WHEN NAPOLEON WAS INVADING PORTUGAL, IN 1808, THE KING OF PORTUGAL, DOM JOÃO VI, VERY AFRAID OF NAPOLEON, FLED WITH ALL ROYAL FAMILY AND COURT TO BRAZIL , ESTABLISHING THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE KINGDOM IN RIO DE JANEIRO !
HERE HE DEVELOPED THE CITY VERY MUCH, FOUNDING UNIVERSITIES, LIBRARIES, HARBOURS, INDUSTRIES, AND EVEN, FINDING THE LOCAL VEGETATION SO EXUBERANT, A....BOTANICAL GARDEN !!!
THIS BOTANICAL GARDEN IS FAMOUS WORLDWIDE, AND IMPORTANT VISITORS ALWAYS GO THERE. IT HAS BEEN VISITED ALREADY BY EINSTEIN , BY THE ENGLAND´S QUEEN ELIZABETH, ETC... !!
HERE ARE A FEW PICS , TAKEN BY MY COUSIN MARCELO:

NOTE THE CHRIST STATUE ON THE BACKGROUND, ON TOP OF CORCOVADO MOUNTAIN:

NOTE THE " VICTORIA-REGIA" , THAT LARGE FLOATING PLANT, WHICH IS TYPICAL OF AMAZON RAIN FOREST:

HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS BOTANICAL TOUR !
