The Inhotim Institute, Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

            Walking through the Inhotim gardens is more than just contemplating its exuberance. Inserted in the remaining forested portion of the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado – two of the richest biomes in biodiversity and, at the same time, threatened on the planet – the Institute is a pulsating field for scientific research and a tool for conservation and environmental education.

In 2010, Inhotim was recognized as a Botanical Garden, a title awarded by the National Commission of Botanical Gardens (CNJB). The gardens, which began to be built in the 1980s, were designed by Pedro Nehring, who is still responsible for the landscaping of Inhotim. Between 2000 and 2004, Luiz Carlos Orsini created the 25-hectare landscaping project. Today, the Institute is a national and international reference in contemporary tropical landscaping.

In total, there are more than 140 hectares of visitation area, in addition to an extension of 250 hectares of Inhotim Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN). The Inhotim Botanical Garden (JBI) manages the collection and botanical collections, comprising more than 4,300 native Brazilian and exotic species from around the world, in addition to researching and monitoring the Institute's natural heritage.

In 2021, Instituto Inhotim was awarded the Grant Awarded – BGCI’s Global Botanic Garden Fund, an international incentive that recognizes and supports projects that work towards plant conservation.

It's my third time and I walked 3/4 of the Inhotim institute until today. I walked through the left front part of the desert plants and some art galleries. I'll have to go one more time to see the last part (4/4).

The distance from home to Inhotim Institute is 549.5 kilometers or 340.8 miles by car. The fastest route takes about 7 hours and 19 minutes.

From São Paulo State to Minas Gerais State.
