Knowmad Adventures in conjunction with the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is proud to announce an incredible garden travel experience to Brazil, March 9th – March 22nd. With awe-inspiring landscapes, forests and gardens, Brazil was also home to one of the most revolutionary landscape architects of all time, Roberto Burle Marx. On this incredible fourteen-day trip we will explore several of his landscaping projects while making our way through Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian gold route. Join Director Emeritus Peter Olin along with exceptional local guides on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure as we walk the streets of historic colonial cities, visit some of the countries most beautiful museums, observe the exotic birds and wildlife found in the world’s largest urban forest, see why Burle Marx was said to “paint with plants,” take a look at some of the country’s and world’s rarest species of plants, and much more!
This is our fourth trip with the Arboretum, having already been to Chile, Peru and Ecuador together. This Brazil trip is open to members and non-members – that means you!
