Olrite.. let's take a walk and see inside of Bogor Botanic Garden.. ;)
Mexican Garden
Mexican Garden at Bogor Botanic Garden? seriously??
Yup... when the first time I heard this statement I think it was kind of joke, but it wasn't! a friend of mine showed me pictures of a lot of cactus in giant size along with sand and rocks and looked dry.. Mexican Park really exist at Bogor Botanic Garden! woohoo... no need to go to Mexican then, hehehe..:))
That saturday morning, me and my friends left Jakarta to Bogor by train (commuter line). We arrived at Bogor Botanic Garden around 09 AM. The first thing that we did was looking for Mexican Garden..!
As you see.. Bogor Botanic Garden is very huge! we don't bring bycicle so we have to walk to find it. (yes.. we can bring bike but we must pay more for the bike.. check this to see the ticket price for the bike).
Mexican Garden is not far from the entrance. We just need to follow the sign. I said a big O for this garden. Mexican Garden is very beautifulll.. There are so many cactus in giant size with many kind of shape.. These cactus stand on white sand which filled by rock. I heard that these cactus were imported directly from Mexican!.. ^^
Palm Garden
Near Mexican Garden, we can find Palm Garden. As its name, this park is filled by so many kind of palm trees. So many giant palm here, with big root and trunk.
The Center
If we go deeper, we will find the center of Bogor Botanic Garden. It is a very large field covered by grass. There is a restaurant at the end of this field (De daunan Cafe). This place become favourite place for picnic, specially for family who bring children.. ^^
Orchid House
After we pass The Center of Bogor Botanic Garden, we will find a building. This building is the house of orchid (Griya Anggrek). So many orchids live in this house. They came from all around Indonesia, and some of them are made by cross-over or hybrid.
This place enough cozy but not much kind of orchid that I found here. And just some orchid that were bloomming.. :(
But I like this place.. :D
See? Indonesia has alot of beautiful orchids with unique and variation colour and shape.. I really hope the local government can give more attention and contribute to this orchid house. Imagine if we can make this house bigger and filled it with more orchids, I am sure we can compete with National Orchid Garden Singapore.. :)
(you can see my story about National Orchid Garden Singapore here )
Bogor Zoologi Museum
Around 300 m from the entrance, we can find Bogor Zoologi Museum. In this place we can see alot of museum collections (animals which are preserved). Here also lying a huge skeleton of a giant whale. This place is good for us to study about animals. How they live, eat, survive, where they come from, etc.
That's it..
