A worthwhile visit for 2 or 3 h. The park has many old trees which are worth to see. Alltogether a good Thing for a sunny morning

Very beautiful, good for a walk or run. Nice view of the river. Good for children. Not far from downtown.

Over the bridge from he city, walk down the street and take the tree lined promenade to Austral. The garden will be on the right. It is not amazing but worth a visit to get away from the commotion of the city and into quiet nature.

Go prepared, it will probably rain. Check what cultural activity is going on in the University. Cross the river in a boat, then It will be one hour walk, but you will see more river, nice houses and gardens. Also some restaurants that you might like to check for and early dinner before going back to the hotel. All this has to be during day light. At night Valdivia is not that interesting. Then it is time to rest, eat and drink good Chilean red wine. Also to study where you are going the next day. Drink all the wine and have a good night sleep!!!

Lovely and well kept, the University's botanical gardens are in a secluded spot of Isla Teja - away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. There are many ancient large tree specimens from around the world sorted by geographical groupings with paths meandering between them. Between the stands of trees are large well kept lawns that are nice to lie out or play on with kids or dogs. Put quite simply, this place is a spot of beauty and tranquillity, a true hidden gem that even the well travelled should visit. Although my boyfriend and I were in the city, we felt totally connected to nature and quite contemplative while here.

Had a pleasant stroll through this arboretum, which was practically empty on a rainy Tuesday afternoon.

The paths circle through well kept lawns, below trees of many heights and ages and types, and far out into the garden of trees and bushes. This is a place to slow down, to simply wander and sit on a bench, to dream or be with a lover, to smile and look upwards.

Lovely setting by river. Gardens are very 'natural' and paths meander everywhere. Lovely collection of plants and a very peaceful location to go for a relaxing walk

Undoubtedly, one of the beautiful places in Valdivia. Just stroll around enjoying this extraordinary botanical garden. Together with a trip on boat to the rivers and the Food Fair in Niebla, I would say one can live happily ever after!
