the Japanese Gardens, the Botanical gardens and studying about Medicinal Plants

---

In the afternoon I climbed up Cerro San Cristobal to the Japanese Gardens, and then onto the Botanical Gardens which had been set up to protect plants growing in the 4 regions of Chile – the far North (the desert), near North, Central zone and Southern zone (the most beautiful). The one I remember was the Chilean palm tree, which was endangered. I mainly studied the Medicinal plants section as that was what interested me most. I took photos so I could read up on their healing properties later.
