Parque Botánico José Celestino Mutis
The José Celestino Mutis Botanical Park is located in the natural settings of La Rábida, in the municipal district of Palos de la Frontera (Huelva). The Muelle de las Carabelas (Caravel Wharf), the Latin American Forum and the La Rábida Gardens, all belonging to the Huelva Provincial Government, together make up the first-class Historic-Tourist Heritage of the province of Huelva.
The José Celestino Mutis Botanical Park is a natural, living and ever-changing area. Since it opened it has been providing visitors with a growing collection of flora gathered in the five continents. A visit to the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Park is to submerge yourself in a unique nature area, which also preserves the spirit of integration and exchange with Latin American countries, a central feature of La Rábida.
As a living entity, the Park is in a state of constant change and growth, so even though you make frequent visits you will always find a different park. This is just one reason why these historical places have become the most visited tourist attractions in the province of Huelva. There is a team of guides who provide the opportunity for taking a pleasant stroll and discovering the world of plants.
