Funchal's Botanical Gardens have more than 2,000 plants, including indigenous plants from Madeira and other Atlantic islands and trees from places around the world, from the Himalayas to the tropics. There are also tropical fruit trees, sugar cane, medicinal plants and some exotic and rare birds, including cockatoos, Australian parakeets and dwarf parrots. Attractions at the Monte Palace Tropical Gardens include two Oriental gardens with Buddhist sculptures and Japanese lanterns, and wildlife including koi carp, swans and peacocks.
