Where to stay in Jardim Floresta
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds are a Porto Alegre matter. Jardim Floresta carries one entry of its own, the Estátua de Obirici, and nothing in the sources points to lodging arranged around it, so the search for a room properly starts in the surrounding city. That is the short answer.
Anyone wanting the statue on the doorstep is trading choice for quiet, and everyone else will find the wider capital of Rio Grande do Sul does the job with far less effort.

About Jardim Floresta
What are the main landmarks in Jardim Floresta?
One statue, one entry. Estátua de Obirici is the whole of what the registers attach to Jardim Floresta, and no church, park or museum joins it under the bairro's name. The rest is street.
A visitor working through the monuments of Porto Alegre will come this way for the statue alone, since the wider stock of named sights across Rio Grande do Sul sits outside this boundary.
What is the history of Jardim Floresta?
Jardim Floresta's beginnings go unrecorded. The bairro appears in the encyclopaedic sources under a title in Portuguese that ties it to Rio Grande do Sul, yet nothing there fixes when the ground was laid out, by whom, or under which municipal act. The statue is the exception.
Estátua de Obirici is the one monument the record hands to this corner of Porto Alegre, and it arrives without any account of who or what it stands for.
Where is Jardim Floresta?
The ground Jardim Floresta covers belongs to Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the Estátua de Obirici is its one fixed point.
