Visiting the Orchidarium - Cuenca
Today we went to the Orchidarium. We walked down the main river a few miles, and then started asking around for the location, we found it eventually and weren't far off. For $1 we got a tour of the whole facilities by the doctor himself. There are multiple green houses for different stages of the orchids. The even harvest the soil with tweezers from tree trunks. There is one plant here which is the last of it's specific kind. It is very precise, and I understand why people working there wear lab coats! Here are some of the beautiful orchids we saw, and some photos of our visit.
