Did you know there are over 4,000 varieties of orchids in Ecuador? I didn't either. There is an orchid sanctuary and cultivation center in Gualaceo about an hour away from Cuenca. Mark and visited and were amazed by the beautiful and unique flowers. One orchid actually smells like chocolate. There are orchids a little larger than a pin head and others that are like explosions of blooms. I put together a video of some of what we saw. Enjoy.
