Description
The smallest country in the Andean highlands is the richest in biodiversity.
There are more than 4,200 documented species of orchids in Ecuador, with a number of species still not identified. In fact Ecuador boasts the highest orchid diversity of any country in the world, regardless of size. This great variety offers an excellent opportunity for orchid touring for both experienced enthusiasts and novices alike.
Orchids grow in all ecosystems throughout Ecuador, and some species range as high up as 4000 meters. The majority, however, are found in the humid cloud forests and rain forests of the country. You may never get to see many of the wild species as they grow high up in the canopy of tall tropical trees.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken Nov 29/15 during a display in El Centro in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
