I previously wrote about my visit to the Butterfly Garden in Mindo, but there is another beautiful garden worth visiting in this tiny tourist town.  The Orchid Garden, or Jardín de Orquídeas, is a beautiful and tranquil garden located a few blocks away from downtown Mindo in the Ecuadorian cloud forest.  Located on the grounds of the Cabanas Armonia hostel, this garden is a portal into another world, full of hundreds of colors and over 250 species of the most amazing orchids.  Take a tour through this private collection of unique flora, experiencing this delicate ecosystem up close and personal.

The tour takes approximately 40 minutes, after which you can wander on your own, taking photos and viewing the elaborate planting and cultivating system that has been established.  If you have the time, you can also request a bird tour, taking in even more of the natural color found throughout Ecuador.

Free to guests of the hostel, admission to the gardens is $3.00.  Read more about the hostel, the gardens, and the available tours on the garden website, here.
