Photogallery of pictures taken during journeys and expeditions to El Pahuma Orchid Reserve (Ecuador).
The El Pahuma Orchid Reserve is a 650 hectare cloud forest reserve located about one hour north from Quito. The lush vegetation is fed by abundant moisture from the mist-laden air and provides home to a multitude of epiphytes including bromeliads, orchids, mosses and ferns.
The one-acre botanical garden near the reserve entrance is accessed by an easy loop trail from the Nature Center. The garden celebrates the forest as habitat; no trees were cut to create it. Plantings of hundreds of native species of orchids, aroids, bromeliads, ferns and shrubs are interspersed within the trees, highlighting the diversity and beauty of the region's flora.
