Monteverde Orchid Garden, Botanical garden in Santa Elena, Costa Rica.
The Monteverde Orchid Garden contains more than 450 species of orchids, with 120 different varieties flowering each day throughout the year.
The garden started when the founder discovered a small orchid plant during a forest walk, leading to a collection that opened to visitors in 2008.
The garden educates visitors about wild orchids and hybrids through guided tours that highlight the ecological importance of these native flowers.
The facility welcomes guests daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering tours in English and Spanish that last approximately 45 minutes.
The collection includes miniature orchids measuring between 1 and 3 centimeters, representing 80 percent of the wild orchid species.
