It’s rare that exclusive flower growers outside the USA will even allow strangers onto their plantations, and it’s even rarer still that they will show you blooms and blossoms in development and produced for the mass market. Now, you can get an insider’s look at the flower industry, from the ground up, with this exclusive tour from EcuadorTraveler.com.

A highlight of the tour offers a visit to one of the world’s leading Rose plantations, near Quito. See the vast differences in rose types and the extensive range of varieties and types of colors available. See roses in all sizes which you’ve probably never viewed. You visit South America’s largest Orchid plantation in Cuenca, and a true plantation-- Ecuador’s largest producer of tropical flowers, outside of Guayaquil. Bring your camera; most areas will be open for photographs, and the memories you capture will be breathtaking—but we must warn you, some areas can’t be photographed. At some stops, photography will be restricted due to the secret techniques used for culturing and growing specific flowers.
