- Vivero Verapaz Orchid
Part of my Guatemala Photography Safari was spent in and around Coban. Just a few miles out of town is the world famous Vivero Verapaz Orchid Nursery. This nursery has more than 650 varieties of orchids, including the monja blanca or white nun, an albino looking variety found in this region.

I spent about 8 hours over two days photographing orchids at the Vivera. Every time I thought I was finished the workers would show me another plant to photograph. What a thrill. Visit the my gallery for more Orchids.
While I was in Guatemala only a few varieties or orchids were in bloom so I intend to lead a photography tour to Guatemala in early spring to photograph Mayan Ruins, Native Peoples, as many species of orchids as possible. Watch my web site for more details.
