Dawn arrives over the Central Andes and mist peels off ridgelines as the Quindío Botanical Garden opens its gates. The first day moves at a measured pace: tropical palms and orchids line gravel paths, hummingbird feeders buzz like tiny motors, and a butterfly house turns iridescent wings into sudden color patches among tree ferns.
