ORQUÍDEAS NATURAL PARK DUNAS DE LIENCRES
Cantabria is a paradise for wild orchids, its great diversity of habitats and ecosystems make many of these incredible flowers occur in our community. Perhaps one of the hottest spots for the observation of these flowers, is the Natural Park of the Dunes of Liencres, where we can find more than 20 different species throughout the year.
In this interpreted walk we will discover the secrets that these plants enclose and we will know others equally adapted to the changing dune ecosystem.
Their means of reproduction, their beauty and the associations with other organisms, make these flowers catch us from the first moment.
