Blog Image Adventures in the Cloud Forest Misty mornings unveil a new world at 馃搷The Cloud Forest Retreat. The air, thick with the scent of orchids and damp earth, clings to my skin as I sip coffee, watching hummingbirds dart between vibrant heliconia flowers. The image of the misty mountainside is exactly as breathtaking as I imagined, a symphony of greens and greys unfolding before me.
