About Orquivalle

Andrea Niessen
and Juan Carlos Uribe

Our founders met through their passion for orchids. Andrea is a biologist with a master’s degree in Gainesville, Florida. Juan Carlos is an agricultural engineer with master’s degree in Texas A&M.

Their common passion led them to create a family and after a couple of years they turned their hobby into a Company. Orquídeas del Valle SAS was founded in 1989 with a small nursery in Ginebra – Valle and a sales warehouse in Cali.

Today we have two orchid retail shops,  two nurseries (warm and cool weather) and 15 direct employees. We have created a community of families that lives around orchids. Orquivalle is a worldwide reference company in the conservation, reproduction and cultivation of Colombian species.

We are members of the most important orchid societies
