Cuba Nature Travel – Soroa Orchid Garden and Waterfall

Cuba is renowned for its nature; the green of its landscapes, and its dense, unspoiled spots, but there is a place of particular note for its intense greenery and exotic spectrum: the Sierra del Rosario. This mountain massif stretches 25000 hectares half way between the western Cuba province of Pinar del Rio and Havana. It’s one of the Biosphere reserves in Cuba declared and protected by UNESCO. Along with the Sierra de los Órganos (where Viñales is located), it’s considered to be the most ancient part of the Island as well as the most historically uninhabited because of its rugged nature and harsh climate (hot under the sun and relatively cold in the shade, too humid and rainy throughout the year).

Two places very popular among nature-loving tourists are located in the Sierra del Rosario: Las Terrazas Eco-Tourism Community and Soroa. Soroa is best known for its Orchid Garden and famous Waterfall. Opposed to Las Terrazas, Soroa has the most ancient forests in Western Cuba and its nature is even denser and lusher than Las Terrazas’. Trees are varied in the area, including mahoganies, cedar, carob, and ferns among others, and could easily be 50 meters tall and more than 150 years old. Continue reading
