If you are planning a trip to Cuba, undoubtedly, within the itinerary must be Soroa, that’s why we decided to start with the orchid house. This site is located in the Biosphere Reserve “Sierra del Rosario”, in the outskirts of the municipality of Candelaria, and is essential for a trip to the town.

Prior to January 2011 was part of the territory pinareño; but after the coming into force of the new administrative division in Cuba, came to be, along with Saint Kitts and Bahia Honda, the geography of the province of Artemisa.

The guide explained to us that it already includes a little more than 20 thousand copies, and that the canary Tomas Felipe Camacho is responsible for the creation of The Botanical Garden orchid farms, Soroa, because in this place he found solace after the painful loss of his wife and daughter.

This year’s met 61 years of the idea and its natural value to the wealthy lawyer, he became a member of the Cuban Society of Orchids affiliate of the American Orchid Society and of the Eastern Orchid Congress, with plants from Asia and America.

In these times has become a hub of experimentation, where studies are carried out very serious each of the variants of the orchid, by the cultivation of tissues in vitro and reintroduced into their natural environment. Has 35 thousand square meters.

A mogote around the site and serves as a lookout point. The Hotel is a few minutes of road. The resort has the special offer of bathrooms-medicinal base of hot springs pools collective. The guide explained that it could be cycling, and mountaineering.

In addition, later we witnessed the walks along the banks of the river Springs, following the path of the bathrooms in the call Pool of Love. They have little depth and crystal clear waters, perfect for enjoying a nice bath. We ended up in the iconic Leap of Soroa. It is one of those wonderful places that I recommend for a trip in Cuba.

“The green route of the French coffee” ruins of the NINETEENTH century, the river Bayate and the farming Community The Brujito-The Comadre and ended up being part of our journey. Then they knew that the coffee plantations, Independence, Hope, and Mercy were founded by settlers who escaped from Haiti in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution.

On the highest hill of Soroa ended the day in the restaurant The “Castle of The Clouds”, where he offered us a delicious dinner. At the entrance, as made of a single piece, there is a rarity: it was a table made with ebony wood. Once more we feel to have found the right place.
