"SOROA + LAS TERRAZAS" Tour
Soroa, a place famous since the 17th century for its beauty, is also known as the Rainbow of Cuba. It is a privileged place for the conservation of the richness, variety and excellence of its flora and fauna. This site has the largest orchid garden in the country which is a paradise for lovers of these plants, you can find more than 750 different varieties of orchids and several species of ferns have found a pleasant refuge in this colorful garden.
Its main attraction is the spectacular 22-meter high waterfall that invites you to take a refreshing bath at any time of the year. This waterfall is caused by the Manantiales River and is one of the wonders of Cuban geography. From the top, there is a marvelous view of the place.
The community of Las Terrazas is located in the Sierra del Rosario, one of Cuba's natural fortresses, declared a Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1985. Arriving at Las Terrazas is like entering the intensity of the exquisite wild places where humans and nature merge. This is the impression given by the evergreen forests, rivers and waterfalls of crystalline waters. To enter the community is to be certain that beautiful sites really exist and that human efforts to protect the natural environment persist.
