Orquideario de Soroa

Cuba, Cuba

Orquideario de Soroa, also known as the Soroa Orchidarium, is a stunning botanical garden in Cuba dedicated to orchids, spanning about 35,000 square meters in the Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve in Artemisa province, west of Havana.

Created in 1943 by Tomás Felipe Camacho, a Spanish lawyer from the Canary Islands who wanted to honor his deceased wife by cultivating her favorite flowers, the garden now houses over 20,000 specimens representing around 700 orchid species, including 130 native Cuban species and many rare endemic varieties.

The garden combines nature, tourism, research, and tradition, featuring all Caribbean orchid species displayed across a landscaped hillside with delicate, beautiful blooms that mainly flower from November to May. Today it serves as both a national heritage site and a scientific research center under the University of Pinar del Río, offering guided tours in Spanish or English while attracting insects and birds from the surrounding area.
