“TO LAS TERRAZAS - SOROA“ Tour

Las Terrazas and Soroa are two tourist destinations located in the province of Artemisa, Cuba, which stand out for their natural beauty, biodiversity and historical and cultural relevance.

Las Terrazas is an ecotourism community known for its focus on sustainable development and environmental conservation. Located in the Sierra del Rosario mountain range in western Cuba, Las Terrazas is part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The area was originally a reforestation and agricultural development project, but today it has become an example of harmony between nature and humans. The community is surrounded by lush forests, crystalline rivers and a rich fauna, being home to diverse species of birds and plants. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, boating on the San Juan River and bird watching. One of the main attractions of Las Terrazas is its tranquil atmosphere and the possibility of interacting with the local community, which is known for its hospitality and commitment to the conservation of the natural environment. The area is also home to community art projects, such as the Casa del Arte, which promotes culture and the development of residents through workshops and exhibitions.

Soroa, known as “the gateway to the Sierra del Rosario”, is a natural paradise that is home to one of Cuba's most famous waterfalls, the Salto de Soroa. This impressive waterfall, more than 20 meters high, is one of the main attractions of the region and one of Cuba's natural wonders. Soroa is also renowned for its biodiversity, especially in terms of orchid species, with the famous Orquideario de Soroa, home to more than 700 different species of these beautiful flowers. In addition to its natural beauty, Soroa has an important connection with Cuban history and culture, as vestiges of ancient indigenous settlements and traces of colonial influence can be found in its surroundings.

Both destinations, Las Terrazas and Soroa, are ideal for lovers of nature, ecotourism and local culture. They offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, allowing tourists to experience a more authentic and serene Cuba, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and a warm and welcoming community.
