Visit to the Agro-ecological and Medicinal Plants Farm

We propose that you live a truly unique experience at the Agro-ecological and Medicinal Plants Farm, located only 1 km from the Horizontes Soroa Hotel. We invite you to learn about our experience in the use of organic methods for cultivation while enjoying a beautiful country setting surrounded by vegetation and bird songs.

This was created with the purpose of planting plants with medicinal properties, taking advantage of the temperature changes that occur in the mountain area, which are used as a supply for pharmaceutical companies. It has plantations of about 75 species of medicinal plants, about 150 species of fruit trees, 300 varieties of orchids, as well as other plant species.

This is a family project where its members share the tasks and give special attention to the work in the field. During your visit you can make your contribution in the daily tasks and in this way learn and know the importance of the care and conservation of these plants. In addition, you will have a bibliography related mainly to issues concerning the cultivation and protection of medicinal plants.

At the end of the tour you will be able to enjoy delicious natural juices, coffee, tea or infusions and candies made from local fruits. This farm has several recognitions among which we can highlight the appointment of Farm of National Excellence in the Cultivation of Medicinal Plants, recognition issued by the National Group of Urban and Sub Urban Agriculture and the Institute of Fundamental Research in Tropical Agriculture "Alejandro de Humboldt" by its acronym INIFAT.
