Sierra del Rosario

Located in the Pinar del Río region of Cuba, the Sierra del Rosario mountain range is a nature lover's paradise. This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is home to lush forests, stunning waterfalls, and a diverse array of flora and fauna. The area is a haven for hikers, birdwatchers, and anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Cuban countryside.

One of the highlights of the Sierra del Rosario is the Las Terrazas eco-community, a sustainable development project that offers visitors a chance to experience rural Cuban life while enjoying the region's natural wonders. Here, you can take guided hikes through the mountains, swim in crystal-clear rivers, and visit coffee plantations to learn about the island's rich agricultural history.

The Sierra del Rosario is also home to the Soroa Orchid Garden, a breathtaking botanical garden that showcases a stunning variety of orchids and other tropical plants. Visitors can wander through the garden's pathways, taking in the vibrant colors and intoxicating scents of the flowers while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

For those interested in history, the Sierra del Rosario is also home to the ruins of Cafetal Buenavista, a former coffee plantation that offers a glimpse into Cuba's colonial past. Guided tours of the plantation provide insight into the area's agricultural heritage and the impact of coffee production on the region.
