Jardín botánico Orquideario Soroa, Botanical garden with orchid collection in Artemisa Province, Cuba
The garden spans 35,000 square meters and contains over 20,000 specimens of orchids within a tropical environment near Sierra del Rosario mountains.
Tomás Felipe Camacho, a Canary Islands lawyer, established the garden in 1943 with an initial collection of 18,000 orchid specimens.
The garden maintains a specialized library dedicated to Orchidaceae research, contributing to the education of new botanists and scientific advancement.
The facility incorporates shade structures and tree trunks that regulate sunlight and airflow, creating natural growing conditions for diverse orchid species.
Scientists at the garden conduct tissue culture experiments to propagate rare specimens, including the native Ghost Orchid, Polyrrhiza lindenii.
