Soroa is a beautiful place located in the mountains near to Havana. There you can enjoy the nature, mountains, rivers, water falls, horses, fishing, etc.It is a very quite place.

Excursions

The water fall (Salto de agua). It is a short excurcion about half an hour, and an easy way. It's a very exotic place, where you can take a bath under the water fall. But as everywhere in Cuba here you have to pay for enjoing the nature. The entrance costs 1 CUC.

Viewing point (Mirador). In one hour you will stay in the high of a mountain from where you can have a beautiful view of Soroa, the beach and other mountains. You can not forget to take with you something to drink, because during the way and in the Mirador you can't buy anything.

Orquideas garden (Jardín de Orquideas). I will just say that is very nice to visite this garden. Entrance 1 CUC.

Sierra del Rosario. In 20 km from Soroa is la Sierra del Rosario. Is true that Soroa is very famous, but I think Rosario is the best. There is a valley inside another one, rounded by the San Juan river, by a wood of real palms, with a lot of orange trees, mango trees, flouers and a very good smell. There you can enjoy the nature, walking or with a horse as you prefer.

Another excurcion can be to Pinar del Rio or Viñales, but I suggest you to go to these places for more than an excurcion (I mean to stay there two or tree days when you have time, of course).

How to go to Soroa

Astro (bus line) has every day at least one bus to Candelaria. There you have to look for the street that goes to Soroa. It is near to a gas service, and there you have to wait for a car (when they stop and take you). But is not so difficult to take a car and there are only few km from Candelaria to Soroa.
Train. There are trains from Havana to Candelaria (the train that goes to Pinar del Rio). For coming back from Soroa to Havana you can easily take the train, for the way Havana - Candelaria I don´t think that's a good idea because of timetable reasons.
There are also trucks from Havana to Candelaria but I suggest you to go with Astro.
