The Caribbean Botanical Garden is an agrotourism park dedicated to the production, conservation and exhibition of plants, especially orchids. It is located in La Perla de Guácimo, 700 m south of the junction on Route 32. It has a large collection of orchids of more than 30 genera. These orchids are both domestic and foreign and come from countries such as Venezuela, Thailand, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines and Indonesia. Likewise, our orchid production is very extensive.

As you wander these trails, you can observe sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, tanagers, morpho butterflies, and more. The flora is varied and includes different heliconias, bromeliads, a vanilla plantation, tree ferns, exotic orchids, and more.
