The Cuban flora counts with more than 6 thousand species and from them, more than 50% are endemic or local to our land. The endemic species are plenty in the eastern region, where more than one thousand 800 have been classified. The typical and exotic species of the island are: the sugar cane and the royal palm, the national tree. 

Specialists have classified two fundamental areas to study the Cuban flora: the Western side, which includes the Rosario and the Organs Mountain Ranges and the Pan de Guajaibón and in the eastern side, where there are the Nipe, Cristal, Baracoa and Moa Mountain Ranges and the great mountain massif of the Sierra Maestra.

The Moa region at the north side of Holguin province is considered by scientists as “Cuba’s Garden” since it shows a rich flora in species and most ancient plants of the country live here, for example, the Fracaena Cubensi. The Rosario Mountain Range, in this part of the country, is considered a biosphere reserve, the national flora counts there with a very special reservoir.

Nearly the 25% of the island is formed by: pines, oaks and tobacco plantations. In the South Coast, the mangrove flourishes while in the North Coast, the rocky cliffs and in the central we find the rain forests, special word which designates the forest, humid and tropical vegetation.

All these species we find in the Cuban flora will be a special attraction to develop nature photography during excursions where we may capture the green  scenario which is characteristic of the Cuban vegetation  in recommended places such as the Rosario Mountain Range, the Guajaibon Plan, the Viñales National Park in the western side of Cuba and in the eastern Sierra Maestra with the Turquino Peak and the Escambray Mountain Range, where there are wonderful tours which are a true paradise for the practicing of photography of the Cuban flora and fauna.
