Alive and seductive, that is the nature of Cayo Largo del Sur. Its diverse and ancient plant life is a coastline vegetation where bushes and plants typical of this setting predominate: there is the ciruelillo, the hicaco and the cuabilla together with bindweed, sage and mangrove that adorn the ancient dunes with their own peculiar woven pattern.

The El Torreón nursery is also located on Cayo Largo del Sur, located one kilometer from the Isla del Sur hotel and close to the Lindamar and Pelicano hotels.

Back in 1958 this building was a 2.11 hectare aqueduct used for the reproduction of 63 species of native plants introduced to decorate the gardens of the hotel network.

The hotel gardens are also the habitat of native animal species such as the crocodile acutus, iguanas, hummingbirds, sparrow hawk and chinchiguaco.

This area because of a diverse plant and animal life due to its interlinked lagoons and its stone tower that will be used as a look out point is one of the many attractions open to visitors to Cayo Largo del Sur.
