This work was conducted in the mangrove ecosystem of Ejido Aquiles Serdan, Paraíso. Tabasco, Mexico, August 2009 to January 2010, with the aim of identifying and quantifying the richness and diversity of orchids of touristic potential. Four units of sampling 500 m2 (10 x 50 m) and four linear transects 600 m to collect and photograph plants were drawn. The richness and diversity of orchid species was calculated using the Shannon-Weaner index (1949) and the similarity by Sörensen (1948). The selection of species with higher aptitude and touristic potential was performed through the evaluation of morphological parameters, aesthetic, perceptual and photographs. We identified 47 samples of Brassavola nodosa (L.) Lindl, 10 samples of Catasetum integerrimun Hook, 17 samples of Encyclia boothiana Lindl, five of Epidendrum rigidum Jacq, five of Myrmecophylla tibiscinis Bateman and five of Oncidium cavendischianum Bateman. The Shannon-Weaner index (1.2334) indicated that there was no homogeneity found in the distribution between individuals and species. The Sörensen index indicated that, the A-D transects showed the lowest value of common species (28%) and the C-D transects had the highest value (80%). Based on the morphological characteristics evaluated, the species that had the highest value of 19.8 was Myrmecophyla tibiscinis Bateman.
