Exploring Cuba's Geographic Wonders

Cuba is not just beaches; it boasts a range of landscapes from lush mountains and tropical forests to wetlands and arid regions, each with unique ecosystems and rich biodiversity.

The Viñales Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its mogotes - karst formations surrounded by tobacco fields that contribute to Cuba's famous cigar industry.

Home to Pico Turquino, Cuba's highest peak, the Sierra Maestra mountains are steeped in history as the revolutionary's stronghold and offer challenging hikes through endemic flora.

Ciénaga de Zapata is the Caribbean's largest wetland, it's a critical habitat for migratory birds, crocodiles, and the prehistoric fish, Manjuarí, found nowhere else on Earth.

Cuba's four major archipelagos, including Jardines del Rey, consist of hundreds of islands and cays with pristine beaches, coral reefs, and a paradise for marine life exploration.

Baconao Park, with its prehistoric valley featuring life-size dinosaur sculptures, is a Biosphere Reserve harboring over 1800 plant species and diverse wildlife, a true natural museum.

The lesser-known Escambray Mountains are a hidden gem, offering cool climates, waterfalls, and deep pools like the enchanting El Nicho, set amidst coffee plantations and traditional farms.
