A long drive through the "real" country gives a wonderful experience and chance to appreciate the authentic beauty of Cuba away from the resorts. It is a long drive from the coast so be prepared to set aside a day of your trip to visit. That said, it is well worth the jeep ride down and offers some of the most scenic and breaktakingly beautiful views of the natural landscape. It really is out of this world. Take your swimming costumes along as the natural salt water pool and chance to go inside the waterfall is a highlight of this trip. An experience which appeals to adults and children alike and is one of the most family-friendly day trips out of Holguin. I felt that the lunch served in the restaurant was also one of the best meals I had during my time in Cuba, which was unexpected given we were a long way from the resorts. It was a peaceful and educational experience, which left me feeling I'd gained an insight into the true beauty of this country.

We were able to visit this area of outstanding natural beauty as part of our tour of Cuba organised by Wijin Travel. One exceptional part of this was the 14km ride up to the park in two classic cars, driven by father and son. The winding road would not really have been suitable for our minibus. At the park a local guide/ranger led us through the forest pointing out interesting features, including a tocororo, the Cuban national bird, whose call we had clearly heard in the trees. There is great swimming in a natural pool below a small waterfall so be prepared for that. There are changing rooms and showers in the visitor centre if you need to freshen up afterwards. Back at the visitor centre we had a good lunch and were well entertained by the barman, an award winning cocktail maker, who put on a good show by lining up six glasses and making his speciality cocktail which was enjoyed by all!

This was a great trip into the mountains. Climate totally different. Rain and cool. A nice change from the heat.

Spent the morning here as part of our tour. We had the use of a knowlegeable local guide, who pointed out the local flora and fauna. Over a rope bridge, following a river, sometimes the path is smooth and flat, other times climbing up some gentle rocky hills, around 4-5 kilometres each way. Stopped in an isolated farmers hut midway for a cup of brew. The destination is a waterfall, rockpool and the chance to do a spot of swimming before heading back. Very enjoyable easy paced ramble through some delightful countryside. On return to the start, we had a buffet style lunch, with some very sweet coffee.

The waterfall was awesome and the people at the beginning of the trail give a great overview and answer all questions...The hike is steep and tough on the way back but, the waterfall was well worth it.
