Topes de Collantes Natural Park
Highway 12 northwest of Trinidad
Description:
Topes de Collantes is a huge National Reserve 12 km northwest of Trinidad. You can get here only by car, and travel through the park on foot, or on horses hired immediately.
The main goal of all travelers who came to this region is the waterfall Salto del Caburni. It is one of the highest waterfalls in Cuba. Streams of water, breaking down from a height of 62 m, with noise fall on the honed stones, forming a natural pool with crystal clear water. To see the waterfall with your own eyes, you need to overcome a difficult path: a steep canyon, a narrow mountain path and only the jungle around.
In addition to grottoes, lakes and rivers, there is much to see in the National Park. There are more than 100 species of ferns, several dozen different orchids and coffee. Anyone can walk through the coffee plantations and taste green coffee beans.
