Jeep Safari "Nature Tour to La Gran Piedra"

Description

La Gran Piedra, treasure of eastern Cuba. Gigantic mass of stone, witness of the Paleogene volcanism, as well as all the geology of the Sierra Maestra where strata of this type of rocks are present, composed of tuff, ash and other fragments of rocks and liquid products, such as mantles of volcanic lava.

It is located at 1 225 meters above sea level, which makes it a natural viewpoint, to the point that locals claim to see from it, on clear nights, the glow of lights indicating the proximity of the Republic of Haiti. This place offers views of high contrasts. On one side you can see the entire southeastern coastline, where the beaches and picturesque hotels of Baconao Park extend, and in another direction you can see the city of Santiago de Cuba, with its 18-story buildings defying the seismicity of the terrain, and the stony ruins of stately mansions and coffee dryers that signify the Franco-Haitian footprint in these hills.

Program:

• Pick up by jeep from the clients' lodgings.
• Panoramic drive along the Baconao road.
• Visit to the Bird of Paradise Garden, a place scented by the cypress pine and the fragrance of flowers.

TIPS: • Recommended: light clothing, confortables shoes, sunglasses, cap, solar protection and photographic camera.
