the Country

Route 1: The Lush West
Palms, pine trees, tobacco fields: in the Western part of the island
everything seems to be green. Even the intriguing limestone mountains
adjacent to the fertile plains of Viñales are draped in green.

Crocodile

the foot of the fertile coffee-growing slopes of the Escambray Mountains
contrasts dramatically with the present-day poverty of the Cuban people.

Route 4: The wild East
The rugged tree-covered mountains of the Sierra Maestra formerly served
as Fidel Castro's hideout, Manzanillo epitomizes the cradle of Cuban
nationalism, and the Bacanao-Park attracts tourists with dolphins.
