Rent a car in El Yunque Cuba

El Yunque de Baracoa is the most famous elevation in the province of Guantánamo, in Cuba. This mountain, located near the city of Baracoa, was declared a National Monument in 1980 for being a site of extraordinary natural and landscape values. It has a high degree of conservation and endemism. On November 27, 1492, Christopher Columbus described it in his logbook: and at the end of it on the southeast side, a cape in which there is a high, square mountain that looked like an island. Since that moment it has become a lighthouse for sailors who sail along the Baracoa coast. El Yunque has a flattened summit with a height of 560 meters above sea level. It is made up of a basement of tuff rocks, on which a large calcareous massif has been located. The summit has a flat and very rough slope resulting from the intense carification. In El Yunque the fauna and flora is very varied, although the most representative are the birds, with an abundance of the Tocororo, the Carta Cuba, the Cao and the Paloma Rabiche.
