Sierra Maestra

Sierra Maestra is a mountain range in southeast Cuba that stretches westward over the ancient Oriente Province, rising abruptly from the shore. From Cape Cruz on the southern side of the Gulf of Guacanayabo to the Guantánamo River valley, the range stretches eastward. The heavily forested mountains rise abruptly from the Caribbean coast, culminating in Turquino Peak, Cuba's highest peak at 6,476 feet (1,974 meters). Coffee is grown in the Sierra Maestra's slopes, which produce mahogany, cedar, ebony, and other hardwoods.

The entire area is a beautiful, diverse natural paradise. On its orography, you'll discover a wide range of landscapes and climates, which have resulted in an unusual settlement owing to its beauty and outstanding ecological conditions, which are home to several indigenous fauna and flora species. It is today a greatly valued place by the Cuban people due to its incomparable natural worth, in addition to its historical significance.
