The Mountain range of Cubitas, near Camagüey, it’s

dense tropical forest. The Mountain range of Guaniguanico,
in the north of the island, offers a spectacular landscape
of rivers running among mountains and limestone caves.
Another possibility is horse riding, offered by some tourist
farms in Baconao and Trinidad.
