Description

The Yumurí River Canyon is the most biodiverse and endemic canyon on the island. It is 220 meters deep, has walls about 200 meters high and extends inland for about 4 kilometers. The beauty of the environment that surrounds the green place attracts visitors and locals, it occupies an area of 8.7 square kilometers of forest (it traces the boundaries between the municipalities of Baracoa and Maisí, in the northeast), in which there are many birds and amphibians.

During the journey to reach our destination we will cross the town of El Jamal, the largest producer of cocoa in the municipality of Baracoa, we will stop at the house of the farmer Zoila, where you can taste some of the products that can be obtained by hand from cocoa and coffee. We continue the tour, during which you will also be able to appreciate some impressive views of long black sand beaches, such as Manglito and we will cross an immense stone that falls on the road forming a natural tunnel known as Paso de los Alemanes, totally covered by epiphytes and curujeyes plants.
