Connections for Desembarco del Granma National Park
Desembarco del Granma National Park has been recognized for its marine terraces and pristine sea cliffs.
The park, located in a tectonically active zone, includes both a terrestrial and a marine area. On land, there are several karst features and rich endemic flora, while coral reefs can be found in the sea. The submarine limestone terraces of Cabo Cruz and Maisí are like gigantic stepping stones.
Community Perspective: this is a remote site, it takes 4 hours of driving from Santiago de Cuba. The village of Las Coloradas holds a visitor center and accommodation options. You can also visit as a day tour from Bayamo. As the place where Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and their fellow revolutionaries disembarked from the Granma, it has cultural relevance too.
