Description

---

High up in the Sierra Maestra mountain range is a picturesque tourist villa that promises a pleasant stay to all visitors: Villa Izlazul Santo Domingo. Situated along the Yara River, from its cabanas you can hear the rushing of the river and the melodious chirping of birds. You can enjoy mule and horseback riding, hikes and walks along trails of historic and natural interest and beauty. Santo Domingo is also the venue of lively guateques (Cuban countryside fiestas) where the typical music of the region enraptures listeners. To witness the traditions, lifestyles and customs of the farmers living in Cuba's eastern mountains is an extraordinary experience. Coffee growing is the area's main economic activity. Visitors can trek along the banks of the Yara River or they can hike the Pico Real del Turquino, the highest point in Cuba, which is 1,974 meters above sea level, accompanied by specialized guides. Some interesting places to include in your tour are the trails of Pozo de Lola, Lomo del Espejo, Santo Domingo-Marea del Portillo, Casa Piedra and Santo Domingo-Pico Turquino, a visit to the Lucas Castillo Museum and an excursion to the General Headquarters of La Plata.
