El Yunque

A wonderful hike only 16km from Baracoa! The tour starts and ends in Baracoa City.

ITINERARY

This hike, from the Visitor Centre to the El Yunque Plateau (a National Monument), is an 8 km walk of medium difficulty level.

​

At 575 meters, we will reach the lookout at the Plateau and enjoy the fantastic views.

​

 During the hike, your guide will point out a variety of endemic palm trees, birds, animals, and beautiful butterflies. You may get to see woodpeckers, the Cuban trogon (tocororo, Cuba’s national bird), and hummingbirds, along the way!

​

A refreshing swim in a natural swimming pool will be the perfect way to complete your visit to El Yunque.
