Hike to the idyllic El Nicho waterfall

Does your trip to Cuba include a stay in Cienfuegos? Then take a trip from Cuba's sixth-largest city to the tranquil, green countryside. This is the source of the Río Hanabanilla, one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes on the Caribbean island. As a rushing waterfall, it plunges 15 meters over rocky terraces before collecting in a natural basin. Enjoy the untouched nature of the Sierra del Escambray and take a refreshing dip at the foot of the rushing El Nicho waterfall.
