Loma de Cunagua

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:33:14

Rising like a huge termite mound above the surrounding flatlands, the Loma de Cunagua, 18km east of Morón, is a protected flora and fauna reserve harboring a ranchón -style restaurant, a small network of trails, and excellent bird-watching opportunities. At 364m above sea level, it's the province’s highest point and views over land and ocean are excellent.

Navigate around the reserve via strolls along short bushy trails (in search of tocororos , zunzúns and the like), or by horseback riding. Turn left off the main road at the sign, pay your fee at the gate, and proceed up the steep unpaved road to the summit. A couple of cabins offer basic overnight accommodation for those in search of some rural tranquility. The Loma is on the Carretera de Bolivia; visits are normally arranged through Ecotur on Cayo Coco.
