This area of 25,000 ha of unspoilt Cuba
has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
Woods consisting of tropical and deciduous trees and plants
cover the Sierra del Rosario range,
which is crossed by the San Juan river with it’s small falls.
Most of the farmers in the Sierra live in communities founded by a government program in 1968.
The best known is Las Terrazas
whose name derives from the terraces laid out for the pine trees
that are now a characteristic feature of the area.
