Cuba: Canyon del Yumuri
Another must see attraction is Canyon del Yumuri, about 30km southeast from Baracoa along a scenic coastal route. The canyon is truly spectacular, the Yumuri River cuts through a narrow gorge with the verticalcliffs rising on both sides. Here you take a boat tour slowly floating over the crystal clear river waters, and surrounded by wildlife and birds in pristine jungle. The Yumuri Canyon is around 8 km long in total and cliffs rise up to 200 m high in some places. The canyon is surrounded by tropical forests, including various species of plants and wildlife endemic to the area and found nowhere else.
