El Yunque
Guantánamo Province, Cuba
El Yunque is a striking 575-meter table mountain in Guantánamo Province, Cuba, located 7 kilometers west of Baracoa between the Duaba and Toa rivers, renowned for its anvil-like flat summit shaped by erosion and noted by Christopher Columbus during his voyages.
Declared a National Monument in 1979, it forms part of the Cuchillas del Toa Biosphere Reserve, covered in moist forests, cocoa plantations under royal palms, and endemic species like the Cuban trogon and chat tanager amid high endemism.
Popular for an 8-kilometer round-trip hike offering panoramic valley views, Taíno archaeological sites, and a refreshing dip in the Duaba River, it provides a lush, biodiverse escape in Cuba's eastern highlands.
