2 reviews of Alejandro de Humboldt National Park

One of the biggest ecological reserves

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, the PN Alexander von Humboldt is one of the biggest ecological reserves in Cuba, a real Noah's Ark containing many species endemic to the island and the park itself, which is one of the world's most diverse ecosystems. The PN was founded in the 80s, honoring the name of Alexander von Humboldt, the German naturalist who traveled and cataloged much of the American continent in the early nineteenth century. His journey was one of the most important scientific journeys in history (do not miss the many national parks and reserves that bear his name spread across the Americas: Http :/ / es.Wikipedia.Org / wiki / Alexander_von_Humboldt # Honores_y_reconocimientos).

In this case, the Humboldt National Park is a haven for botanists and biologists, it contains species that are seriously threatened in other parts of the world (such as manatees) or not directly found anywhere else. I recommend taking a tour with one of the people responsible for its maintenance. Tours can be arranged from the city of Baracoa and are much more enjoyable and entertaining than going into the PN on you own. Look to visit during the summer months because the heat/humidity of the area are brutal.

Exhilaration!

I rode a jeep through this park, hanging on for dear life because the passenger door kept flying open. The driver had to jump-start the jeep every time it stalled, which was often. Gorgeous views, hot and humid, Cuba at its best!
