Topes de Collantes
Topes de Collantes is a lush mountain park high in the Escambray Mountains of central Cuba. It is a cool, green world of pine forests, waterfalls, and hidden natural pools.
Nature lovers treasure Topes de Collantes for its refreshing hikes to tumbling waterfalls. Cooler mountain air, singing birds, and green scenery make it a wonderful escape into the wild.
Waterfalls
Hiking trails lead to beautiful waterfalls that pour into cool, clear pools where you can take a dip. The tallest falls tumble down mossy rocks surrounded by ferns and flowers.
Cool Mountain Air
Because the park sits high in the mountains, the air is cooler and fresher than at the beaches. Morning mist often drifts through the tall pine trees like soft clouds.
Birds and Plants
The forests are home to tiny hummingbirds, colorful parrots, and Cuba's national bird, the tocororo. Giant ferns, orchids, and coffee bushes grow all along the shady trails.
