Havana, Oct 13. - The Mercosur Travel and Tourism Magazine today featured the landscape of Topes de Collantes in central Cuba through a report that highlights this setting.
A report by Uruguayan journalist and director of the publication, Julio Cesar Debali, reflects the virtues and beauty of the place, which he visited last September during his participation in the Destino Gaviota 2025 tourism exchange (September 14-20), which involved three thousand sector professionals.
The publication states that Cuba is Pure Nature, with unique locations perfect for adventure tourism. With lush vegetation and mountains that cut across the horizon, spaces close to sun and beach tourist poles, it emphasizes.
The article notes that Cuban authorities maintain constant concern for the appropriate balance between environmental protection and the exploitation of protected areas for the benefit of nature and adventure tourism.
In Cuba, there are 211 identified protected areas. Of these, four are natural reserves; the rest can be used for various types of tourism, such as national parks, ecological reserves, and wildlife refuges, among others.
Among all these parks, the journalists invited to cover the Destino Gaviota 2025 event were fortunate enough to be chosen to visit a place that impresses with its beauty, and it isn't precisely the color of the sea or the white of its sands.
It's simply green in its different shades, it's the color of nature, and there they enjoyed the Topes de Collantes Protected Natural Landscape, the Uruguayan journalist explains.
The Topes de Collantes Protected Natural Landscape is a vast protected area in Cuba, located in the central part of the island in an area known as Topes de Collantes, within the Guamuahaya or Sierra del Escambray mountain group.
This location is in the Cuban province of Sancti Spíritus, a few miles from the city of Trinidad and the Valle de los Ingenios, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1988.
He explained that for some nature lovers with sufficient knowledge of Cuban settings, the most attractive areas for adventure on the island are the Baracoa region in the east and the Escambray in the center.
The Escambray tourist complex, and the work of the Gaviota Group in that area, is shown as satisfactory. It is the Gran Parque Topes de Collantes, at 800 meters above sea level, a true natural paradise in a cozy environment, he reiterates.
He also mentioned the Jardín de los Gigantes and the Kurhotel Escambray, Villa Caburni, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Mi Retiro restaurant, where tourist groups are usually bid farewell.
In his extensive article about this place, Debali highlights the nature, adventure, and rural tourism of this country as excellent, and in particular, he celebrates what he saw in the Escambray. (PL) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
