Unquestionably,
this is one of the
parts of Cuba that
is best known
internationally. In
the late 1900s,
UNESCO declared it
to be a part of
world cultural
heritage. The valley
is also a national
monument. Its beauty
and size, 132 square
km (51 square miles)
make it the most
outstanding example
of karst valleys in
Cuba. This fertile
area is surrounded
by hills with
vertical sides and
rounded tops, called
mogotes (pin-cushion
hills). |
