About Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes

Anti-Batista rebels hid in the Escambray mountains during the revolution. After the revolution (1961-1969) CIA-sponsored anti-Castro rebels (bandidos) hid in the same mountains. The Museo de la Lucha Contra Los Bandidos, a museum inTrinidad, documents the latter fight. The national park has jungle-covered limestone mountains (mogotes) with waterfalls and caves. The highest mountain is Pico de San Juan, at 1,150 m. You can not hike to the summit, as the mountain is in a military zone.
