Sierra Maestra, Cuba 2

Sierra Maestra Cuba 2010
Sierra Maestra is a mountain range that runs westward across the south of the old Oriente Province from what is now Guantánamo Province to Niquero in southeast Cuba, rising abruptly from the coast. Some view it as a series of connecting ranges (Vela, Santa Catalina, Quemado Grande, Daña Mariana), which joins with others extending to the west.The Sierra Maestra is the highest system of Cuba. It is rich in minerals, especially copper, manganese, chromium, and iron. At 1,974 m (6,476 ft), Pico Turquino is the range's highest point.

Summit Pico Turquino, Cuba, Episode 155

Finally we get to go after the summit of Pico Turqqino, the highest mountain in Cuba. Located in NP Turquino, which is located within Sierra Maestra National Park. Yes a park within a park. The mountain is located in southeast Cuba and the trailhead was a bit of work to reach. The trek takes 2 days and must be done as a package with a government guide. We signed on at an InfoTur office a few weeks in advance. The price is fixed as are the package details. Think in terms of poor food and accommodation. This is two days of ruffing it in a jungle while steadily gaining altitude to reach a summit that needs some redesign. Check out the summit views in the video.

155 Summit Picco Turquino Video Details

In this video we visit the summit of Picco Turquino, the highest mountain in Cuba. Our objective is the summit. It is located in the NP Turquino.

From the park entrance we got a ride to the trailhead. The trek must be done with a government guide as part of a package. We signed onto our package at an InfoTur office. The price is fixed per person by the government.

The trail was well marked. There are a number of different trails in the park. Our first day’s objective was a forest camp 8 km from the trailhead.

The park is a tropical jungle so even in January it is hot and sweaty. Our route was mostly up hill with a steady increase in altitude.

Basecamp was very primitive, with uncomfortable bunks, no mosquito nets, bad food and limited fresh water even though it rains often. I won’t even discuss the toilet facilities.

After a poor night’s sleep and a bad breakfast, Cristina was not feeling very strong so at the 10km mark Cristina was very tired.

The summit was reached at long last.

Now for a 12 km return. Ouch.

Into the Heart of Boma

Two Canadians (Colin McMechan and Catherine Hawkins) are warmly welcomed by primary students and staff in the campesino village of Boma, about 12 km east of Baracoa, Cuba. The video and still images were captured on my Canon Vixia HF S10, mostly by the students themselves. I wish I had had a second camera to catch them having fun being the camera crew!

Our visit took place on January 10, 2011, and we spent many hours getting there and back to Baracoa by water taxi and on foot. This day was one of the many highlights during our recent two-week visit to this most unique and beautiful region of Cuba.
