I wish Diego and Carlos from Welcome to Eden would confirm their relationship, like Toni and Santi from ATAV2 have. I wonder why they won't. To be fair I'm not sure they are still dating, but I'm positive they did at one point. I mean... I have photo proof ffs. I also suspect they still are, since they keep leaving cute comments on each other's posts, but they haven't really posted stories together lately, which they used to do. That's why I'm kinda confused.

Les barreres al cinema limiten l'accés de cecs i sords, des del set de rodatge fins a la sala de cinema

Sara Castro / elpais.com Inma Flores / elpais.com El cinema espanyol va portar a la cartellera 705 pel·lícules en 2022, segons l’Estadística de Cinematografia, publicada aquest estiu pel Ministeri de Cultura i Esport. La ficció és una recurrent vàlvula d’escapament, però potser no és per a tothom igual, perquè el Centre Espanyol de Subtitulat i Audiodescripció (CESyA) només va registrar l’any…

Cuba’s Best Mountain Escapes: Where Nature Meets Adventure

Cuba is often celebrated for its white sandy beaches, vibrant cities, and rich cultural heritage. However, beyond its famous coastline and colonial architecture, Cuba boasts breathtaking mountain landscapes that offer outdoor enthusiasts an entirely different adventure. From the lush greenery of Sierra Maestra to the unique limestone mogotes of Viñales, the island’s mountains provide the perfect setting for hiking, wildlife spotting, and exploring nature’s wonders.

1. The Sierra Maestra Mountains: A Revolutionary Retreat

Explore Cuba’s Highest Peak: Pico Turquino

The Sierra Maestra mountain range, located in southeastern Cuba, is home to Pico Turquino, the country’s highest peak at 1,974 meters (6,476 feet). This region is not only a haven for nature lovers but also a place of historical significance. The mountains served as a hideout for Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries during the Cuban Revolution, making it an essential stop for history buffs.

Hiking Pico Turquino National Park is a challenging but rewarding experience, offering breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and lush forests filled with endemic wildlife. The two-day trek to the summit is best done with a guide, as trails can be demanding.

How to Get There

The closest city is Santiago de Cuba, from where you can drive to the park’s entrance. For flexibility and ease of travel, consider rental cars in Cuba to explore the area at your own pace.

2. The Escambray Mountains: A Nature Lover’s Paradise

Discover the Beauty of Topes de Collantes

The Escambray Mountains, located in central Cuba, are a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Topes de Collantes, a nature reserve within the range, is a haven for hikers and eco-tourists. This region is known for its dense rainforests, stunning waterfalls, and rich biodiversity.

Some of the best hikes in Topes de Collantes include:

Salto del Caburní — A scenic trail leading to a spectacular 62-meter waterfall.

Vegas Grandes — A more challenging hike that rewards visitors with a secluded waterfall and natural pools.

La Batata — A cave system with underground rivers, perfect for adventurers.

How to Get There

The nearest city is Trinidad, a UNESCO-listed colonial town. Many visitors rent cars to drive through the scenic mountain roads leading to the reserve.

3. Viñales Valley: Where Mountains and Mogotes Meet

The Unique Limestone Mogotes of Viñales

Unlike the other mountain ranges in Cuba, Viñales Valley is famous for its mogotes — large limestone formations that create a dramatic landscape. Located in Pinar del Río, this region is ideal for hiking, rock climbing, and horseback riding.

Top activities in Viñales include:

Exploring the Cueva del Indio, a massive cave system with an underground river.

Hiking or biking through tobacco fields, where some of the world’s best cigars are produced.

Climbing to the top of Los Acuáticos, a small mountain village with panoramic views of the valley.

How to Get There

Viñales is about a 2.5-hour drive from Havana. While buses are available, having your own vehicle allows you to explore the valley at your leisure. Consider using rental cars for a convenient and scenic road trip.

4. Sierra del Rosario: A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Explore Soroa and Las Terrazas

Located in western Cuba, Sierra del Rosario is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its lush forests, waterfalls, and eco-tourism projects. Two must-visit spots in the region include:

Soroa Waterfall — A picturesque cascade surrounded by tropical vegetation.

Las Terrazas — A sustainable community with hiking trails, birdwatching, and a zip-line adventure park.

This area is perfect for travelers looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure, as it offers everything from spa treatments to extreme sports.

How to Get There

Sierra del Rosario is located about 1.5 hours from Havana, making it an ideal day trip or weekend getaway. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore multiple sites in the region.

5. The Cuchillas del Toa: Cuba’s Rainforest Wonderland

Hiking in Alejandro de Humboldt National Park

The Cuchillas del Toa mountain range, located in eastern Cuba, is home to Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, one of the most biodiverse areas in the Caribbean. This park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features dense rainforests, rare wildlife, and pristine rivers.

Visitors can hike through the park to discover:

El Copal Trail, which showcases rare plants and waterfalls.

Taco Bay, where you can take a boat ride through a mangrove forest.

Birdwatching opportunities, including spotting the endangered Cuban Trogon.

How to Get There

The nearest major city is Baracoa, known for its chocolate plantations and scenic coastal views. The drive from Santiago de Cuba takes about 5 hours, so renting a car is highly recommended for flexibility.

Why Rent a Car for Your Cuban Mountain Adventure?

While buses and taxis are available in Cuba, renting a car offers a more comfortable and flexible way to explore remote mountain regions. Here’s why:

Freedom to explore — Travel at your own pace without relying on public transport schedules.

Access to remote areas — Many mountain destinations in Cuba have limited bus services.

Scenic road trips — Driving through Cuba’s mountainous landscapes is an adventure in itself.

For a hassle-free experience, check out rental cars in Cuba to find the best options for your trip.

Final Thoughts

Cuba’s mountain escapes offer breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and unique cultural experiences. Whether you’re conquering Pico Turquino, hiking through Topes de Collantes, or marveling at the Viñales mogotes, the island’s mountains provide the perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty.

For the best experience, plan ahead, choose the right trails, and consider renting a car to make the most of your journey. Cuba’s mountains are waiting — get ready to explore!

By • Olalekan Fagbade One officer killed as Boko Haram insurgents attack Customs office Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly attacked an office of the Nigeria Customs Service in Geidam town, Geidam LGA, Yobe State, killing one operative, Usman Gombe. According to a report, the insurgents stormed the Customs office along Maine Soroa Road in a Volkswagen Golf and a Land Rover around 10:00 pm on Saturday and started shooting. “They struck when they were sure the Customs officers had retired home. Panicked by the rain of bullets, the officers scampered for safety; some escaped through the gate, while others scaled the fence. “Unfortunately, one of the officers, Usman Gombe, was shot dead while attempting to climb the fence,” a security source told Daily Trust. He said the assailants also burnt down the Customs patrol van, a generator, and part of the office building. “This is the second time the Boko Haram insurgents are killing Customs officers. Last month, an officer, Babalola, and his junior officer were abducted and later killed by the insurgents,” the source said. Residents of the town disclosed that the activities of Boko Haram insurgents on the outskirts of Geidam had increased in recent times. “They collect taxes from farmers and herdsmen a few kilometres from the town, and nobody is doing anything. “Instead, the security operatives have relocated over 17 checkpoints into the town where they also taxed traders that brought goods through the same route. We are in difficult condition in this town,” one of the traders alleged. #OfficerkilledasBokoHaraminsurgentsattackCustomsoffice

Cuba

There are many resorts to stay in Cuba, some are pretty affordable. I think it would also be really cool to explore Salto de Soroa Park, which is a famous popular tourist spot. It has a very nice waterfall. There are a lot of good restaurants in Cuba. I would really like to go to Playa Paraiso, which is a really beautiful beach with very clear blue water. There are a lot of Starfish and Shellfish which would be really cool to see. I would also want to go to Havana which is pretty cool. It has a combination of new and old buildings.

Carlos Soroa: "Em deien que era una bogeria voler ser actor sent sord"

Text: Merche Borja / 20minutos.es / Foto: Javier Mantrana del Valle / 20minutos.es Carlos Soroa va néixer sord, igual que altres membres de la seva família, i el seu idioma és la llengua de signes espanyola. Això li va permetre créixer i desenvolupar-se en un entorn normalitzat i tenir els mateixos somnis que els nens de la seva edat.. (20minutos.es)
