El Nicho National Park, Cuba

Nestled in the Escambray Mountains, not too far from Cienfeugos, is the El Nicho National Park.  Apart from the stunning jungle scenery and lush mountain ridges, this place is famous (and named after) the El Nicho waterfall, perhaps Cub’s most perfect cascade. 

This is one of Cuba’s hidden gems and a perfect place to cool off after a long jungle hike, enjoying the crystal clear water and the chirping of tropical birds in the trees.
