The name of the Hostel is based on the character Caniquí of the novel of the same name by the Cuban author José Antonio Ramos. The character is embodied by a black slave who escapes several times into the forests of the Trinitarian Escambray fleeing slavery. The rebellion, the hope, the air of freedom, the attachment to their traditions and the love for the nature of Caniquí is what inspires us.
