EL NICHO NATURAL PARK:

El Nicho Natural Park – A Hidden Paradise in Cuba. Tucked away in the heart of the Sierra del Escambray, in the province of Cienfuegos, lies one of Cuba’s most enchanting natural treasures: El Nicho Natural Park. Covering an area of 60 km², this ecological sanctuary forms part of the Topes de Collantes Natural Park and the Fauna Refuge Laguna de Guanaroca–Yaguanabo–El Nicho, making it an area of great environmental and scenic importance. The park is world-renowned for its lush vegetation, pristine rivers, and breathtaking waterfalls. With more than 65 endemic plant species, El Nicho offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in a landscape that is as biologically diverse as it is visually stunning. Its mountain setting, only 30 km from Topes de Collantes and just 2 km from Lake Hanabanilla, creates a natural corridor of unrivaled beauty.

What makes El Nicho truly unforgettable are its dozens of cascading waterfalls and natural crystal-clear pools, hidden deep within the mountains. The cool, transparent waters invite travelers to swim, relax, and connect with nature in a setting that feels untouched by time. But El Nicho is more than just a natural site—it is a paradise for ecotourism lovers. Winding mountain roads lead through small rural villages, where visitors can witness the authentic rhythms of Cuban countryside life, perfectly blending with the park’s wild beauty. El Nicho is a place where emerald forests, flowing rivers, and picturesque mountain communities come together to create one of Cuba’s most magical and unforgettable destinations.
