Spectacular landscapes and revolutionary traces
The Desembarco del Granma National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, is world-famous for its marine terrace system, the largest and best preserved in Cuba. These impressive terraces were formed by tectonic uplift and marine erosion over millions of years and extend both above and below the water. Striking rock steps rise up to 360 metres out of the water and offer spectacular views as well as a habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. In addition to geological highlights, the park is of historical significance as it marks the landing site of the yacht Granma, which heralded the beginning of the Cuban revolution.

History of the place and interesting facts
The Desembarco del Granma National Park carries a deep historical significance, as it was named after the landing of the yacht Granma in 1956. This landing marked the beginning of the Cuban revolutionary struggle, when Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and their comrades-in-arms disembarked here on the south-east coast of Cuba. The park not only preserves the memories of this decisive moment in history, but also combines them with an extraordinary natural setting that is recognised worldwide for its geological and ecological importance.read more about the history of Cuba.
