Sierra Maestra

The Sierra Maestra is a mountain range located in southeastern Cuba, notable for its rugged terrain and dense forests. Historically, it became famous as the stronghold of Fidel Castro and his revolutionary forces in the 1950s, who used it as a base to organize their campaign against the Cuban government. Its difficult landscape helped protect the rebels from government attacks, making it a key strategic area during Cuba’s revolutionary struggle. Today, Sierra Maestra is a protected natural park, admired for its biodiversity and scenic beauty, attracting visitors interested in its history and natural environment.
