El Cubano Park

Sancti Spíritus City - Sancti Spíritus City Attractions

Another site that draws numerous visitors is the El Cubano Nature Park, standing more than 250 m above sea level. Its 2 km² abut the banks of the Guaurabo River, the same spot where Spanish conquistador Diego Velazquez founded the Village of Trinidad, and the same point where Hernan Cortez sailed off to the conquest of Mexico.

The Huellas de la Historia and Cimarrones de Javira trails provide ample knowledge about the history and traditions of local Cuban peasants, let alone give a well-documented glimpse at the life led by African slaves at the former Ingenito, one of the first sugar mills ever built in Trinidad.
