Baconao
Baconao National Park – is a unique area located near the province of Santiago de Cuba in Cuba itself. The territory of the park can be seen in one day if you use a car. A feature of the Baconao Park is the famous valley, where sculptures of prehistoric animals, as well as the oldest people, take place.
The name of the park is often associated with the name of the aborigine, which belonged to the pre-Hispanic tribes and lived in the area. This young man bewitched a tree called « bacon », which made it possible to play music on shells.
All traditions of the area originate from the time of the discovery of Cuba.
