I wasn't expecting much from this visit as I wondered how much could grow at such a height up - but how wrong I was! It is a truly magnificent place with an abundance of ferns and orchids to see, all beautifully laid out and cared for. The views of the surrounding mountains were also breathtaking and the whole experience was further enhanced by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable English speaking guy. One of my favourite days in my 2wks in Cuba. I wondered when I got back why so few people seem to have been here as it should be a top attraction...but then I remembered it is quite a bit out and involves a very bumpy ride in a 4x4 to get there. Well worth it though if you can do it.

The visit to La Comandancia was great. the guide was had lots of stories and information to give and answered all the questions we asked. We must thank Anley Rosales from Bayamo Travel Agent for all the efforts they did. We loved the stop at the coffee farm where we made coffee ourselves intead of paying for it. The view from there is mazing, I highly reccomend it. Miguel de farmer is a great person

Come here to see how Cuba was about fifty years ago! Veranda-houses, few restaurants and a lot of flowers! You have to take the ferry from the mainland.
