Summit Pico Turquino, Cuba, Episode 155

Finally we get go after the summit of Pico Turqqino, the highest mountain in Cuba. Located in NP Turquino, which is located within Sierra Maestra National Park. Yes a park within a park. The mountain is located in southeast Cuba and the trailhead was a bit of work to reach. The trek takes 2 days and must be done as a package with a government guide. We signed on at an InfoTur office a few weeks in advance. The price is fixed as are the package details. Think in terms of poor food and accommodation. This is two days of ruffing it in a jungle while steadily gaining altitude to reach a summit that needs some redesign. Check out the summit views in the video.
