Mixing unique environmental diversity with heavy historical significance, the Parque Nacional Desembarco del Granma consists of 275 sq km of teeming forests, peculiar karst topography and uplifted marine terraces. It is also a spiritual shrine to the Cuban Revolution – the spot where Castro’s stricken leisure yacht Granma limped ashore in December 1956 to be met with a barrage of gunfire from Batista’s waiting army.
