Salto Fino, 305-meter waterfall in Baracoa, Cuba.

The waterfall consists of multiple cascades dropping through steep inclines, forming part of the Arroyo del Infierno stream in northeastern Guantanamo.

Dr. Núñez Jiménez documented the waterfall in 1966 through vertical photographs taken from a helicopter during initial exploration missions.

The waterfall forms an integral part of the Quiviján-Duaba-Yunque de Baracoa Ecological Reserve, which maintains the natural heritage of the region.

Reaching Salto Fino requires transportation from Havana to Guantanamo by train, followed by a local vehicle to access the hiking trails.

The water originates at 600 meters elevation and flows through eight primary cascades before joining twenty smaller drops along the Quibiján River.

Visit Cuba: nature, history, and colonial heritage

Cuba combines colonial architecture, tropical landscapes and centuries-old fortifications. From the tobacco fields of Viñales Valley to the colonial towns of Trinidad and Havana, and the waterfalls of Soroa, the island displays its history and natural diversity. The Spanish colonial period left behind fortresses, palaces and cobblestone streets in historic centers. National parks protect karst formations, rainforests and coastal areas. Along the coast lie beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs. The route passes through different regions of the island, from the mountains of Sierra Maestra to the cayos off the northern coast. Each location shows a different aspect of Cuban culture and nature, whether in the streets of Santiago de Cuba or in the caves of Bellamar.
