Description
Pan de Guajaibón is a summit in the Guaniguanico mountain range with two distinct peaks and steep limestone cliffs rising to 699 meters. The elevation offers wide views across Pinar del Río province and the surrounding landscape.
History
The mountain held strategic importance during Cuba's independence wars, and a bust of Antonio Maceo Grajales was placed at its summit in 2006. This monument honors the historical struggles that shaped the nation.
Culture
