Lomas de Banao, Protected natural reserve in Sancti Spíritus Province, Cuba
The reserve spans over 6,091 hectares within the Guamuhaya massif, featuring hills, valleys, and geological formations that rise up to 842 meters at Las Tetas de Juana.
Established in 2010, Lomas de Banao earned recognition as a Category II national park and received the first regional Environmental Award that same year.
