In the middle of the extensive plain that characterizes the north of Las Tunas, rises one of the most distinctive geographical features of the eastern province; of great popularity among locals and visitors for its authentic figure, the Cerro de Caisimú is a contrast to the typical relief of these lands.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Located in the municipality of Manatí, about 20 kilometers from the city of Las Tunas, the elevation is 250 meters above sea level. Its name is owed to an Aborigine who lived there.

With fertile soils and a rich diversity of flora and fauna, the hill is identified by a natural landscape, enhanced by the green views of the sugar cane fields in the surrounding plains.

On the hill is located one of the most beautiful bases for popular camping in Las Tunas, with a swimming pool and a whole infrastructure that determines one of the fundamental aspects of tourism development in the municipality and, therefore, of its economy.

Although compared to other prominences of the Cuban geography, the Cerro is small, its beauty imbues it with a certain notoriety, with details that also include historical elements that took place on the iconic hill.

It was there where Major General Vicente García met with Colonel Francisco Varona to discuss the attack on the Fort of La Loma, Puerto Padre, in 1877. A century later, in 1978, Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro arrived as part of a check-up on the area's agricultural potential.

Several legends and myths add references of the real and marvelous to the Cerro de Caisimú, rich stories of what it was and is from the popular culture of the communities that surround it. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most sublime natural spots of Las Tunas.
