flattened photogenic plateau El Yunke altitude 569 meters is just 7 km north-west of the city of Baracoa. The road to the plateau is replete with all kinds of interesting and unusual for a civilized man - a factory for the production of ice, mine on the development of activated carbon for indigestion Cuban stomachs and, in the sweet, chocolate factory, solemnly open Comandante Che back in 1963, for acquisition of gift sets for children of revolutionaries for the New Year on trade union lines.
Divine chocolate perfume emitted by the factory on all of the surrounding valley, is maddening.
All Baracoa scurry Cubans made from selling factories attached to a black ass in underwear chocolate, and natural hot chocolate can be tasted in cafeterias third category of 35 cents a glass, once again, for 35 cents a glass.
rammed primer led me to the office of the National Park, a few wooden bungalow where the morning suffered from lack of a handful of guides. I went to meet Chief nerdy Park, was surprised to saying that for 10 years, sees here the first Russian and offered a choice of two alternatives - an easy walk to the left for the lazy and jaded rum travel for 4 km on the plane to the cascading waterfall in the river Duaba, with a sobering dip in natural freshwater pool, or cause potovydelitelny ascent to the summit plateau of El Yunke.
«In Cuba, too good rum and seductive Muchacha ", without batting an eye blatantly lied to my eyes naturalist in fact a rare occurrence here compatriots. For
13 CUC ($ 15), we assumed a private tour escort to the top with a qualified guide, who, as promised, professionally and in detail talk about plants, animals and inhabitants of this area.
Looking into the eyes of Pedro clean, intelligent person who expressed one single thought "Slope - right hook, I realized that I know about the species of flora and fauna I have in my next life, yes it's for the best. Pedro, lived in a village nearby, in their free time and an accountant training on Section wrestling accompanied tourists on the mountain.
- But tell me, my friend Pedro as a bookkeeper accountant, whether well be an accountant in Cuba?
- Well, Massa Vova and I want to be a military accountant is even better.
- Well Duc, nachfin around the head.
ascent began with crossing the river Duaba knee-deep in water, then settled down area of \u200b\u200bprivate estates (FINCA), with the passage of travelers through which the state pays the owner a monetary bribe.
Agricultural Workers cooperative "La Dolce Vita" were walking in the shadow of kakaoshnyh trees with large baskets and idly tapped sticks on the trees, gathering fallen fruit the future of chocolate.
- «Tell me, my friend Pedro, and whether found here creeping vermin"?
- «No, Massa Vova, snakes here he has never been" reassured young naturalist, and a couple of minutes half-meter tail with express speed uskalzyval from under my feet.
arrangement of lines Cubans pohuisticheski not care, the trail was full of rocks and ledges, and the last rains in some places have turned the soil into the dirty mess that pay its share of extreme in ordinary employment. Gloomy weather did not add liveliness photos, but facilitates the process of recovery, because it was not too hot.
Active The ascent took in trained boys for about an hour, which is two times less than the set schedule. At the top of the winners met the bust of Cuban hero-liberator Antonio Maceo and a breathtaking view of the surroundings. Australia does not, of course, but cute.
walk on top of one end of the plateau to the other was not possible, is available only a small snout a few meters. Descent was even more simple than the rise and wash the sweat, jumping from upswing in the river, we returned to base.
