Mayari Attractions
The town of Mayari is one of the oldest cities in the province and was founded at the same time as Gibara. There is not much here to draw visitors and consequently most people pass through Mayari without much more than a glance. The town has a pleasant Colonial center but it is small. In the vicinity is the Farallones de Seboruco, a cave that revealed finds from the Tiano people, when it was explored in 1945.
Also nearby is the Jardin de Pinare National Park, with walking trails through the forest covered hills. This natural area also contains Cuba's highest waterfalls, Salto de Guayabo, at 85m / 278ft.
On a historic note, Fidel Castro was born in the town of Biran, southwest of Mayari, where the old family home still exists.
