The Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt (Alejandro de Humboldt National Park) is one of the main treasures of Cuba, located in the northeastern part of Baracoa between Holguín and Guantánamo. It owes its name to a homonymous scientist who during one of his expeditions found an idyllic place in 1800. This very find is so significant, that he is known under a pen name of “the second discoverer of Cuba”.
