Cuba’s National Park system protects many of the island’s most important landscapes and ecosystems, from limestone mountains and tropical forests to coral reefs and wetlands. These parks are part of Cuba’s National System of Protected Areas, which preserves biodiversity and safeguards habitats for many endemic plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. Some of the most notable parks include Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its exceptional biodiversity, Desembarco del Granma National Park with its dramatic coastal terraces, and Viñales National Park, famous for its distinctive limestone mogotes. Together, Cuba’s national parks protect large portions of the island’s natural heritage while supporting scientific research, conservation, and nature-based tourism.
