Campismo Planta Cantú

A Cubamar campismo that welcomes non-Cubans, Planta Cantú is a little off the beaten track, so you'll need a car to get to this place near Banao. The cute cabins below the foothills sleep four and are especially good value for groups as you pay one price for the whole unit. Horses can be hired (around 3 per hour). The real draw here, though, is the revitalizing waterfalls of the crystal-clear Río Cayajaná.

To reach them, take the left fork before the campismo entrance and go until the road ends (about 1km). A worn path leads to the falls and swimming holes. There is a good, level camping spot here. To get to the campismo, go 16km southwest of Sancti Spíritus on the road to Trinidad, turn inland at the sign and go 6km further.
