Lonely Planet review for Reserva Ecológica Varahicacos
The Reserva Ecológica Varahicacos is Varadero’s nominal green space and a wildlife reserve that’s about as ‘wild’ as New York’s Central Park. Bulldozers have been chomping away at its edges for years. There are three short trails (CUC$3, 45 minutes each), none of which are ever out of earshot of the noisy Autopista. The highlight is the Cueva de Musalmanes with 2500-year-old human remains and a giant cactus tree nicknamed El Patriarca (patriarch).
