Directions
The area is east of Santiago du Cuba in the Baconao Biosphere Reserve. To reach the park from the Sanitago airport, follow the road “Circunvalacion” and turn right on “Carratera de Siboney”. The town of Las Guasimas is on the left side of the road about 15 Km from the airport. The area is just outside the town.
From Las Guasimas take the road signposted to La Gran Piedra and after 200 m you will find the contemplative park "Prado de las Esculturas" on the left. Walk down the the road going through the park and you will see the majority of the boulders. More boulders can also be found on private land around the park. About one kilometer south from La Gran Piedra intersection, turn left onto a small dirt road. About 200 m down the road there will be a small hill on the left side with several large boulders. On the right side of the road there are a few houses that make up the village. Beyond the house there are another 4 large boulders. Always ask for permission before going on some one's land. There are many more boulders on the large farm opposite of the Park. These boulders have yet to be explored.
