Puente de Bacunayagua is Cuba's highest bridge, serving as a popular scenic stop offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Yumuri Valley and the Atlantic Ocean. It is easily accessible by road, often frequented by travelers journeying between Havana and Varadero, and can be visited both independently by car or as part of organized guided tours. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, though the dry season (December-May) offers the most consistently pleasant weather. Visiting the viewpoint is generally free, with typical stops lasting 15-30 minutes to take photos and perhaps enjoy a famous piña colada at the adjacent mirador, which incurs a small cost for drinks. This iconic landmark provides excellent photo opportunities and a memorable break from travel.
