Río Pan de Azúcar

Río Pan de Azúcar
From: Balado Piedra, 2001

The Pan de Azúcar River is located in the province of Pinar del Río, Western Cuba. It ends its journey in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is also known as the Cimarrones River and it is associated with the Pan de Azúcar cave system located in the Sierra de los Organos. In 1980, the cave Cueva Grande de Pan de Azúcar was discovered, an active cave and underground riverbed for the Cimarrones River.
