Values of the area where the ¨Sendero Enigma de La Roca¨ is located

The area is part of the largest karst drainage system in the country: the Cuenca de Zapata or Cuenca Sur of Matanzas province, whose catchment area occupies mainly the southern slope of the province and the southwestern end of Cienfuegos. As a result of the karst processes of sinking blocks and collapse of the zenithal part of the dolines, segments of different forest formations appear associated (mangrove, marsh grass, semi-deciduous forests, coastal xeromorphic scrub, rocky and sandy coastal vegetation complexes), which generate a great variety of habitats and ecosystems in specific geographical areas. In the flooded caves, there are specimens of blind fish of the genus Lucifuga (L. dentata and L. nova) of great ecological importance and significance for the conservation of Cuban phreatic and cave ecosystems The area is of great historical and social importance, due to the war events that occurred in the area in April 1961 and for having more than 10 archaeological sites inside.
