CASA PARTICULAR ULICE y ESPERANZA
« "In March 2008, I spent a wonderful week in Santo Domingo in the Sierra Maestra and made two guided walks (The Comandancia and Pico Turquino) organized by the Park Service - located at the end of the main road to the left of the barrier.
« Before and between trips, I stayed in the Casa Esperanza operated by an extremely friendly and nice couple : Ulice and spouse Esperanza. The exact location of the house can be obtained from Villa Santo Domingo. The room cost 20cuc. This casa particular is very clean and very quiet and can be found on the other side of the river in a wonderful garden. I felt totally comfortable.
« Ulice blessed me with freshly squeezed juices, fresh vegetables and other delights from the garden of Esperanza. Ulice speaks some English. Breakfasts and dinners were always delicious and plentiful. The couple lives as on a farm with pigs, chickens, cats and a dog. Directly from the property there is a staircase leading to the river with shade under the trees.
« Simply perfect for relaxing and a lot nicer than the bungalows at Villa Santo Domingo. Housing is really recommended. During my two-day hike, I could leave my excess baggage.
« I arrived from Bayamo by truck for only 6 pesos in moneda nacional to Yara. From there I took a taxi to Bartolome Maso. From the hotel with its views and pool, I got a ride on a jeep was set for me for 12cuc. Unfortunately I could not take pictures. » Morayn 280408 Stefan Loose
