Tourist Places

When you arrive at the town you'll notice many tourist places:

*SALTO BLANCO: You should definitely visit it. It's a big waterfall about 356 m high. In it there is a phenomenon called The ANTELIA; this is when you make a lot noise the clouds go down, if in this moment the sun is strong and you stay there with other persons, each person only can see your shadow in a rainbow.












*TIERRA DE COLORES: It's a natural place with small mountains in different colours; it's produced by erosion. Personally, I'd think it's very strange.










*GUANES TUMBS: They're near the SALTO BLANCO. It has many archaelogical Guanes treasures.














* INDIAN CAVE: It's in the border with San Vicente and Zapatoca. It's a labyrinth and it isn't discovered enough. Personally, I wouldn't believe that it's a safe place because you can lost.


* THE QUEEN CAVE: It's formed by pieces of rock. It's a labyrinth with many underground rooms; in it, Guanes kept a big part of yours treasures. I wouldn't recommend because this place can collapse suddenly.






* THE CUNERA: It's a stream with a natural water shute. it's on the way to relax but it's too far.











* NATURALIA HOUSE: It's a old, big and historical house. It was built in 1856 with big corridors and balconies. It has many kinds of flowers and plants, it's like a museum. Naturalia is really worth seeing.
