Tourist Sites

In this blog we will look at only two of the many tourist sites of Iquira:

The Loma de la Cruz:


It is a tourist and religious site, located fifteen minutes from the top of the town, where there is an image of our patron San Francisco de Asis, this site is visited by his devotees and those who for sport perform their walks and also for its spectacular panoramic view towards the town and its surroundings. The busiest days are for the days of Easter and the festivities in honor of San Francisco de Asis.

The Cuevas del Chaparro:

They are located in the village of El Chaparro, two hours from the urban area of Iquira.

Chaparro Cave is a natural cavity in the ground caused by the action of water and tributaries along the centuries worth knowing his remarkable canyons and mazes. It is exotic and blanket much flora and fauna in its cavities, these caves are moist and dark; its diameter is very variable because in some parts only fits one person, ubucadas are in the path the two approximate Chaparro urban area of Iquira municpio.

It is certainly a very exotic tourist place that can not be djar visit if is at the municpio of Iquira.
