Tags: Mountain Range.
Sierra Maestra is a mountain range that runs westward across the south of the old Oriente Province from what is now Guantánamo Province to Niquero in southeast Cuba rising abruptly from the coast. Some view it as a series of connecting ranges (Vela Santa Catalina Quemado Grande Daña Mariana) which joins with others extending to the west. The Sierra Maestra is the highest system of Cuba. It is rich in minerals especially copper manganese chromium and iron.
