Mon.Access occurred in the municipality of Bahía Honda, at 22 ° 49 '35 "North Latitude and 83 ° 15' 25" West Logitude, Artemisa province. National Monument. Type: Historic site. This battle was an Antonio Maceo’s portentous feat. It constitutes one of the most glorious deeds in Cuba's military history in its struggles for national liberation. It surpassed the national sphere, creating a situation of unease in thecolonial administration. It seriously questioned the Weylerian assertion that Cacarajícara was a Hispanic triumph, when in reality, the most immediate purpose was not achieved, which was to evict Antonio Maceo from the region. The Cuban triumph in this battle demonstrated the combative capacity and the   consecration of those who, moved by the sublime ideal of independence, were able to erase any difference.

Of great scientific importance this plant can only be found in the province of Pinar del Río and Artemisa. This species has an aspect of a curved palm with a rough and ringed stem. Sometimes the stem has branches that end in a crown of leaves, its trunk has a smooth constitution, with some resemblance to cork. The plant has a high ecological amplitude, because it has managed to survive and adapt to the extreme ecological changes produced by the diverse and intense geological phenomena that have occurred on a planetary scale in such an extended period of time, many authors have described it as a living fossil.
