Bacunayagua

Bacunayagua is a Cuban village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. voting district) of the municipality of Santa Cruz del Norte, in Mayabeque Province.

The small northern Cuban settlement was established on the side of the important Vía Blanca (road), where a deep canyon cuts the coastal hills between the Yumuri Valley and the Straits of Florida coast.

The Bridge of Bacunayagua, inaugurated in September 1959, crosses the canyon, and at 110 metres (360 ft) above the valley floor is the highest bridge in Cuba.

It was designed by Luis Sáenz Duplace and built under the leadership of Civil Engineer Manuel (Manolo) Arvesu.
