On April 17th, 2018, a group of young explorers journeyed through the Sierra del Rosario mountain range in Western Cuba on a mission of science and discovery, as they celebrated the legacy of legendary Cuban geographer Antonio Núñez Jiménez. This youth expedition was aimed at fostering in young people the spirit of old explorers by practicing their approach, commitment, and respect for nature, while also teaching about cultural diversity, ecological values, and universal humanism.

Under the motto of “Explore, Discover, Share: Towards a Culture of Nature,” the expedition explored Sierra del Rosario in the space between the canyons of the Santa Cruz and Tacotaco rivers. Divided into four groups, the team members meticulously surveyed the region, covering four kilometers. They were able to observe and update the registry of karst formations, a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone. In addition, new archaeological and heritage sites were identified, as well as new trails through the region.

At the conclusion of the group’s expedition on April 20th, 2018, a workshop was held at Ranchón del Campismo Garden of Aspiro, in the Municipality of San Cristóbal to share and discuss what was learned, and also to commemorate what would have been the 95th birthday of geographer Antonio Núñez Jiménez. The workshop brought together the young explorers, members of the Aspiro community, academics, scientists, researchers, the local and national press media for a series of discussions and workshops covering a range of topics. Sustainable agriculture, climate change, environmental education, and conservation were among the many issues discussed. The expedition finished with the planting of a tree and the unveiling of a special tarja, or ancient tally stick, commemorating the life of Antonio Núñez Jiménez.
