Overview
The watershed of the Toa river extends for 1061 km2, and has a half slope of 260 m. It takes up about 70% of the Cuchillas del Toa Biosphere Reserve. The area around the river is home to many species of endemic flora and fauna, including at least 1000 species of flowers and 145 species of ferns. Species in danger of extinction, such as the Cuban trogon (which is also the national bird of Cuba) and the Cuban kite, are also among the fauna of this area.
