Contexto geográfico


Está situado en el centro de la Sierra Maestra, la mayor cordillera de Cuba. La montaña se alza sobre un escenario de 17.540 hectáreas de ríos, bosques, valles y cumbres.
Hay dos accesos típicos para escalarlo, uno desde territorio de la provincia de Santiago de Cuba y otro, más suave, desde la provincia de Granma.



Historia


Los primeros registros de visitas a su cumbre se remontan a 1915 por botánico sueco Erik Leonard Ekman,[2]​ como curiosidad, aparece como "Tarquino" en un mapa elaborado por el geógrafo flamenco Gerardo Kramer a finales del siglo XVI. La zona, en la época de la conquista española estaba dominada por un cacique taíno llamado Tarquino o Turquino. Según se cree, el nombre proviene de las palabras aborígenes turey y quino. La primera de ellas era utilizada para designar al cielo y la segunda se utilizaba para denominar a una persona o cosa importante o elevada. Por lo que se cree que Turquino quiere decir "Montaña del Cielo" o "Elevación del Cielo".[3]​


En lo alto se encuentra un busto de José Martí que colocó, en el año del centenario de su nacimiento (1953), Celia Sánchez Manduley acompañada de su padre. El busto es obra de la escultora Jilma Madera y en la base del monumento aparece la frase: "Escasos como los montes son los hombres que saben mirar desde ellos y sienten con entrañas de nación o de humanidad".
