Casa ParticularToday you can spend the day relaxing on the Caribbean coast. If you're enthusiastic about nature then we recommend going hiking in one of the nearby national parks. There are many beautiful plants and animals, particularly birds, to see here. History buffs will also be interested in the Museum of the Revolution, which is located in Playa Giron just 30 km away. Playa Larga is also an ideal destination for divers because you can begin your dives from the coast!

Today you'll follow the panoramic coast road to the colonial town of Cienfuegos. This town is less touristy than Trinidad and Havana. Take a walk to the city center, visit the Parque Martí or take an excursion to the Playa Luna. You can also visit the biggest botanical garden in Cuba.
