Casa Prima, PUERTO ESPERANZA

Located 6 km from San Cayetano and only 25 km north of the town of Viñales is the fishing village of Puerto Esperanza, a quiet and almost unknown area for tourists visiting western Cuba, where it's inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing, agriculture and tobacco production. In this locality, time passes almost stopped in time as in the 50's of the last century. The town of Puerto Esperanza is a place where you can feel free to explore it's buildings and local customs that seem to be frozen in time. The landscape is adorned by mango plantations that, according to the locals, were first cultivated by slaves in the first decade of the 1800s. In every corner of Puerto Esperanza you can breathe the seafaring atmosphere and enjoy the best Cuban music in this town. In the community there is a cultural project, La Camorra, which encompasses various activities. Among all of them, it could be very instructive to enjoy a session of the traditional peasant and Creole music group Los Tiburoneros, formed by members of the locality. The music brings together many of the most representative aspects of Puerto Esperanza's culture and will allow you to connect more deeply with it. In Puerto Esperanza you can stroll through its harbor and take a boat ride from the long boardwalk of the bay to the warm waters of the Caribbean.

Casa Prima is located in a natural environment, in a quiet place in the green west of Cuba that invites you to linger. How do you think a mango or an avocado is harvested? How does fresh tamarind taste or what is the difference between coconut water and coconut milk? This is part of daily life on the farm and, as a guest, you can always help out in the garden or in the kitchen. Or just let yourself be pampered and use the time for your own observations.
