Overview

"BOAT RIDE IN CANÍMAR RIVER" Tour

Designated a National Monument of Cuba, the Canímar River is one of the most captivating natural and cultural treasures of the Matanzas province. Flowing from the Santa Ana region and fed by numerous tributaries, the Canímar is the province’s longest and most important river — a serene waterway steeped in history, once home to ancient aboriginal communities that flourished along its fertile banks. Located just 25 minutes from Varadero, the Canímar River Tourist Park invites visitors to immerse themselves in a lush, tropical paradise. A boat ride along the legendary river reveals stunning limestone cliffs, dense forests, and a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna — a tranquil escape into Cuba’s untamed beauty.

During the excursion, guests may also enjoy optional horseback rides, a cultural performance inspired by the aboriginal legends of the region, or a taste of authentic Cuban cuisine in a peaceful riverside setting. The Boat Ride in Canímar River offers a unique blend of nature, history, and culture, creating a memorable journey through one of Cuba’s most enchanting landscapes.
