In Ciénaga de Zapata, visitors can explore a variety of habitats that harbor a rich flora and fauna. Among its main attractions are inland lagoons such as Laguna del Tesoro and Laguna del Leche, home to aquatic birds and endemic species such as the zunzuncito (hummingbird bee), a symbol of Cuba.

The Cueva de los Peces is a natural site located on the Zapata Peninsula in Cuba.

Inside the cave, you can observe impressive rock formations and a diversity of marine life, including tropical fish that have adapted their habitat to this dark, underwater environment. It is a popular spot for divers and snorkelers looking to explore the crystal clear waters and discover the natural beauty beneath the surface.
