"CUBAN  STYLE" Tour
Overview

"CUBAN STYLE" Tour

We offer a diverse selection for panoramic tours of the most significant sites in Cuban history, culture and contemporary life. So this is a treat for those seeking some vacation adventures on their Cuba holiday tour.

Holguín is currently one of the richest settings of Cuban nature. High mountain ranges, fertile plains and fine sandy beaches alternate in the landscape of this province of singular beauty and multiple attractions. It was in this area of Cuba (Bariay) where Admiral Christopher Columbus landed in 1492. Holguín's beaches are among the most beautiful in the Caribbean, for their warm and calm waters of a very particular turquoise blue, for the natural protection offered by the coral formations and the fine sand that they have throughout their entire length. They are surrounded by dense vegetation, whose intense green color creates a fabulous contrast with the golden white tone of the sand and sea.

Welcome to Holguín: “The most beautiful land that human eyes have seen”

Venture along the magical path of the Las Guanas eco-archeological trail and enjoy its extraordinary landscape. The Las Guanas Eco-Archaeological Trail is part of the protected area of Naranjo Bay, north of the province of Holguin, with a wide variety of flora and fauna endemic to the region along its 1060 meters. One of the major attractions is the presence of the regional endemic Guana tree populations and Aguacate cimarron cacti, some of which are hundreds of years old. In addition, the trail passes through two different types of vegetation with a total of 127 plant species, including 14 endemic species. The terrestrial fauna is also diverse and includes a variety of mollusks, including the famous polymita. A unique feature of this coastal zone is that it is part of the Oriente hybrid belt, which has a relative abundance of hybrid species and is one of the few in the world. In addition, the area protects a geographic feature unique to this stretch of coastline: a cliff that has up to four "tidal niches" or flaps, carved out of the rock by the action of seawater. The main objective of the Las Guanas Eco-Archeological Trail is to conserve the coastal ecosystem and market the area's valuable tourism product on the basis of conservation. At the viewpoint, one of the points along the trail, you can see the entire Esmeralda Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Guardalavaca.
