ECOTURISM
Baracoa
First village established
by Spaniards in Cuba, after it was isolated from the rest of the
country during 400 years, that made a local and singular culture.
It is located in the regions with the higher Cuban precipitations,
and in the middle of green mountains, in a ecotourist region,
you can stay in the hotels "Porto Santo" or "El
Castillo" in the little hotel "La Rusa" or in Maguana
village, a dreamily place near the sea ;in the Cathedral of the
village you can see the fig leaf, a valuable relic that is said
was built with the woods of the "three caravels" that
makes it the oldest hispaniard and Christian monument in America.

In the middle of an impressing verdancy and instead of using a
motorboat you can enjoy the typical local "Cayuca".
