First discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 upon his voyage to the Americas, this coastal city is as beautiful and diverse as they come, with tropical forests, mountainous backdrops, an abundance of wildlife, golden beaches, plus a rich centre packed with awe-inspiring historical buildings and crumbling fortresses. In fact, finding this twinkling jewel in the Caribbean\u2019s crown left Columbus somewhat speechless (we can\u2019t blame him), with his next diary entry revealing: \u201cThis country, is so enchantingly beautiful that it surpasses all others in charm and beauty\u2026 I was so astonished at the sight of so much beauty that I can find no words to describe it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This exotic corner of Cuba really does have it all, whether you want to lounge on paradise sands or explore the rich history and culture. If you prefer the latter, be sure to pack your comfy shoes as there\u2019s a whole lot of history to see here. Navigate your way around the narrow, cobbled streets and you\u2019ll soon get an idea of the destination\u2019s long history, thanks to its collection of fascinating cultural attractions. Wander past rows of remarkable old mansions sandwiched between two of the most prominent landmarks in the city, Fuerte la Punta (Fort La Punta) and Fortaleza de Matachin (Matachin Fortress).<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1280 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Baracoa Destination guide\" width=\"1036\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1.jpg 1036w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1036px) 100vw, 1036px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Look out for the prominent yellow Ayuntamiento de Baracoa (Baracoa City Hall) and the Parroquia de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Asunci\u00f3n (Parish of Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Asunci\u00f3n), the first parish church on the island and host to the famous Cruz de la Parra (Sacred Cross of Parra) landmark \u2013 a wooden cross erected by Columbus after his voyage.

Your first stop should be the Reserva de la Biosfera Cuchillas del Toa (Cuchillas del Toa Biosphere Reserve), located at the Greater Antilles, it\u2019s one of the principle centers of biodiversity in Cuba. The main attraction here is the World Heritage Site-listed Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt (Alejandro de Humboldt National Park), full of beautiful endemic animals (keep your eyes peeled for endangered species), stunning native plants such as the Coconut Palm, and the Jiguan\u00ed River. You\u2019ll also find the Parque El Yunque (El Yunque Park) inside the reserve, which houses the city\u2019s famous National Monument and a selection of scenic trails and tours to embark on.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1281 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Baracoa Destination guide\" width=\"914\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-2.jpg 914w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-2-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 914px) 100vw, 914px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Alejandro de Humbolt national Park<\/p>\n<p>After all that exploration, relax on one of Baracoa\u2019s sensational beaches with shallow crystal-clear waters and shelving white sands, a few of our favourites being Miel, Manglito, and La Fundora Beach (which can be reached by taking an adventurous tour along the Jiguan\u00ed River).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Love Cuba<\/strong> is the UK\u2019s leading <strong>Cuba holiday specialist<\/strong>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\">Click here for more info<\/a>\u00a0or call us on 0207 071 3636 or email <a href=\"mailto:enquiries@lovecuba.com\">enquiries@lovecuba.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;439&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]National Monument of Cuba, Baracoa is the oldest colonial city on the isle located in Guant\u00e1namo Province, near the eastern tip of Cuba.
