Subjects : Baracoa is a pearl of the Cuban East, or "The Other Cuba" as it is also nicknamed. Tourism here is very small and the interaction with the locals is genuine, as now in very few other places on the island, here in fact you will not find the annoying Jineteros ( scammers). The village is very nice to photograph and the most interesting opportunities you have on the promenade and from above (Hotel El Castillo open to all). But the real "goodies" are a few kilometers away, such as the Boca de Miel and the Mirador Majayara, a beautiful protected area, the Humboldt National Park with a very high species of birds and flora and many isolated beaches in the surroundings. You can move easily with a rental bike or , especially if you are in a group rent a taxi (also available for the whole day at acceptable prices). For the more adventurous there are the local "camiones". The road to Guantanamo (Farola) is a must-see, with its own vehicle you can take advantage of incredible vantage points.

Recommended equipment : From wide-angle to canvas. Recommended tripod for landscapes.

Best months : Strongly recommended from December to April. In hot and hot summer. Absolutely to avoid September and October due to the high risk of hurricanes, being a very exposed area.

How to get there : Internal flight from Havana. With the comfortable and reliable buses of via Viazùl (via Santiago de Cuba). Or with a rental car from Santiago de Cuba.

Visits : Yara-Mayara Park. Humboldt National Park. Several beaches including: Maguana and El Manglito. El Yunque, beautiful mountain with crazy vegetation.
