Paradise will simply strike tourists and remember them for a long time.
Here, tourists can visit the dolphinarium, which constantly hosts the show with the participation of not only dolphins, but also by sea lions. I especially like to spend time in Dolphinarium to children, not to mention the beaches with warm water, which quickly warms up and allows the defector to splash here from the morning until late evening. Palm trees growing right away from the shore make a tropical rest even more comfortable and enjoyable. In the western part of the surroundings of Sienfuegos, there is another beach - Punta La Cueva, and Playa El Inglés Beach is located between Guajimico and Yaguanabo.
