Baracoa - Cuban resort on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, founded in the distant 1511. This is the oldest city on the island of freedom. Surprisingly, the development of tourism here began relatively recently - in 1960, when a roadway was built through a mountain range connecting the resort with the rest of the island.
A small town, drowning in tropical greenery, some tourists bypass in one day, preferring the rest of the vacation time to spend on the beach. For active people, Baracoa prepared a rather extensive promotional program.
Decoration of the city, undoubtedly, is a pretty mountain "EL YUNQUE" (10km West Of Baracoa Off The Moa Road), a view of a reminiscent table or, as the name is translated from Spanish, anvil.
Climbing and descent will take at least three hours. The path is unclean, but the view of the mountain opening from the mountain, you will be impressed. The route runs through thick vegetation, small rivers and on the dirt road, so be sure to take care of comfortable shoes on a non-slip sole.
Cuban music, pushing to the very vertebrae, in a compartment with a stunning-delicious Roma - is it not a goal of traveling to the amazing and original Cuba island. Enjoy both the other can be enjoyed in a famous bar, a kind of local attraction - "Casa de la Trova" (Via Felix Ruene). Here you always wait for live music and incendiary dances of local residents, which anyone can take part. And it does not matter a good dancer or not, just move to the beat and enjoy.
This place is very popular among tourists, but it is not tourist-butaforn. Cubans love to rest here. The institution closes far from the post, spreading wonderful rhythms of music around the district.
If you are a sweet tooth, you just need to visit "Casa del Chocolate" (Calle Maceo 121). Here chocolate paradise! Being in Baracoa and do not try a cup of hot chocolate - this crime.
The cafe room is decorated with pictures and photos, clearly showing the process of cooking this beloved by many treats. Be sure to try ice cream with chocolate and certainly buy a box-other candy yourself and as a gift to friends familiar.
"Archaeological Museum" (800 Meters from Hotel Castillo) will be interested in those who are interested in history. It is noteworthy that the museum is located in the cave, which adds color. Here are collected various artifacts found during archaeological excavations: dishes, jewelry, remains of skeletons and much more. Museum pride - idol statue
Well, it is simply impossible not to visit the object of world importance protected by UNESCO - " Parque Nacional Alejandro De Humboldt » (Yateras). This is the National Park, named after the German scientist. Here is the main sculptor and artist - Nature
Heights heights from plains to elevations, raging rivers and beautiful waterfalls, animals and plants having a limited habitat - all this you will find here. Visiting the park is preferably as part of an organized excursion or at least with a guide that will tell you interesting information and will show various secluded corners hidden from prying eyes thick and impassable vegetation.
Walking along the streets of this wonderful coastal town, you can admire the local architecture built in the colonial style. Many buildings need to be restored, such as "Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin" , But all this is from lack of funds. The whole paradox is that when some place is becoming popular with tourists who bring a great contribution to the country's economy, the place loses its originality. Therefore, a big advice: visit Boroo is not too late, until it hurt the flow of organized tourists and did not fill this calm town with a multilingual noise. Try to catch the resort in the still prosticated thickening.
