This estate has the<strong> Casa de Compay Kike<\/strong>, where you can taste <strong>the most typical <strong>Cuban<\/strong><\/strong> <strong>dishes<\/strong>. You will also find the gardens, specialised in different varieties of coffee, as well as medicinal plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Ensenada El Manantial <\/strong>is another of the key places in the Guardalavaca biopark, Cuba. It is an ideal place to practice different aquatic activities such as snorkelling or sailing. Tours to the <strong>spring<\/strong>, to<strong> Los Pajaros Key<\/strong>, a natural sanctuary for marine birds, and an excursion to the exciting seabed are also organised here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Among the most striking places in the area you can admire the mouth of the <strong>Naranjo River<\/strong>, a group of small beaches where the <strong>Laguna Dorada (<\/strong>Golden Lagoon) stands out and where you can go on incredible excursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also an aquarium between the cays, which can only be reached by boat.

Better known as the &#8220;Archaeological Capital of Cuba&#8221;, it houses exhibitions of skeletons and artefacts from the pre-Columbian peoples of the region. Located in the <strong>Cerro de Yaguajay<\/strong>, it is the most famous archaeological site in eastern Cuba. It is definitely one of the things you must do if you are in Guardalavaca, Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hill was discovered in 1986 by the Central-Eastern <strong>Department of Archaeology of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba<\/strong>, exposing 56 of the more than 100 skeletons, as they were found in the area. Likewise, it is a spot where there is more evidence of the ancient settlement of aboriginal pottery farmers, something very significant in Guardalavaca, Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-guardalavaca&amp;utm_term=1\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign up for free and create your travel itineray<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-aldea-taina-cuba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-Aldea-Taina-Cuba\"><\/span>8.

Reviews often highlight how calm and uncrowded it feels compared to Varadero, making it ideal for travelers looking for a quieter beach experience. The sea, especially for swimming and snorkeling close to shore, is consistently praised for its warm water and visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors also mention the friendliness of locals and the relaxed rhythm of daily life. Rather than a place packed with landmarks, Guardalavaca is often recommended as a base to disconnect, enjoy nature, and experience a more low-key side of Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

Bariay Monument National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Bariay Monument National Park <\/strong>is a place of great historical value for the province of <strong>Holgu\u00edn<\/strong>, because it is the point where Columbus landed in <strong>Cuba<\/strong> on the 28th of October 1492.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in <strong>Cayo Bariay<\/strong>, within the Christopher Columbus Natural Park, the site shows visitors a landscape very similar to the one Columbus found after his first landing in Cuba. Around it, there are geographical features of great value, such as the <strong>hills of Maniab\u00f3n<\/strong>, the well-known<strong> Columbus Mosque<\/strong>, features which were already described in the Admiral&#8217;s diaries, or the<strong> Gibara Saddle<\/strong> in the shape of a horse&#8217;s saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this excursion you will discover the natural harbour with volcanic rocks, the <strong>commemorative plaque<\/strong> on the site of the Admiral&#8217;s landing, an <strong>archaeological museum<\/strong> where there are remains of a 19th century Spanish fort. You can&#8217;t either miss the famous monument erected in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus&#8217; landing in the area. This curious monument represents <strong>the meeting of two cultures,<\/strong> the European and the aboriginal, represented by replicas of objects created by the aborigines themselves, which were discovered in excavations carried out in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-gibara\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Gibara\"><\/span>2. Gibara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as the &#8220;<strong>Villa Blanca<\/strong>&#8220;, <strong>Gibara<\/strong> is a charming fishing village. It has one of the most significant colonial architectural ensembles of the province, since its historic urban centre was declared a<strong> National Monument<\/strong>. Gibara is a town with a strong sense of culture, and the Museum of the Cuban Colonial Environment is proof of this. Inside a large neoclassical style house, this museum is one of the places you must visit in Gibara, as well as the Church of San Fulgencio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped alignfull wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"516\" data-attachment-id=\"14588\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/things-to-do-guardalavaca\/attachment\/gibara-cuba\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,516\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Gibara-Cuba\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"14588\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?resize=768%2C516&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gibara-Cuba.jpg?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"516\" data-attachment-id=\"14587\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/things-to-do-guardalavaca\/attachment\/trip-to-gibara-cuba\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,516\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"trip-to-Gibara-Cuba\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?fit=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"14587\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?resize=768%2C516&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/trip-to-Gibara-Cuba.jpg?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Trip to Gibara Cuba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gibara, also called &#8220;the city of parks&#8221; by many, is ideal to immerse yourself in the colonial era, but it is also the ideal place to discover <strong>natural treasures such as the unknown Blue Tanks<\/strong>.
