In addition to its great location, close to other iconic features of the city, this building stands out for its beautiful architectural style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This structure has a beautiful and characteristic colonial style, especially striking for its bright yellow colour, coupled with certain eclectic influences. The building was built in 1931, and is located inside the Central Park of Baracoa, one of the busiest open spaces in the city. If you decide to visit its interior, you will find a curious circular courtyard with arcaded corridors. Here, you can stroll around in peace and quiet. A 100% recommended visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-seboruco-castle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Seboruco-Castle\"><\/span>2.

It served as a defensive system, strategically located more than 100 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fortress, having been declared a National Monument in 1978, was built during the 18th century. However, a few decades ago it was transformed into a hotel and adopted the name Hotel El Castillo. Even so, it is worth going to its viewpoint and enjoying the impressive views over the bay of Baracoa. You can also the great natural formation of El Yunque. You can&#8217;t miss it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-cathedral-of-our-lady-of-the-assumption\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Cathedral-of-Our-Lady-of-the-Assumption\"><\/span>3. Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption is probably the most important religious building in Baracoa Cuba. Although it has a modest fa\u00e7ade and architecture, this cathedral has a beautiful interior which houses the famous Cruz de la Parra, considered the oldest Christian symbol. In spite of its numerous transformations due to different attacks, it still preserves all its essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the first parish church on the whole island, you cannot miss a visit to this marvellous structure. It is located right in the middle of the path that runs through the historic centre, so you will have no problem accessing it. Once you have finished your visit, you can go to other symbolic spots nearby, so don&#8217;t forget to take your camera!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14563\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/cuba\/things-to-do-baracoa-cuba\/attachment\/baracoa-cathedral\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?fit=768%2C642&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,642\" 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=\"baracoa-cathedral\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?fit=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?fit=768%2C642&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?resize=835%2C698&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"baracoa cathedral\" class=\"wp-image-14563\" width=\"835\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/baracoa-cathedral.jpg?resize=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" \/><figcaption>Baracoa Cathedral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-municipal-museum-of-baracoa-cuba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Municipal-Museum-of-Baracoa-Cuba\"><\/span>4.

Like most of the city&#8217;s fortifications, during the 18th and 19th centuries it was part of the city&#8217;s defensive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in 1981 that the fortification was transformed into a museum, which is currently the most interesting cultural site to see in Baracoa Cuba. During your visit, you can discover up to seven different exhibition rooms, each dedicated to a different theme. Among them, you will find exhibitions on archaeology, the colonisation process and the history of the Cuban revolution, among others. And all this for only 1 CUC a ticket, which is the equivalent of 0.84\u20ac. It doesn&#8217;t get any better than this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>Organise your travel itinerary with <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/auth\/signup?download=true&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-baracoa-cuba&amp;utm_term=recommendation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passporter<\/a><em>, completely free to use, easy and practical.

In the past, this building was a place of recreation for the inhabitants of Baracoa. Nowadays, it is a theatre where different cultural and recreational activities are held, as well as exhibitions of some of the local artists. Come and see it!<\/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\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/auth\/signup?download=true&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-baracoa-cuba&amp;utm_term=1\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CREAte your baracoa travel itinerary<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-the-surroundings-of-baracoa-cuba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-the-surroundings-of-Baracoa-Cuba\"><\/span>What to see in the surroundings of Baracoa Cuba?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-blue-well-of-punta-mais\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Blue-Well-of-Punta-Maisi\"><\/span>1. Blue Well of Punta Mais\u00ed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Punta de Mais\u00ed is a spectacular natural spot that is the easternmost point of the whole island. There, as well as enjoying its abundant nature, you will be able to discover its great archaeological and cultural wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Punta de Mais\u00ed is home to some of the most beautiful natural sites in the area. On the one hand, there are the famous Escalones de Gigantes, enormous rock formations that reach up to 70 metres in height. On the other hand, there is the acclaimed Pozo Azul (Blue Well). As its name suggests, is a natural well with impressive crystal clear waters. Here you can take a pleasant swim in pure nature. You&#8217;ll love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-maguana-beach-in-baracoa-cuba\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Maguana-Beach-in-Baracoa-Cuba\"><\/span>2. Maguana Beach in Baracoa Cuba<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located barely 20 kilometres from Baracoa is the impressive Maguana Beach, a completely paradise that meets all the requirements of a tropical Caribbean beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides having a long stretch of white sand, what makes this beach a special place is its abundant vegetation, mainly composed of large palm trees. You can enjoy a wonderful sunny day while you take a dip in its warm, crystal-clear waters. And if lying in the sun is not your thing, you are in the ideal place to practice one of the most fun water activities: snorkelling. You&#8217;ll enjoy an impressive 180-metre reef, and get to know a great variety of marine species. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-yumur-estuary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Yumuri-Estuary\"><\/span>3. Yumur\u00ed Estuary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boca de Yumur\u00ed is an impressive natural environment located in the municipality of Baracoa, just 40 minutes drive from the city. It is the mouth of the Yumur\u00ed River, where you will find a space full of stone canyons up to almost 9 kilometres long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can enjoy this breathtaking scenery by taking a boat trip down the river to the small Isla de las Almendras (Almond Island). You&#8217;ll be fascinated by the natural beauty all along the way as you navigate the stunningly clear waters, all surrounded by lush vegetation on both sides of the river. This excursion is not to be missed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-yunque-de-baracoa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Yunque-de-Baracoa\"><\/span>4. Yunque de Baracoa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>El Yunque, located just 10 kilometres from Baracoa, is an imposing natural park and natural area protected by the country. Besides being Cuba&#8217;s most important natural jewel, this enormous rock formation is visible from any point in Baracoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This mountain reaches a height of 575 metres, although its most characteristic feature is its flattened top due to erosion. You can hike up to the highest part of the mountain, which stretches up to 8 kilometres. However, once you reach the top, you will realise that the climb was well worth it: you will be fascinated by the breathtaking views of Baracoa&#8217;s surroundings. What&#8217;s more, once you&#8217;ve finished the route, you can enjoy a nice swim in the Duaba River.
