Discover Baracoa, the hidden gem of Guantánamo province in eastern Cuba and the first village founded on the island by Diego Velázquez in 1512. Named the first capital of Cuba and the island's first archbishopric in 1518, Baracoa is a place where sea and mountains blend harmoniously into a landscape of extraordinary beauty. The city is bathed by the Miel River and home to the mighty Toa River, famous for its waterfalls, including the impressive 17-meter Saltadero. El Yunque mountain, named for its resemblance to an anvil, offers unforgettable hiking, while history lovers can admire the Cruz de la Parra, the cross planted by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage. Reaching Baracoa is an adventure in itself along La Farola, a spectacular spiral road with 11 bridges that climbs to Alto de Cotillo, over 600 meters above sea level. French heritage from colonists who fled the Haitian revolution lives on in coffee and cocoa traditions and unique cuisine: try the famous Cucurucho, a sweet blend of coconut, pineapple, orange and cocoa served in a palm-leaf cone. With rich flora and fauna, Baracoa is a true paradise for ecotourism in Cuba and the most attractive destination in Guantánamo province.
