Camagüey Province

Camagüey Province is an administrative region in central Cuba spanning flat terrain with sandy coastlines to the north and numerous cays and islands to the south. The landscape contains diverse marine environments and terrestrial zones suitable for livestock and agriculture.

The region was established as a province in 1514 at a coastal location but relocated its main settlement inland to its current capital in 1528. This shift determined the agricultural and economic development that followed.

The province has deep roots in cattle ranching, seen in local rodeos and farming practices that shape rural communities. This livestock heritage remains central to how people work the land today.

The territory connects to major Cuban cities via the Central Highway and has an international airport for travel. Roads and air services make exploring the region and moving between cities relatively straightforward.

The southern coast is home to the Jardines de la Reina archipelago, featuring extensive coral reefs and rich marine life. Few visitors reach these remote islands, making them among Cuba's most untouched seascapes.
