Quivicán, Colonial municipality in Mayabeque Province, Cuba.

Quivicán is a municipality in Mayabeque Province located on agricultural land bordered by the Gulf of Batabanó. The landscape is characterized by low elevations and open terrain dedicated to farming and livestock.

The municipality was founded on September 2, 1569, when Jerónimo Vaca Renjifo received land to establish a livestock farm. These early beginnings shaped the agricultural character that has defined the region.

The local museum displays artifacts and documents showing how the region developed from its earliest inhabitants to modern times. Visitors can explore this history through objects and items on display.

The municipality has several agricultural research centers and educational facilities that offer insights into the local farming economy. Visiting during the dry season makes travel easier and allows better access to the area.

Two internationally known pianists, Bebo Valdés and Chucho Valdés, were born here and shaped Cuban music history. Their connection to this agricultural area shows how the region produced remarkable artistic talent.
