Guanabo, Beach town in Havana, Cuba
Guanabo extends along the Atlantic Ocean coast near the Sierra del Canchón mountains, featuring small villas and low-rise hotels at the mouth of Guanabo River.
The settlement, established in 1800, witnessed the suppression of the Peñas Altas uprising by troops from Havana in 1827, marking a significant local historical event.
The town maintains Cuban traditions through local markets, small restaurants serving regional dishes, and regular community gatherings that showcase music and dance performances.
Located twenty minutes east of downtown Havana, Guanabo offers various accommodation options, from beachfront properties to residential areas, with essential amenities for visitors.
The combination of fine sandy beaches, shallow waters, and the proximity to both Havana and Santa Cruz del Norte makes this location a notable coastal destination.

Cuba combines colonial architecture, tropical landscapes and centuries-old fortifications. From the tobacco fields of Viñales Valley to the colonial towns of Trinidad and Havana, and the waterfalls of Soroa, the island displays its history and natural diversity. The Spanish colonial period left behind fortresses, palaces and cobblestone streets in historic centers. National parks protect karst formations, rainforests and coastal areas. Along the coast lie beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs. The route passes through different regions of the island, from the mountains of Sierra Maestra to the cayos off the northern coast. Each location shows a different aspect of Cuban culture and nature, whether in the streets of Santiago de Cuba or in the caves of Bellamar.
