Guantánamo Province, Eastern province in Cuba.

The territory spans 6,164 square kilometers with the Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa mountains creating a diverse landscape of rainforests in the north and dry terrain in the south.

The province emerged as a strategic location during the Spanish-American War of 1898, leading to the establishment of the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay.

The province displays architectural influences from Jamaica and French colonies, with buildings similar to those found in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The region maintains connections to major Cuban cities through the Carretera Central highway and receives commercial flights at Mariana Grajales Airport.

The province shares the only land border with a United States military installation in Cuba and maintains visibility of Haiti's lights from its eastern coast.
