Las Tunas Province

Las Tunas Province covers 6,595 square kilometers of territory with a mix of agricultural lands, mangrove-lined coasts, and urban settlements.

The province emerged in 1976 during Cuba's administrative reorganization when the former Oriente Province was divided into smaller administrative regions.

Eight municipalities within the province maintain traditional agricultural practices, focusing on sugarcane cultivation and cattle farming across their territories.

The provincial capital, Las Tunas city, connects to other major Cuban cities through the Carretera Central highway and regular railway services.

The southern coastline features extensive mangrove forests along the Gulf of Guacanayabo, creating natural barriers against ocean storms.
