Holguín

Follow the road less-travelled to Cuba’s Holguín province, beach-rimmed, rich in natural beauty and home to a thriving, cultural capital. Its northern coast boasts wide bays, silk-sand beaches and wildlands where exotic species roam free. Step away from the shores and find Cuba’s oldest national park shrouded in greenery, harbouring its own alpine microclimate close to tropical, colonial cities.

Ropa vieja (Cuba’s national dish of shredded beef and vegetables) or vaca frita (crispy fried beef), Cuban tamales, guava-filled pastries and sweet flan.

Cuban coffee and chocolate, a postcard from the Sierra Cristal National Park, wood-carved items from the Guardalavaca flea market and Cristal or Bucanero beer from the breweries located here.

Fun Fact

Antelopes, wild boars, zebras, oh my! No, these are not native to Cuba, but somehow you can spot them roaming about Cayo Saetía, a national park in Holguín province. The exotic animals were gifts or imports from African countries and populated this islet once used as a private holiday home for Fidel Castro and his family. You can now explore the forests and beaches of the area, or embark on a jeep safari!
