| SANTIAGO
DE CUBA - MAREA DEL PORTILLO Y MANZANILLO
From
Santiago de Cuba to Marea del Portillo
It
is an enviable journey skirting the highest mountain range in Cuba,
The Sierra Maestra, full of history and indelible memories for the
Cubans. Scenery of liberating actions since the XIX century. Its
geography has no comparison in Cuba. Formidable fruit bearing trees,
enormous and very green plants and a non-aggressive fauna. Different
species of birds invade the place along the highway.
There
are 300 km traveling the southern oast of the Cuban east, just at
the feet of the mountain range. When arriving to Marea del Portillo
you will find an incredible place. It is the unusual perfect combination
of beach and mountains.
A hotel
at the foot of the beach will allow you to lodge and to enjoy the
place and its
charms
From
Marea del Portillo to Manzanillo
About 100 km seperate both places. Departing from the beach you
will get Manzanillo City, a compulsory place to go in the oriental
journey.
It is a typical Cuban city. The hotel Guacanayabo is the only very
basic hotel in the area and Manzanillo has one casa particular.
