Cayo Santa María
Local Information
Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean, boasts innumerable attractions: not just its beaches and scenery but also a rich history, a fascinating culture and the warmth of its people. Formed by over 4,000 keys, islets and islands, Cuba covers 110,922 square kilometers of terrain, encompassing luxuriant vegetation with a huge variety of flora and fauna, virgin islands, grottoes, caves, mountains, forests and over 280 beaches.
A veritable paradise in the very heart of the Caribbean, whose capital, Havana, was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1982 in recognition of its concentration of historic buildings.
A delightful string of islets winds its way through a sea of stunning greens and blues in the northeast of the central Villa Clara province, very close to the world’s second largest coral reef. The Villa Clara Los Cayos refuge for fauna covers some 77,844 hectares, which are also home to 248 species of plants. The jewels in its crown are the Las Brujas, Ensenachos and Santa María keys, idyllic pairs of stunning virginal landscapes, where the indigenous vegetation gives way to fine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.
