Itinerary description

The route to Baracoa from Santiago de Cuba encompasses some of the most beautiful roads in Cuba. The southern coast of Guantanamo province features karst formations right by the deep blue of the Caribbean, while the legendary La Farola road crowns the trip meandering between the green Sierra del Purial mountains.
Throughout the 250 km you’ll cover from Santiago to Baracoa you’ll find a number of outstanding lookout points – not only your destination, but the road itself that gets you there offers you a beautiful geographical experience.
Roughly 95 km separate Santiago from the guantanamera capital. Our beautiful Guantanamo province is famous for the unique song “Guantanamera”, through which Joseíto Fernández musicalized pristine simple verses by the great José Martí.
