Itinerary description

Prior to 1960, Baracoa was only accessible by sea. It wasn’t until after the Cuban Revolution that a single mountain road was constructed from Guantánamo. Today, it can also be accessed by bus from Santiago de Cuba or by plane from Havana.

While the architecture of the town can be described as scruffy and run-down, the culture and cuisine of Baracoa make it a must-visit destination in Cuba. Coconut, banana, and cacao are the specialties of this region, and it is considered Cuba’s top manufacturing area for chocolate. Among the lush greenery in the city are small restaurants and street vendors that offer distinctive specialties that utilize local crops, such as prawns in coconut sauce and banana-stuffed tamales. One particularly sought-after Baracoa specialty is the cucurucho, a sweet treat of coconut, sugar, and fruit wrapped in dried cone-shaped palm leaves.
