Eastern Santiago de Cuba province, whose capital is the second largest city in the country, is a favorite destination for thousands of foreign vacationers who visit that part of Caribbean Island every year.

The region boasts many natural and historic treasures, in addition to the welcoming nature of the local people and the country's natural wealth.

One of the most interesting sites in Santiago de Cuba is the Baconao Park, which is regarded as the perfect formula for foreign tourists who wish to enjoy its well-preserved natural environment.

The sea and the mountains are combined with legends in an offer that those who have chosen that destination to spend their vacations cannot refuse.

Among the Baconao Park's lodging facilities is the Costa Morena Hotel, which is 38 kilometers from the city of Santiago de Cuba, which many regard as the Capital of the Caribbean.

The establishment's proximity to the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea provides the Costa Morena Hotel with an additional value, since guests can practice a wide range of nautical sports.

The hotel offers 115 rooms and 10 cabanas equipped with all modern amenities demanded by today's tourism industry, in addition to excellent services that invite guests to repeat their stay at the Costa Morena Hotel.

As a complement, the establishment has a smorgasbord and an a la carte restaurant, as well as four bars, a massage parlor, a gymnasium and two swimming pools, one of which is a natural pool.

Other facilities are a tennis court, entertainment areas and a game hall, among other options for leisure.

The Baconao Park also has an aquarium, where visitors can learn about the Caribbean marine fauna.

Dolphins and seals entertain both children and adults with their abilities and pranks, in a sort of necessary and refreshing pause, and visitors can see the marine fauna in its natural habitat by entering a 30-meter tunnel under the sea.

Another facility at the Baconao Park is the Land Transportation Museum, which shows off more than 2,000 miniature vehicles and an exhibition of vintage cars.

The ancient fauna is also represented at the park, especially at the so-called Valley of Prehistory, where visitors can enjoy life-size replicas of species that existed thousands of years ago.
