Varadero

Varadero occupies a narrow 22-kilometre peninsula on Cuba's north coast that supports one of the longest stretches of uninterrupted white-sand Caribbean beach in the region. The peninsula is primarily developed with all-inclusive resort complexes, making it the centre of Cuba's international tourism industry. The western end of the peninsula contains the Reserva Ecológica de Varahicacos, protecting native dry forest, cave systems with pre-Columbian pictographs, and a 500-year-old cactus.
