About Baracoa

Due to its geographic isolation, Baracoa, Cuba, is just beginning to be discovered by tourists. Those who venture to this remote northeastern corner of the island will discover an almost unspoiled colonial village surrounded by secluded beaches and virgin rainforest.

On the horizon looms the most recognizable local landmark, a table-toped hill called El Yunque.

Baracoa’s cobblestone streets are lined with one-story buildings, whose peeling, carnaval colored paint jobs and weathered tile roofs add, rather than detract, from their charm. Local people watch you curiously from wide verandas. Some may approach you to sell sweets, but they are not as mercenary as the venders in Havana.

Baracoa, where cocoa trees grow in abundance, is famous its white chocolate, sold in round, flat cakes encased in palm bark. Also try the cucruchu, an ambrosia of honey, coconut, nuts and fresh seasonal fruit served in palm bark cone.
