This region is indelibly stamped with Che Guevara’s legacy and associated sights. Yet it should also win your heart for hosting the nation’s most frenzied street party (Remedios), for its highs amongst the glimmering Escambray peaks and their adventure possibilities (around Embalse de Hanabanilla) and for its lows along the lolling white-sand strands off its northern coast (Cayo Santa María).
Coverage includes: Santa Clara & around, Remedios, Caibarién, and Cayerías del Norte.
