Introducing Península de Guanahacabibes
Inhabiting Cuba's western extremity, the Península de Guanahacabibes is a low-lying and ecologically-rich region that supports only a sparse sprinkling of people. There is evidence to suggest that it once played host to some of the island's earliest inhabitants. Reached via a two hour drive from Pinar del Río, visitors can find cheap accommodation in the gateway settlement of Sandino (which retains a couple of decent casas particulares) or press on to the well-known diver's haven of María la Gorda.
