Excursion details:

This three place excursion starts in the Cienaga de Zapata near the largest salt water lake in Cuba, the Laguna del Tesoro". Near this place, a small indian village was recreated by Cuban sculptor Rita Longa with bronze statue that represent Cuban native inhabitants living their everyday lives. this village was given the name after the Taino indian who rose against Spanish conquerors. History says that the revolt was ended when Guama was killed by his brother when the first one stole his brother's wife. The criadero de cocodrilos is another attraction you shouldn't miss.

Not far from there you will find the Cueva de los peces. This geological formation is called Cenote and is formed when the roof of an underground river collapse leaving a pool of salt water connected to the sea by a system of immersed tunnels. In the cenotes of La Cueva de los Peces live a wide variety of flora and fauna characteristic only of this region. The more than 80 m deep pools in Cueva de los Peces is considered a real challenge for experience cave divers.

The last stop of this excursion is Playa Giron. Apart from its natural beauty and incredible sun sets. Playa Giron has a particular historical importance as it was the scene of the biggest US supported attempts to overthrow the Cuban revolution in 1961. The event is known by western historians as the Invasion of Bay of Pigs. The first strike was given by fight planes carrying emblems of Cuban air force. The second strike was by troops disembarking at Bay of pigs. Both attacks were defeated in less than 72 hours. These events were crucial to the development of the Cuban missile crisis in October, 1962. After this last historical stop, the day will end with a picnic lunch in the surroundings.
