Varadero beach
It was while the rest of the world was fighting the Second World War that Varadero came into existence but it is only recently that hotels and facilities have grown up to make Varadero one of the most sought after destinations in the Caribbean island of Cuba. It offers a beach with phenomenal caves in Varadero culturea natural landscape that is reminiscent of the days when pirates terrorised the locals during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. A local conference centre is drawing in business visitors to Varadero together with opportunities for scuba diving, big game fishing, sailing and other water sports.
Juan Gualberto GĂ³mez International Airport accepts flights from Central America, South and North America, Europe and Africa. Varadero is part of a natural park that was set aside as an ecological preserve in 1974. The park covers 312 hectares and is rich in flora and fauna and tropical birds. The woods are some of the best preserved in the world and there is the legendary Patriarch cactus, which is said to be over 600 years old and is situated at Hicacos Point.
Ambrosio's Cave is about 250 metres long and has 5 galleries that interconnect. The walls of the cave have numerous drawings that make up one of the largest collections of Indian pictographs in the Caribbean. During the slave trade, many runaways hid out in the cave systems. In the district are salt works and it is believed that the famous sea captain, Sir Francis Drake, stopped to take on salt used for preserving meat on his way back to England.
There are several excellent hotels in Varadero some with as many as five stars. Varadero Golf Club is world class and is an 18-hole, 72 par, 6,270-metre course – or much longer if your ball doesn’t go straight!
