The region is characterised by a mild subtropical climate, with temperatures ranging between 20°C and 27°C.
The province is named after the yacht in which Fidel Castro had arrived from exile, along with eighty-two men, to begin the guerrilla warfare. Bayamo, the capital city of the province, was founded in 1513, and played a pivotal role at the beginning of the Ten-Year War.
