Varadero is 140 kilometres to the east of Havana, on the Hicaco Peninsular.
This peninsular is the northernmost point of the Cuban mainland, almost reaching
the Tropic of Cancer line, and separated from the United States of American
by only 180 kilometres. The peninsular is connected to the mainland by a lift
bridge. There are a total of 22.6 kilometres of fine sand beaches lapped by
waves from a deep blue ocean.
Varadero is situated right on the beach, and is one of the most famous beach
destinations Cuba has to offer. Everything in the city is within easy reach,
with five avenues running along the peninsular.
Nearby Matanzas, 30 kilometres from Varadero and the province’s capital,
is another of the region’s beautiful historic cities. Matanzas was made
rich by French immigration, which lasted until the end of the 18th century.
The region is also host to a wide variety of natural beauty, from the marine
world of beautiful beaches and turquoise sea to the flora and fauna of the Hicaco
and Zapata peninsulars.
