Manzanillo is situated in the majestic Sierra Maestra Mountains in the southern region of Cuba. It’s where the modern revolution in Cuba was established and where Fidel Castro and his rebels landed in 1956 after leaving exile in Mexico. Today, it retains its revolutionary spirit and contains a wealth of historical monuments, museums, and squares showcasing the fight for Cuban independence. The Museo Historico la Demajagua exhibits the history of the Cuban independence movement from 1868 to the present day. Manzanillo isn’t just a historian’s dream locale, it also features stunning beaches and a wealth of attractions, such as the Criadero de Cocodrilos, one of Cuba’s crocodile farms. Map
