________________
Playa Larga, a small fishing village on the Cuban coast, is the gateway to the Cienaga de Zapata National Park. A varied ecosystem of wetlands, mangrove forests, coral reefs and underwater canyons, it’s home to a massive variety of colourful birds and tropical fish.
And, unlike most Cuban beachfront towns, Playa Larga is not fronted by sterile hotels. Instead it’s a product of local invention. Playa Larga-ians have converted their homes into accommodation and terraces into bars, creating an altogether cooler vibe.
Playa Larga is located at the south of the Matanzas Province. You only can get there by road, you can take a bus, a taxi or renting a car to get there. The distances from Havana is 140 kilometers, from Varadero es 105 kilometers and from Cienfuegos is 181 kilometers.

Cienaga De Zapata Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Cienaga de Zapata.
Swamps, countless canals and natural watercourses are typical of the rugged landscape of Cuba's Cienaga De Zapata Peninsula. The Montemar Nature Park that is located in the southern part of the Cuban province of Matanzas is regarded to be one of the largest wetlands in the entire Caribbean.Prior to the Cuban Revolution the area was owned by ten powerful entrepreneurs.At that time, woodcutters, charcoal-burners and crocodile hunters worked within its mangrove forests.Of the park's one hundred and eighty varieties of bird, twenty-three are endemic and due to their large numbers they are relatively easy to observe.The landscape of the Salinas is totally different from the Matanzas. In this savannah-like environment the vegetation is quite scant, the earth arid and cracked. Approximately three hundred and forty-two varieties of bird have been recorded in Cuba and the majority inhabit the Zapata Peninsula. With its abundance of natural splendour the Cienaga De Zapata in the heart of Cuba is like a beautiful work of art created by Nature.

Cienaga De Zapata Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about nature park Cienaga de Zapata in Cuba.
The Cienaga De Zapata Nature Park is situated in one of Cuba’s most humid regions, the Zapata Peninsula. The simple huts of the Indian village of Guama give a basic impression of the life of the country’s original inhabitants which like silent witnesses of the past rise out of a steaming swamp in the light of the breaking dawn. The rising sun paints the landscape in warm hues of colour and the flight of a bird is a reminder that under the cover of apparent stillness, there is a constant pulse of life. In this natural bio-space exist biological remnants which stem from the time of Earth’s infancy. A lonely fishing boat moves quietly through the morning haze, past wooden bridges and dwellings, accompanied only by the splashing of water and the eternal melody of the wild and exuberant plant and animal kingdoms. The most varied life forms coexist harmoniously in this natural paradise, the splendour of the plant world contrasting starkly with bizarre forms of decay and the transformation of life and death which is bound up in nature. Slowly and dominantly, the crocodile-shaped head of the primeval Manjuari, a fish thought to have been extinct until some years ago, forces itself through the dense surface of the water only to quickly disappear into near-impenetrable vegetation. In the king palm covered Cochinos, the so-called Bay of Pigs, on the Playa Longa, only a few remnants remain of the failed landing of exiled Cubans in 1961. This peaceful paradise of grazing horses and white heron makes it easy to forget that this infamous event brought the world to the brink of annihilation. The Cienaga De Zapata is a universe of nature’s treasures, a last refuge of Earth’s history which stamps itself forever into the memory.
