These lush wildlife preserves carefully protect Cuba’s unique ecosystem. The Botanical Gardens are home to some of the world’s most beautiful native plants and flowers, and also include several exotic varieties in its 600 hectares of land.

Where the animals can live together, they are allowed to do just that, making this Zoo one of the most unique in the world.
A true preservation of Cuba’s natural oceanic wildlife, the Aquarium is home to thousands of oceanic species, and prides itself on the exhibition of natural marine-coastal landscapes. You’ll see fish, animals, and birds that make this part of the world home, including dolphins, seals, tropical fish, and more. This is a must-see!
