Capital of the province of Villa Clara, Santa Clara is a historically rich city. You can visit the museum dedicated to Che Guevara in order to learn more about this figure so important for Cubans. Stroll on the famous Boulevard 1889 and take the opportunity to stock up on souvenirs from the various merchants. Then, you should head to Parque Vidal, located in the center of the city. A theater, a library and even a market surround this park. It is certainly a nice place to visit.
If the weather permits, you should take a deep sea-fishing trip with local anglers that will teach you a ton of tips. Good catches await you: swordfish, mahi-mahi, sea pikes or even barracudas! Check with your destination representative.
Want to see the ocean from another angle? Book a boat trip! There are several options available to you. If you are an adventurer and you like speed, go for a "speed boat" trip while an aquatic safari will show you fascinating landscapes. If you're more a chill-out type, take a catamaran cruise. You will get a closer look at the crystal clear waters and who knows, you could even spot some pretty colorful fish!
Visiting the Dolphinarium is a must do if you travel with your family. The dolphin and sea lion shows will please the children and adults likewise. Swim with dolphins and see up close how intelligent and fascinating these animals are.
