Situated on the Caribbean coast of southern-central Cuba, Cienfuegos is a compelling place to visit. Cienfuegos is the first, and an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble representing the new ideas of modernity, hygiene and order in urban planning as developed in Latin America from the 19th century. Visit wonders like El Nicho, the Macizo de Guamuhaya, the Yaguanabo Valley and the Jagua Bay with its amazing environmental and ecological value. Cienfuegos also has a medicinal spa located in Ciego de Montero, 20 km away from the city.
