Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba in 1492 and established the town in 1511, making it the first Spanish settlement in Cuba. Despite being the oldest Spanish colony on the island, Baracoa is the only place where the indigenous people, the Ta\u00ednos, managed to survive the Spanish colonizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 16th and 17th centuries, Baracoa&#8217;s location attracted pirates and smugglers, who made the town a center for smuggling in the Caribbean. When Haiti gained its independence, French settlers fled to Baracoa, bringing chocolate and coffee with them. Since then, Baracoa has remained a major producer of chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baracoa was difficult to access by land for a long time and was cut off from the rest of the island until the 1960s when the Carretera Central was built. It now provides easy access to the town, which is still a hidden gem in Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Weather in Baracoa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Baracoa&#8217;s weather, like the rest of Cuba, is divided into two seasons: the dry season (late November &#8211; late April) and the rainy season (May &#8211; November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the temperatures, precipitation, and sunshine hours in Baracoa by month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>January<\/strong><\/td><td>22 to 28 \u00b0C \/ 71.5 to 82.5 \u00b0F<br>20 mm precipitation<br>6 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>February<\/strong><\/td><td>22 to 28 \u00b0C \/ 71.5 to 82.5 \u00b0F<br>17 mm precipitation<br>7 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>March<\/strong><\/td><td>22 to 29 \u00b0C \/ 71.5 to 84 \u00b0F<br>38 mm precipitation<br>7 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>April<\/strong><\/td><td>23 to 29 \u00b0C \/ 73.5 to 84 \u00b0F<br>41 mm precipitation<br>7 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>May<\/strong><\/td><td>24 to 30 \u00b0C \/ 75 to 86 \u00b0F<br>78 mm precipitation<br>8 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>June<\/strong><\/td><td>25 to 31 \u00b0C \/ 77 to 88 \u00b0F<br>58 mm precipitation<br>9 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>July<\/strong><\/td><td>26 to 32 \u00b0C \/ 79 to 89.5 \u00b0F<br>37 mm precipitation<br>9 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>August<\/strong><\/td><td>26 to 32 \u00b0C \/ 79 to 89.5 \u00b0F<br>45 mm precipitation<br>8 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>September<\/strong><\/td><td>25 to 32 \u00b0C \/ 77 to 89.5 \u00b0F<br>70 mm precipitation<br>8 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>October<\/strong><\/td><td>25 to 31 \u00b0C \/ 77 to 88 \u00b0F<br>100 mm precipitation<br>8 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>November<\/strong><\/td><td>24 to 30 \u00b0C \/ 75 to 86 \u00b0F<br>67 mm precipitation<br>7 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>December<\/strong><\/td><td>23 to 29 \u00b0C \/ 73.5 to 84 \u00b0F<br>39 mm precipitation<br>7 hours of sunshine per day<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the dry season, temperatures in Baracoa are cooler, but during the rainy season, temperatures can reach above 30\u00b0C\/86 \u00b0F. While it doesn&#8217;t rain much in the dry season, the rainy season is characterized by regular and intense but short-lived showers. The sunshine in Baracoa ranges from 6 to 9 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Getting to Baracoa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Baracoa may still seem remote and difficult to access today, but there are several options available for travelers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flights to Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flights to Baracoa are infrequent, but Gustavo Rizo Airport serves the town and is located in the east of the island. Cubana de Aviacion offers flights to the airport from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/en\/havana-cuba\/\">Havana<\/a> or Santiago de Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, travelers can fly into Guantanamo or Santiago de Cuba and take a taxi from the airport to Baracoa. The drive is about 3.5 hours from Guantanamo and 4 hours from Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buses to Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Viazul buses also serve Baracoa from major cities like Havana, Camag\u00fcey, and Santiago de Cuba. The journey times are 19 hours from Havana (66 CUC), 11 hours from Camag\u00fcey (33 CUC), and 5 hours from Santiago de Cuba (15 CUC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taxis to Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s more difficult to find collective taxis in the west of the island, as it&#8217;s less touristy than the east. Private taxis are available, and travelers can inquire about them at their casa particular. However, the fare is likely to be high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769\" class=\"wp-image-13653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-600x451.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-800x601.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-141x106.jpeg 141w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cuba-Baracoa-1024x769-1-247x186.jpeg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to see in Baracoa?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering what to see in Baracoa? Look no further! Here are some must-visit places in the town:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Three Forts of Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Baracoa&#8217;s strategic location made it the hub of smuggling in the Caribbean. To protect the town, three fortresses were built: the Fortress of Matach\u00edn, the Castle of Seboruco, and the Fortress of La Punta. Visitors can still admire them today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Fortress of Matach\u00edn<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Built-in 1802 to protect the Bah\u00eda de Miel, the Fortress of Matach\u00edn now houses the Baracoa Municipal Museum. It invites visitors to discover the history of Baracoa from the time of the Ta\u00ednos, who inhabited the island before the Spanish colonization. Entry to the museum costs 1 CUC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Castle of Seboruco de Santa B\u00e1rbara<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the castle began in 1739 but was not completed until 1900. It overlooks the entire town and offers a panoramic view of El Yunque from its viewpoint. The castle now functions as a hotel and boasts a pool with a sea view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Fortress of La Punta de Mais\u00ed<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Located one hour from Baracoa, the lighthouse of the Fortress of La Punta de Mais\u00ed overlooks the Caribbean Sea. Lucky visitors may even catch a glimpse of Haiti in the distance. A white sand beach stretches at the foot of the fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cathedral of Nuestra Senora de Asunci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Built-in 1803 on the central square of Baracoa, the Cathedral of Nuestra Senora de Asunci\u00f3n has undergone many transformations over the centuries. The building was completely renovated in 2012. Inside the cathedral, visitors can admire the &#8220;Cruz de la Parra,&#8221; the only survivor of the 29 wooden crosses that Christopher Columbus erected upon his arrival in Cuba in 1492.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769\" class=\"wp-image-13649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-600x451.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-800x601.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-141x106.jpeg 141w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.ulysses.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Baracoa-Cuba-1024x769-1-247x186.jpeg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Casa del Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is advertised as a museum dedicated to chocolate, the Casa del Chocolate (also called Casa del Cacao) is mainly a shop where visitors can buy chocolate bars or enjoy a cup of hot chocolate at a table. There are only a few explanatory panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">El Yunque Natural Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This anvil-shaped mountain, which is 575 meters high, is located about 10 kilometers from Baracoa and takes about 20 minutes by car to reach.

Visitors can explore the waters with snorkeling gear or enjoy a drink at Tato&#8217;s bar on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Playa Maguana<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Located 20 km north of Baracoa on the road to Moa, this beach offers a white sand shoreline and turquoise waters. Visitors can take a bus from the city center for 4 CUC or pay 20 to 25 CUC for a taxi. Overnight stays are available at the 16 bungalows of Villa Maguana Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Playa Blanca<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This small beach near Boca de Miel is a nature reserve, and visitors must pay 2 CUC to the guard to access it. It is within walking distance from Baracoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Playa Duaba<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While not the most beautiful or cleanest beach, Playa Duaba is within walking distance from the city and offers a view of El Yunque in the distance, bordering the Duaba River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations for your trip to Baracoa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodation in Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a casa in Baracoa, Captain Ulysses recommends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-9089590-11552045?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expedia.com%2FBaracoa-Hotels-Casa-Lester.h28950537.Hotel-Information%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Casa Lester<\/strong><\/a><\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-9089590-11552045?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expedia.com%2FBaracoa-Hotels-Casa-Las-Palmeras-Baracoa.h29294130.Hotel-Information%3F%3Done-key-onboarding-dialog%26chkin%3D2023-05-18%26chkout%3D2023-05-19%26destType%3DMARKET%26destination%3DBaracoa%252C%2520Province%2520of%2520Guant%25C3%25A1namo%252C%2520Cuba%26latLong%3D20.347787%252C-74.496865%26pwa_ts%3D1683209185337%26referrerUrl%3DaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXhwZWRpYS5jb20vSG90ZWwtU2VhcmNo%26regionId%3D508%26rfrr%3DHSR%26rm1%3Da2%26selectedRatePlan%3D254071636%26selectedRoomType%3D215117925%26sort%3DREVIEW_RELEVANT%26top_cur%3DUSD%26top_dp%3D30%26useRewards%3Dfalse%26userIntent%3D%26x_pwa%3D1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Casa Las Palmeras<\/strong><\/a><\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-9089590-11552045?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expedia.com%2FBaracoa-Hotels-Hostal-Rubio.h33689941.Hotel-Information%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Hostal Rubio<\/strong><\/a><\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurant in Baracoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;La Terraza (Flor Crombet No. 143, between Ciro Fr\u00edas and Pelayo Cuervo), located in Casa Nilson, serves delicious seafood and offers a panoramic view of the city.
