Rent a car in Playa Girón Cuba

Playa Girón is a small beach on the eastern shore of the Bay of Pigs, in south-central Cuba, which today is a tourist center. Located in one of the largest wetlands in the world, the Zapata Swamp, it went down in history in 1961, when it was chosen as one of the landing points for the Bay of Pigs invasion. Playa Girón is hardly distinguishable from other small beaches in Cuba, it has the same coral sand, and its turquoise waters cover wonderful reefs. But what makes it unique is having witnessed over the years how the Cuban people fell prey to different attacks and fought until they won.

Matanzas

Matanzas is located bordering the bay of the same name, located about 100 km east of Havana and 40 km west of Varadero. It is located in an eminently flat region. Due to its cultural and literary development, Matanzas is also known as the Athens of Cuba. Matanzas is the second largest province in Cuba behind Havana and one of the provinces that has contributed the most to the economic development of the island. It is located in the western region of Cuba and, except for the highlands in the northwest and center of the province, the entire surface of Matanzas is flat. With a tropical climate almost all year round, it attracts many tourists who come in search of sun and beach, since Matanzas contains one of the most precious pearls of Cuba, Varadero. The jewel of Matanzas, the one that brings the most fame to the province, is the sparkling city of Varadero, with its endless stretch of beaches, its overwhelming hotel chains and its luxurious lifestyle. However, Matanzas has many beautiful places that do not detract from its side.
