Introduction
Located 177 kilometers from Havana, 170 from Varadero and 550 from Cancun, in the very heart of the Caribbean, the key features 125 kilometers of white sands, a crystalline sea and virgin sea bottoms, full of grottos, barriers and sandy valleys where crustaceans, sponges, coral and fish of all colors and shapes are perfectly visible thanks to the transparency of the surrounding waters.
From the beach (Sirena del Cayo, as Cubans and visitors usually call it) one can access other small keys it and enjoy their numerous attractions: Cayo Rico, a splendid island of green waters and fine sands; Cayo Iguanas, isolated and rural, inhabited by harmless saurians already on the verge of extinction; Cayo Rosario; Cayo Pájaros, an immense nest of rocks where ocean birds procreate; Cayo Cantiles, inhabited by apes; and Cayo Sigua, among others.
