Cienfuegos, Cuba Vacations

Diving enthusiasts and sun seekers flock here to enjoy the intense blue waters. You will find hidden caves and waterfalls, maybe some natural pools and healing hot springs.
During the Cuban Revolution the city saw an uprising against Fulgencio Batista, the leader of Cuba, and was bombed, on September 5, 1957. In 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Urban Historic Centre of Cienfuegos on the World Heritage List, citing Cienfuegos as the best extant example of the 19th-century early Spanish Enlightenment implementation in urban planning.
