Our Opnion
If your ideal holiday includes beautiful beaches, diving sites, sport fishing then look no further. Santa Lucia is infused with an atmosphere of rest and relaxation rather than nightlife.

The provincial capital offers much history and splendour with its labyrinth urban sprawl. The surrounding areas display green hills and fauna, desert islands, and caverns to explore. Here you will find a well preserved ecosystem.
