A perfectly preserved colonial town of cobbled streets and pastel houses, built on sugar wealth, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios. Climb the bell tower of the Museo Nacional de la Lucha Contra Bandidos for the view.


Live music fills the Casa de la Música steps at night. Playa Ancón beach and the Topes de Collantes waterfalls are close.
