Baracoa\u2019s cobblestone streets are lined with one-story buildings with carnival coloured paint jobs and weathered tile roofs. Local people watch you curiously from wide verandas. Cocoa, pineapples, coconut and the largest tangerines I have ever seen grown abundantly in the area.\r\n\r\nBaracoa is a land of great rainfall and many rivers. The lush vegetation, the high mountains covered with long-lived forest, the customs that have been handed down from one generation to another and the appearance of a town that has remained unchanged over a long time are, undoubtedly, key ingredients in the special attraction of this tiny city on the shores of Miel (Honey) Bay.\r\n\r\nBaracoa is a place in Cuba where you can see from one location two sea\u2019s \u2013 the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is also called the first city\/Capital of Cuba. Do not expect great luxury and touristic highlights. But this is the reason why this place is so charming. The village itself \u2013 it\u2019s history \u2013 the locals. \r\n\r\nIt is noted as the place where Columbus dropped anchor and was also the original Cuban capital.\r\n\r\nInteresting blog from VT: \u201cThe best thing about Baracoa are the rivers. Warm, clear water and if you go up the mountain along the eastern trail see \u201cla cascada\u201d. It\u2019s not a waterfall. At the top, the Toa is a tight river, about 20 meters wide, filled with boulders\u2026 the biggest rocks you have ever seen in your life. There are a million of them, filling the whole river, for miles and miles.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"IMG_9852\"<\/a>\r\nAn Old Shipwreck (hull) in the Harbour and the Baracoa Airport (airstrip)<\/b>\r\n
