The Guanahacabibes Peninsula National Park is located in western Cuba, 94 kilometers from the city of Pinar del Río.
It is a flat and elongated peninsula with 1,015 km2 of deserted coasts declared as a Biosphere Reserve since 1987 that turns out to be a true paradise for scuba divers, ecotourists and bird watchers and conservationists. The submerged coastline of this reserve presents a wide variety of interesting landscapes, including extensive mangroves, low scrub vegetation and an elevated platform where white sand and coral rocks alternate.
