About 150 km northeast of Santiago de Cuba is the town of Baracoa which according to our host, Carlos, is a great place to visit. We took his advice and headed there. The drive to Baracoa was about an hour longer than needed and quite eventful.

So, I understand that my last post seemed to shed a more negative light on Cuba and that is my truth.
Cuba is hot! The true summer months haven’t even hit yet and the temperatures have already reached over 38degrees Celsuis with July and August yet to come.
We headed to the Baconao Valley which had bunch of really cool attractions in it. Unfortunately a significant number of them were damaged 18 months ago by hurricane Sandy and haven’t been repaired.
