In And Around Cienfuegos

Known as La Perla del Sur ("the Pearl of the South") for its beautiful harbor area and dignified ambiance, Cenfuegos is celebrated by UNESCO as a premiere example of 19th-century Latin American urban planning. Its prime location on Cuba's southern Caribbean coast is strategic, as the seaport here is central to the country's sugar, coffee, and tobacco trades. I hope you enjoy the photos in this gallery and get a sense of this beautiful city.
