Camagüey, known for its churches and tinajones (large clay pots for storing water), was one of the first seven settlements founded on the island. It has a valuable historic legacy and traditions preserved for over 500 years. Declared a World Cultural Heritage Site, its intricate maze of streets and squares have turned this destination into a unique place in the eastern centre of Cuba.
For the first few days of your stay in Camagüey, we suggest you follow the route of its most emblematic places. Streets, churches, parks and cultural institutions that vibrate to the rhythm of the city and its people. As you stroll along the irregular streets, you’ll discover why it’s known as the city of churches or clay.
