Boca de Canasí Protected Area.

The Abra de los Arcos de Canasí is a colossal open door for the most intrepid explorers, located in the Habana-Matanzas plain, in the province of Mayabeque.

It is a camping area and at the same time a landscape to admire.

River, mogotes, caves, local fauna and flora offer all their splendor.

From a height of more than five meters above sea level is the viewpoint of the mouth of the Canasí River, which reaches a width of about 100 meters there.

It is easy to lose track of time in that place, safe from the most violent rays of the tropical afternoon.

In the Boca de Canasí Protected Area there is no better place than this to receive and say goodbye to the sun.

To the north: the immense sea.

To the east: a rugged coastline.
