Laguna del Tesoro & Aldea Taína

Photo
The Laguna del Tesoro (Treasure Lagoon), located in the Zapata Peninsula, is one of Cuba’s largest natural freshwater lakes, surrounded by lush vegetation and abundant wildlife. The lake is steeped in legend, believed to be a hiding place for treasures of the Indigenous Taíno people. In its midst lies the Aldea Taína, a recreated Taíno village, featuring life-sized sculptures and dwellings that illustrate the daily life, rituals, and traditions of Cuba’s first inhabitants. Visitors can enjoy a boat ride across the lagoon, discover the cultural heritage of the Taíno, and admire the breathtaking natural beauty of this unique destination.
