Say Zapata Swamp is nature, ie virgin forests, swamps and marshes vegetation, mangroves ancient, beautiful beaches with no pollution, nature tourism. Zapata Swamp, with a total area of 10 499 km2, is located in the southern part of the province of Matanzas, is the largest wetland in the Caribbean and was declared a Biosphere Reserve in 2000. In its boundaries is an exceptional wealth of flora and fauna, supported by the presence of more than 900 plant species, 160 bird species and numerous species of mammals, fish, amphibians and reptiles, among which stands the Cuban crocodile There are, however, that indicate the absence of dangerous animals or wild animals such as poisonous snakes exist in Cuba, allowing the enjoyment of nature in an environment of absolute security and peace. How to get there? Access to the region is through a paved road that connects with National Highway at the height of Jaguey Grande, at km 142. It should make the visit by car or shuttle or excursions contracted hotels in Havana and Varadero as there is no regular link bus lines. What to see, what to do? The Zapata Swamp is important as a tourist destination in the first place, for lovers of nature tourism: bird watching, hiking, ecotourism, but there is also room for scuba diving, adventure tourism, sport fishing and the enjoyment of beaches, and even for scholars interested or recent history of the island. A visit to this region begins in the far north after leaving the National Highway: – Central Australia: a mere 3 km from National Highway, its main focus is that here lies the staff of the army and government militias during the Bay of Pigs invasion (or Bay of Pigs invasion, as it is also known), in that sense you can visit the Historical Museum of the Armed Forces Command. It is also possible to make a visit to the sugar mill, the old slave quarters,

I can also stay in chalets which are usually on the outskirts of the city and offer all services. Once installed, there are plenty of things you can discover in the city. The most animated Jemaa El Fna is an attraction in itself, with its snake charmers, acrobats and musicians and their all kinds of artists and animators, as well as many places to eat and drink. Just off the square you can not miss a visit to the souks, the largest traditional market in Morocco. There you can find anything that you may be looking and you can admire the skill and technique of the art and craft items that are manufactured there. You must know that most prices in the markets are not fixed, which means that if you want to buy something, you have to haggle, and haggle hard! In the medina you can also visit some of the most interesting architectural monuments of the country, from the stunning sixteenth-century necropolis of kings Saadians or madrasa, or Koranic school Ben Youssef, to the imposing Palace of the Bay and Bai, without forgetting the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque and the fascinating and picturesque Jewish quarter of the Mellah. But I think the mere fact of wandering around the medina, watching the craft and antiques in the many posts and enjoy the mysterious and exotic atmosphere is itself an experience. The culture of Marrakech is a Muslim, but also find Jewish synagogues and Christian churches.

Muslims in Marrakech, Morocco and general, are usually very mild and very tolerant and are known, rightly, for their hospitality and generosity. In Marrakech in particular people are accustomed to receiving visitors from all countries, cultures and religions. Also, if you alejais a little more touristy areas, sure you’ll find yourself with some traditional ceremony or a wedding, with its rhythmic and joyful music. Marrakech is a real gem and a place full of exoticism and magic, as well as being right on the doorstep of Europe. The are very cheap, making the city into a tourist attraction even more. For your accommodation, I recommend a typical escojais and surely will have an unforgettable stay in this city that I’m in love.
