The chocolate drink here is so good, but it's basically all they sell, along with really good chocolate blocks as well. Still very much recommend going - lots to look at as well with an interesting interior and posters and items from the chocolate growing and making process all around.

The chocolate is ok but nothing special. The options are cold chocolate, hot chocolate, chocolate with rum or chocolate with ice cream. They also sell milk and dark chocolate bars at 2CUC each. I guess it's nice to try but overpriced as everything sold to tourists here.

Great people working there, great chocolate con helado, close to the main square.

Very good hot Chocolate

🍫🍫🍫☕☕☕

(Translated by Google) Very little to see, but hey, at least you are informed about the chocolate process 🍫 in the region. Don't get your hopes up about being able to get a good sweet, they don't sell anything either. (Original) Muy poco para ver, pero bueno por lo menos se informa del proceso del chocolate 🍫 en la región. No se ilusiones con poderse llevar un buen dulce, tampoco venden nada.

(Translated by Google) Lately they almost never sell anything, they never have any chocolate options, but I passed by there and it just so happened that there was chorote and that excellent custard made with coconut milk, and everything was very affordable. The girl who served us treated us very well. (Original) Últimamente casi nunca vende nada, nunca tiene opciones de nada de chocolate, pero pasa por allí y dió la casualidad había chorote y esa excelente natilla hecha con leche de coco, y todo muy económico, la muchacha que nos atendió nos trató muy bien

An old architectonic jewel in central Baracoa.

(Translated by Google) In the central square of Baracoa there is the church of Nuestra Senora with inside - according to legend - the cross placed by Christopher Columbus upon his arrival in these lands, but we found it closed during the day. In the evening, however, we found it open (Original) Nella piazzetta centrale di Baracoa si trova la chiesa di Nuestra Senora con all'interno – secondo la leggenda – la croce posizionata da Cristoforo Colombo al suo arrivo in queste terre , ma di giorno l'abbiamo trovata chiusa. Alla sera però l'abbiamo trovata aperta

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church in the city center. The wooden cross on display dates from Columbus' time, but the wood is Cuban. So he couldn't have brought it with him. (Original) Schöne Kirche im Stadtzentrum. Das ausgestellte Holzkreuz stammt zwar aus Kolumbus' Zeit, das Holz jedoch ist kubanisch. Er kann es also nicht mitgebracht haben.

(Translated by Google) One of the oldest buildings in Cuba. The church was consecrated on the day the city was founded. (Original) Eines der ältesten Gebäude Kubas. Geweiht wurde die Kirche am Tag der Stadtgründung.

(Translated by Google) Bella, it's a shame not to be able to go in to see the original vine cross that is inside. (Original) Bella, lastima no poder entrar a ver la cruz de parra original que se encuentra dentro.

(Translated by Google) THE OLDEST CHURCH IN CUBA, ESTABLISHED IN THE FIRST VILLA NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA ASUNCION DE BARACOA, FOUNDED BY DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ AND WHERE THE "CROSS OF VINE" IS PRESERVED, BROUGHT BY CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS TO CUBAN LANDS. (Original) LA IGLESIA MÁS ANTIGUA DE CUBA, ESTABLECIDA EN LA PRIMERA VILLA NUESTRA SEÑORA DE LA ASUNCIÓN DE BARACOA, FUNDADA POR DIEGO VELÁZQUEZ Y DÓNDE SE CONSERVA LA "CRUZ DE PARRA", TRAÍDA POR CRISTÓBAL COLÓN A TIERRAS CUBANAS.

(Translated by Google) It is definitely the best excursion you can do in Cuba. 2 hours up and 2 hours down to see some amazing landscapes. When you go down, I recommend bathing in the river and then heading towards the waterfall. We went with a spectacular guide. Very lively, friendly and interesting. His name is Idalgo and you can find him in the central square (ask the locals, they all know him). (Original) Definitivamente es la mejor excursión que podéis hacer en Cuba. 2 horas de subida y 2 de bajada para ver unos paisajes alucinantes. Al bajar, recomiendo bañaros en el río y después dirigiros hacia la cascada. Nosotros fuimos con un guía espectacular. Muy animado, simpático e interesante. Su nombre es Idalgo y le podéis encontrar en la plaza central (preguntad a los locales, que todos le conocen).

(Translated by Google) An impressive natural wonder in a unique and privileged setting, it is mentioned in Columbus's chronicles of the discovery of America. El Yunque is located between the banks of the Duaba and Toa rivers, is 1,125 m (3,691 ft) long, and has a total area of 461,000 m² (4,960,000 sq ft). El Yunque was declared a National Monument by the Cuban National Monuments Commission on December 25, 1979. El Yunque is covered in Cuban rainforests, and the lower slopes are planted with cacao trees shaded by royal palms. (Original) Impresionante maravilla natural en un entorno único y privilegiado, aparece mencionado en las crónicas de Colón sobre el descubrimiento de America. El Yunque está situado entre las orillas de los ríos Duaba y Toa, tiene 1125 m (3691 pies) de largo y una superficie total de 461 000 m² (4 960 000 pies cuadrados) El Yunque fue declarado Monumento Nacional por la Comisión Nacional de Monumentos de Cuba el 25 de diciembre de 1979. El Yunque está cubierto de bosques húmedos cubanos y las laderas inferiores están plantadas con cacao a la sombra de palmas reales.

(Translated by Google) beautiful landscapes, very clean and crystalline rivers, I really enjoyed my stay there... (Original) hermosos paisajes, lor rios muy limpios y cristalinos disfrute mucho mi estancia por ahi...

(Translated by Google) It is a 100% recommended excursion, we must bear in mind that if it rains the climb is complicated because it is very slippery. The path is not very well marked so I would recommend taking a guide (supposedly it is mandatory since it is included with the entrance), in our case we did it with Raúl, a local farmer who explained everything to us wonderfully, he was the real sheriff of the area, an incredible person. Bathing in the Duaba River is mandatory, although the excursion to the waterfall can be done on your own. (Original) Es una excursión 100% recomendable, hay que tener en cuenta que si llueve la subida se complica por qué resbala mucho. El camino no está muy bien señalizado por lo que recomendaría llevar guía(supuestamente es obligatorio ya que se incluye con la entrada), en nuestro caso lo hicimos con Raúl, un agricultor local que nos explico todo de maravilla, era el auténtico sheriff de la zona, una persona increíble. El baño en el rio Duaba es obligatorio, aunque la excursión a la catarata se puede hacer por libre.

(Translated by Google) I was born in Baracoa... and I don't say this because it is my country, but El Yunque seems to me to be a super beautiful place to visit and take photos... it is an incredible view. (Original) Yo soy nacida en baracoa.. y no porque sea mi país digo esto pero el yunque a mi me parece un lugar super hermoso para visitar y sacarse fotos.. es una vista increíble.

(Translated by Google) Our stay with Alejandro and Susana was just a dream. We can recommend that anyone who comes to Baracoa spend the night with them. There are both delicious meals and great planned excursions that make your stay in Baracoa even more enjoyable. In addition, the house is very, very beautiful with a great garden and a flower-covered terrace. (Original) Unser Aufenthalt bei Alejandro und Susana war einfach nur ein Traum. Wir können jedem der nach Baracoa kommt ans Herz legen, bei den beiden zu übernachten. Es gibt sowohl leckere Mahlzeiten als auch tolle geplante Ausflüge, die den Aufenthalt in Baracoa noch viel schöner machen. Hinzukommt dass das Haus sehr, sehr schön ist mit einem tollen Garten und einer mit blumenbedeckten Terrasse.

(Translated by Google) The stay at Alejandro and Susana's house is a 10, from the personal attention to the rooms. The house is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and bright, Alejandro and Susana are charming, you feel at home from minute one. (Original) La estancia en casa de Alejandro y Susana es de 10, desde la atención personal a las habitaciones. La casa es preciosa y las habitaciones espaciosas y con mucha luz, Alejandro y Susana son encantadores, te sientes como en casa desde el minuto uno.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommend. It is a nice, warm and beautiful experience stay in this casa. I enjoy the beautiful garden. The food is delicious. My wife will gain weight! Thank Alejandro and Susana so much!! Hope to come back here someday. ;) A pleasant stay experience, as if you have your own beautiful garden, relaxing and comfortable. It was a real treat to eat in a garden with beautiful hanging flowers. I almost forgot to mention that the breakfast and dinner here are the best among the five B&Bs I have stayed in so far, especially the unrivaled red heart guava jam. A hurricane hit during our stay, but the attentive hospitality of the B&B owner made people almost forget that there was a threat of hurricane outside, except for the beautiful flowers, plants and fruit trees in the garden. Thank you Alejandro and Susana for giving us a wonderful trip memory. (Original) Highly recommend. It is a nice,warm and beautiful experience stay in this casa. I enjoy the beautiful garden. The food is delicious. My wife will gain weight! Thank Alejandro and Susana so much!! Hope to come back here someday. ;) 愉快的住宿經驗，彷彿擁有自己專用的美麗花園，輕鬆愜意。 尤其是在懸著美麗花朵的花園裡享用美食，真是一大享受。 差點忘了說，這裡的早餐和晚餐，是我目前住過五間民宿裡面最好的，尤其是那無人能敵的紅心芭樂果醬。 入住期間適逢颶風來襲，但民宿主人的殷勤招待，讓人幾乎忘記外頭有颶風威脅，只可惜了花園裡的美麗花草和果樹。 謝謝Alejandro和Susana，讓我們擁有一段美好的旅途回憶。

(Translated by Google) The ideal place to visit Baracoa! Excellent cleanliness, excellent breakfast and dinner. I found in the Casa Particulars that I visited on our mini tour, attention to the guest that was much higher than the average of multi-starred hotels in Cuba. For example, in the food cooked by Susanna and Alejandro you can feel the "soul" that they put into creating excellent dishes: from the simple morning tortilla, to which he added some fragrant herbs taken directly from the garden, to the fresh fruit smoothie, the name of which I don't remember, very good. On the evening of dinner the electricity suddenly went out only in the street of the house. After about an hour of waiting, in which we hoped he would return, with makeshift means (I think by going to cook at a friend's house) he still managed to prepare an excellent dinner for us! Thank you Alejandro and Susana if we return to Baracoa you will definitely see us! (Original) Il luogo idele per visitare Baracoa! Pulizia ottima, colazione e cena ottime. Ho trovato nelle case Particular che ho visitato nel nostro mini tour, una attenzione all'ospite di molto superiore alla media degli hotel pluristellati di Cuba. Ad esempio, nel cibo cucinato da Susanna ed Alejandro senti "l'anima" che ci mettono nel creare ottime pietanze: dalla semplice tortilla del mattino, a cui aggiungeva delle erbette profumate prese direttamente dall'orto, al frullato di frutta fresca, di cui non mi ricordo il nome,buonissima. La sera della cena è mancata improvvisamente la corrente elettrica solo nella strada della casa. Dopo circa un ora di attesa, in cui si sperava tornasse, con mezzi di fortuna (credo andando a cucinare in casa di amici) è riuscito ugualmente a prepararci una ottima cena! Grazie Alejandro e Susana se torneremo a Baracoa ci vedrete sicuramente!

(Translated by Google) Very nice and helpful hosts. The food and the rooms are top. (Original) Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Das Essen und die Zimmer sind Top.

This small museum is a jewel. It features a solid collection of original artifacts as well reconstructions of different aspects of Taino life pre-European arrival. It is set up in a natural system of superposed limestone caves, so it is a thrill to go inside and out the caves, one after the other, as you discover the exhibition. Staff are knowledgeable and generous in sharing the depth of indigenous roots that have marked Baracoa's identity. Last but not least – the museum offers an amazing view of Miel Bay from the top cave. 100% recommended!

The Archaeological Museum," Cueva del Paraiso " gem with a vast collection of artifacts, tools, utensils, vessels, and other components related to Aboriginal culture, is a must-see that allows you to learn about and experience firsthand the way of life of the inhabitants of Cuba before the Spanish conquest.

(Translated by Google) Museum closed. Quite a climb to get there. With the help of friendly neighbors, I called the key holder, but in vain. Please inquire in advance whether a visit to the cave is possible. (Original) Museum gesloten. Hele klim om er te komen. Met hulp van vriendelijke buren nog gebeld met sleutelhouder maar vergeefs. Goed navragen vooraf of bezoek aan de grot mogelijk is.

(Translated by Google) Wonderfully 😍 (Original) De maravilla 😍

Near museum, there is memorial to Cristoph Colombo. Baracoa Bay was first stop in Cuba

(Translated by Google) Temporarily closed due to work on the damaged roof after cyclone. Spoke with some employees. Plek itself has plenty to offer. (Original) Tijdelijk gesloten vanwege werkzaamheden aan het beschadigde dak na cycloon. Gesproken met enkele werknemers. Plek heeft op zich genoeg te bieden.

(Translated by Google) This museum is very amazing as it contains real remains of the aborigines found in that region of Cuba. (Original) Muy asombroso este mueso pues contiene restos reales de los aborigenes encontrados en esa región de Cuba.

(Translated by Google) extraordinary place, one of the forts inherited from the Spanish colony of that time that needed to be protected from privateers and pirates. but the most interesting of all is talking with its Director who is also the historian of the City of Baracoa. (Original) extraordinario lugar, uno de los fuertes heredado de la colonia española de aquella época que era menester protegerse de los corsarios y los piratas. pero lo más interesante de todo es conversar con su Director el cual tambien es el historiador de la Ciudad de Baracoa.

(Translated by Google) I love this museum... it has a lot of history inside... I'm a barbecue fan so if you come to Baracoa I recommend you go. (Original) Adoro este museo .. tiene mucha historia en su interior ... yo soy de barbacoa asi que si vienes a baracoa te recomiendo que vayas.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting! you have to go (Original) Interesantísimo! Hay que ir

(Translated by Google) Although the government still allows the theft of sand on this beach and its total oblivion as part of the protection and reforestation so that the sea does not advance and a few meters of beach are lost each year, this beach is still as I remembered it. , quiet, beautiful with its blue waters and incredible attractiveness. It is one of the most beautiful beaches that the Villa de Baracoa Nuestra Señora de la Asunción has. First Villa founded in Cuba. (Original) A pesar de que el gobierno permite aún el robo de arena en esta playa y el olvido total como parte de la protección y la reforestación para que el mar no avance y se pierdan algunos metros de playa al año, esta playa sigue estando como la recordaba, tranquila, bella con sus aguas azules y un atractivo increíble. Es una de las playas más hermosas que tiene la Villa de Baracoa nuestra señora de la asunción. Primera Villa fundada en Cuba.

(Translated by Google) Very sad how people have defaced this place. There are endless syringes and plastic on the beach. Cubans try to sell things intrusively. Families drink liquor in the water and bathe with small children at the same time. I can't recommend this place at all. (Original) Sehr traurig wie Menschen diesen Ort verunstaltet haben. Es liegen Spritzen und Plastik ohne Ende am Strand. Kubaner versuchen aufdringlich Dinge zu verkaufen. Familien trinken Schnaps im Wasser und baden gleichzeitig mit Kleinkindern. Ich kann diesen Ort überhaupt nicht weiterempfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, too much rubbish. It's a shame, actually a nice place, but neglected. (Original) Leider zu viel Müll. Schade, eigentlich ein schöner Ort, aber ungepflegt.

(Translated by Google) Terrible experience! During our stay in Baracoa we went to this quite nice beach (Baracoa has nicer ones). The beach is near the mouth of a river, when it rains, the flow of the river water increases, causing the temperature of the sea water to drop and consequently many jellyfish (called Agua viva or Agua mala), which are not like those we can find in Italy, but much more dangerous, come closer to the shore. My girlfriend, as well as other people we met at the polyclinic (fortunately located a few hundred meters from the beach), was taken by one of these causing burns on her face and body, as well as a strong allergic reaction. Unfortunately we had to interrupt our holidays as she had to take cortisone and antibiotics. This danger is not reported in any way even if the locals are aware of it. Be careful!! (Original) Esperienza terribile! Durante il soggiorno a Baracoa siamo andati in questa spiaggia abbastanza bella (Baracoa ne ha di più belle). La spiaggia è vicino alla foce di un fiume, quando piove, la portata dell'acqua del fiume aumenta facendo si che la temperatura dell'acqua del mare cali e di conseguenza molte meduse ( chiamate Agua viva o Agua mala), che non sono come quelle che possiamo trovare in Italia, ma bensì molto più pericolose, si avvicinano a riva. La mia ragazza, così come altre persone che abbiamo incontrato al policlinico (situato fortunatamente a poche centinaia di metri dalla spiaggia), è stata presa da una di queste causandole bruciature sul viso e sul corpo, oltre che una forte reazione allergica. Purtroppo abbiamo dovuto interrompere le nostre vacanze avendo lei dovuto assumere il cortisone e gli antibiotici. Questo pericolo non è in alcun modo segnalato anche se le persone del luogo ne sono a conoscenza. State attenti!!

(Translated by Google) I love this beach and the people who live nearby, some of them sell you the delicious shaved almonds in this place and at a good price. You will meet enterprising people offering you coconut water on the way to the next beach (Playa Blanca). Very close is the Honey River, myths say that if you bathe in its waters, one day you will return to Baracoa, I confirmed that it is true. (Original) Me encanta esta playa y la gente que vive cerca, algunos te venden las ricas raspaduras de almendras en este lugar y a buen precio. Te encontrarás personas emprendedoras que te ofrecen agua de coco de camino a la siguiente playa (Playa Blanca). Muy cerca está el río miel, cuentan los mitos que si te bañas en sus aguas, un día volverás a Baracoa, yo confirmé que es cierto.

(Translated by Google) I love this beach... 😊claro.it's the beach I grew up with... it's very beautiful. It is as beautiful as my complete baracoa (Original) Me facina esta playa ... 😊claro.es la playa con la cual crecí... es muy bella . Es tan bella como mi baracoa completa
