Cienfuegos

Cienfuegos is a stunning waterfront city situated on the southern coast of Cuba. Its picturesque nautical setting has earned it the title, “the Pearl of the South”, a description that has endured for centuries.  The history of Cienfuegos possesses interesting antecedents and is rich in aborigine and Hispanic legends. Founded in 1819, it's one of Cuba's newest settlements, but also one of its most architecturally interesting, a factor that earned it a Unesco World Heritage Site listing in 2005.
