PARADISUS RIO: CUBA WALKING TOUR

Sunset hike shows the Playa Esmeraldo beach, the main pool at the Paradisus Rio de Oro resort, the bridge over fresh water lake connecting to the neighboring resort: Sol Rio de Luna Y Mares. This is Eastern Cuban served by Holguin airport. The nearest town is Guardalavaca. Not far from here is where Christopher Columbus made his historic first landing on Cuba, a big deal for Europeans and a sad occasion for the indigenous Taino people who were virtually wiped out in 30 years, most from disease.
