Cayo Saetia is located
at the entrance
of Bahia de Nipe and at 1:30 hour from Holguin. Considered
the largest hunting reserve of the country, with a large
and wide variety of species that offer the opportunity to
go on a safari in the low forest, a Natural Park conception,
Cayo Saetia maintains a virginity that humans have not yet
invaded and that allows the conservation of its original
flora and fauna.
Visitors can access any point of the cay by using adequate
vehicles for these aims, its tourist infrastructure counts
on 10 air-conditioned rooms with television, and restaurants
specialized in exotic meats and Cuban meals.
Twelve
virgin beaches with crystal clear water and fine white sand
among which are found the Gaviota, the Almendra and the
Peñón.
To avoid hurting the zone's habitat and to preserve the
natural environment, hunting is done under strict observation
of established national and international regulations.
More than the sun, the beaches, the history and the culture,
we could say that Cayo Saetia is, from a natural environment
stand point, a unique place where one can realize a Jeep
seafari and a
horse back-ride.
Located on the north coast of Holguin and bordering the
key is an extensive coral barrier that one can enjoy.
