The Guanahacabibes peninsula in Cuba's southwestern corner encompasses over 120,000 hectares of land, including a National Park. This diverse reserve showcases mangrove forests, coastal areas, grasslands, numerous lakes and marshes, caves, and pristine fields of 99.8% pure silica sand. Its rich wildlife includes nearly 200 bird species and 4 out of the 7 global marine turtle species. The peninsula's uninhabited beaches serve as crucial nesting sites for green and loggerhead turtles.
