Ciénaga de Zapata is one of the most unique places in Cuba, where several types of swamp ecosystems are grouped, moderately or little modified by the action of man. Landscapes of low, swampy and semi-swampy plains predominate there, vegetation of natural savannas of high aesthetic and landscape value, such as the Treasure Lagoon and the Hatiguanico River Basin, the main artery river in the area, as well as Playa Larga and Playa Girón. As a whole, the vegetation of the Ciénaga de Zapata constitutes one of the most important green areas of Cuba and, due to the species of flora and fauna that it hosts, represents a place of world interest. Visiting the place is undoubtedly an extraordinary adventure for lovers of nature and life.
