The most complete collection relating to Indo-Cuban culture is held in this museum in the town of Banes, known as the archaeological capital of Cuba. It exibits indigenous artifacts such as pottery, jewelry, and tools. Among the thousands of pieces held, two are of particular interest: a solid gold icon, the first to be found in the area, and an indigenous skull with a hole in it similar to one that might be caused by the impact of a bullet. There are also murals depicting indigenous life.

It stretches along 32 km of coast and covers an area of 1,000 hectares. In the coastal area there are spots with mangrove trees, marshy tropical forests and endemic trees, offering the option of following ecotourism paths and enjoying other outdoor activities. It has three small keys and an aquarium with dolphin and sea lion shows. You might also taste the sea food and the native cuisine. 

Guardalavaca stretches over 3 km. of beach among steep cliffs at north-east of Holguín province. Its warm, quiet turquoise waters are protected by coral reefs, creating an ideal microclimate for sea life. The water is very clear and the visibility good up to depths of 20 m allowing for remarkable diving in places.

Some 8 km south of the Guardalavaca beach is the largest burial ground to be found in the Antilles. Beside this archaeological cemetery is La Aldea Taína, a theme park with reconstructed scenes from the everyday lives of the native communities, with their hut-like dwellings, their customs and games. It constitutes the most important discovery in Cuba regarding an aboriginal settlement. Thus, the site has been declared National Monument.
