Cayo Iguana is a tiny island located approximately 2 hours by boat from Trinidad, Cuba.
The turquoise waters that surround this uninhabited island of white sand are calm and shallow. The exotic flora and fauna that occupy it harmonize the perfect setting for a Caribbean adventure. The friendly iguanas, accustomed to the presence of tourists, and the hutias, a rodent native to Cuba, are particularly noteworthy. Likewise, sea animals such as starfish, small fish or colorful crabs are easily seen.
It is an ideal place for you to go snorkeling or hiking. It is also perfect for you to relax on the sand while enjoying the sun. To reach this earthly paradise you have to take a boat from Playa Ancon in Trinidad. In high season it is advisable to book the excursion in advance as places are limited as it is a protected area. It is necessary to expect that the excursion lasts a full day. In addition, there is a “ranchón” or Cuban style bar on the cay where food and drinks are served.
As a general rule, about a hundred meters before anchoring in the key, there is a coral barrier, where the catamaran stops for a while so that you can swim among the colorful fish and admire the beauty of the coral.
