Cayo Las Brujas is the first of the cayos (keys) you will find when you cross the Pedraplén a road built across the sea, which connects the bay of Villa Clara with Cayo Santa María and the rest of the keys of the archipelago known as Cayerías del Norte.

Its entire north coast is occupied by a spectacular 2 km long heavenly beach of fine white sand and turquoise waters.

The tropical environment near the Canal de las Bahamas (Bahamas Channel) is home to wonderful coral reefs, the second largest concentration of reefs in the world after Australia.

Cayo Las Brujas stands out for its exotic and lush vegetation, mainly composed of mangroves along its coast, where you can find idyllic beaches such as Playa Las Salinas, the principal beach of this key.

This beach has 2 km of fine white sand, magnificent for relaxing. One of its greatest strengths is its natural habitat, is that it has an idyllic and practically virgin environment, in spite of being close to resorts where you will find all kinds of services, such as the Villa Las Brujas hotel.

Due to its location in the Bahamas channel, it is a very good place to go diving and admire its coral reefs and sea beds.

How can I get to Cayo Las Brujas?

Cayo Las Brujas is one of the keys located in the archipelago known as Cayerías del Norte, which also includes Cayo Santa María and Cayo Ensenachos. All of them are connected to each other and to the main island of Cuba through the Pedraplén, an amazing road that respects the environment built over the sea. 

It is therefore possible to arrive by car or bus, but it is important to know that, for example, if you are travelling from Havana, the journey can be long and it would be advisable to make some stops.

In addition, Cayo Las Brujas has a small airport, Aeropuerto Cayo Las Brujas (Cayo Las Brujas Airport) , which has only one runway, suitable for small and medium sized planes. The nearest international airport is the Aeropuerto Abel Santamaría (Abel Santamaría Airport), in Santa Clara; although the most used airport for the arrival to these keys from other countries is the Aeropuerto José Martí (José Martí Airport), in Havana.
