Holguin
This rugged mountainous region was pronounced “the most beautiful land eyes
have ever seen” by Christopher Columbus when he first sighted it in 1492.

But Holguin's beauty extends beyond the hills and exquisite beaches.

Under water are amazing dive sites, and below ground are the world's second-
largest deposits of nickel and cobalt.


When Columbus discovered the northern shores of Holguin, most of it was part of
the Great Maniabón Indian territory.

He also identified the area's mineral beds, which are now the world's second-
larges deposits of nickel and cobalt. Today, the mountains and tropical forests
remain virtually untouched, offering unparalleled ecotourism opportunities. And
the beaches, lagoons and bays are irresistible to visitors.
