| Small, intimate and welcoming, and built on the beach, the La Rusa (The Russian) Inn catches the pleasant sea breezes and offers an immense panorama of blue waters from its windows. Baracoa provides visitors with the unique opportunity to observe and admire the singular topography of the Yunque, a high, flat-topped hill that caught the attention of Admiral Christopher Columbus when he arrived in the area in 1492. The historic quarters and the Matachín and La Punta Fortresses are witnesses to the Spanish presence in the village. From the Inn, you can visit the Duaba Farm, where the abundance of fruit trees create the perfect scenario to enjoy Cuban cuisine, countryside traditions and the flavor of the magical cocoa fruit. Very close to the La Rusa Inn is Playa Miel (Honey Beach), exhibiting its grey-colored sand. |
