Pearl of Cuba

We have gathered like that with his second half in Cuba)
But just to sit at the resort seemed to us very boring and banal task. So we planned a route as follows: 2 nights - Havana, 7 nights - Cayo Largo 7 nights - Varadero)
Actually harbor I wrote - Now turn Cayo Largo)

So Cayo Largo (Cayo Largo del Sur), located in the southeastern part of the archipelago Kanarreos a distance of about 80 km from the island of Cuba. It is the second largest island of the archipelago and lies in the Caribbean Sea 177 km south of Havana.

You can get there only by plane)

Here it is now, and we'll fly

It will be about 70 photos.

We meet a man with a full bucket of turtles ...



It turns out to Cayo Largo has a program to save sea turtles.
2 people live on the island permanently. They collect turtle eggs and keep them in an incubator ... until they hatch ... and then released into the sea ...



A guy came up with a nice perk yourself - offers tourists a release turtles into the sea denyuzhku yourself)))



Go with him to the sea ...
