With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Matanzas, 30 miles away, has to offer. La Arboleda ought to be high up on your list here. Las Cuevas de Bellamar and Bellamar Caves are awesome attractions too. Jibacoa is another great option. It’s 45 miles away and has a variety of fascinating things to see and do. Jibacoa Beach, Central Camilo Cienfuegos and Puente de Bacunayagua are just the start.
