With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Bayamo, 35 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Casa Natal de Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, Paseo Bayames and Ventana de Luz Vázquez. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Santiago de Cuba, 45 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be La Gran Piedra Lookout. (But we’d also recommend San Juan Hill and San Juan Memorial Hill.)
