Known as "The Hero City", is the second biggest city in Cuba. A sleazy and highly-charged metropolis where music streams out of hidden doorways. Santiago is a nexus point for music, culture, rebellion and ideas.
From here you can visit El Cobre (Cuba holiest pilgrimage site), La Gran Piedra and La Isabelica in Parque Nacional Baconao.
