Cayo Largo ...
is a small key located at the southeastern end of the Canarreos archipelago (which belongs to Cuba). The islet is approximately 80 kms south of the main island of Cuba (177 kilometers from Havana and 140 from Nueva Gerona).
This small limestone island is 28 kms long and no more than 3 kms wide. Fine white sand beaches stretch out along the south coastline for more than 20 km. The north coast is mostly mangroves and salt pans.
Cayo Largo has no permanent inhabitants (except for birds and iguanas of course! :-) Cubans come to Cayo Largo only to work in the hotels.
They work for 20 continuous days and then go back to their families at Isla de la Juventud (Island of Youth), or other cities on the main Island of Cuba, for the rest of the month.
While in Cayo Largo, they live in small apartments located in the only village on the island called « Isla del Sol » where the marina is located as well as Restaurants, turtle farm, dive center, polyclinic, etc. Cayo Largo has a modern international airport where large aircraft can now land directly. The name of the airport is: Vilo Acuña.
