Towards the ocean front resort, it doesn’t take much imagination to realize why at first glance Christopher Columbus proclaimed this to be "the most beautiful land that human eyes have ever seen." The sight of thick green tropical jungle fronted by chalk white sands and translucent turquoise waters must have been a heavenly sight for the famous explorer when he dropped anchor here. Luckily this scene has changed little in five centuries, and those who travel to Cuba’s northeastern resorts can still enjoy this idyllic Caribbean beach paradise to this day.
