Cienfuegos is a marine city that zigzags a wonderful bay recognized as one of the best in the Caribbean for its dimension,
depth and safeness.
The bay of Cienfuegos, at 88 sq km, is the third largest in Cuba and has attracted industry and shipping, which you will
see around the city.
A large shrimp fleet sails from here, the port is a major exporter of sugar with 12 sugar cane
