Things to see and do Havana & Area

It covers a surface of 360 hectares subdivided into several enclosures suitable for species conservation. Its paved roads, which circulate all day long bus (included in the entrance price), offer enchanting panoramas and allow you to admire animals in peace and quiet.

It is in fact the largest park in the capital with its 670 hectares, where there is an amphitheatre (2 400 seats), a lake, an aquarium, an open-air library, a riding school and sports grounds. Don't miss the statue of Lenin. A narrow, narrow steam train (trencito) runs the park tower (9 km) by making a few stops, including near the swimming pool.

The museum presents a collection of comics, cartoons and cartoons.

This square - Parque de Los Martires (Martyrs' Park) - used to house the Cárcel de La Habana (Havana Prison), of which only two cells and the chapel where those condemned to death spent their last moments remain. It was built between 1834 and 1838, on the initiative of Captain General Don Miguel de Tacón, a governor fiercely opposed to any independence for the island, before being destroyed in 1939. Among its famous tenants was the great José Martí. Today, the park is a pleasant place to take a breath of fresh air.

This place owes its name to a historic event: in 1928, it hosted the 6 ^th Pan-American Conference. A tree of Fraternité (Ceiba) is planted in the land by representatives of the 21 participating countries. You will also see busts of some of the great men in the history of the American continent, including Simón Bolívar (Venezuela), José de San Martín (Argentina), Benito Juarez (Mexico), José Artigas (Uruguay), Francisco Morazán (Honduras), Alexandre Petionville (Haiti) and Abraham Lincoln (United States).

This park occupies a modest space, but it is located near the busiest area of Havana. There you will find a curious sculpture representing a Don Quixote, undressed (or, one could write, timeless and universal) on his Rossinante, which, for once, is rearing up. Sancho Panza, the companion of Cervantes' hero, is absent, but other monuments are dedicated to him in various places in the capital. A small emblematic square that attracts Cubans at any time of the day. Perfect for an ice cream or soda stop!

The square, dedicated to the memory of the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, who was one of the main actors in the Mexican revolution of 1910 against President Porfirio Díaz, and then the civil war following his departure in exile in 1911. The park, pleasant for a walk, has centuries-old trees with air roots.
