From an administrative point of view, it belongs to the municipality of Caibari\u00e9n in the Cuban province of Villa Clara. Internationally it is recognized for the beauty of its natural environment and the existence of numerous hotels of high standard.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Together with its similar Ensenachos, Las Brujas, Franc\u00e9s and Cobos, among many others (around 500), it is part of the insular subsystem Cayos de la Herradura, being the most important biologically and superficially. It is linked to the island of Cuba along with Las Brujas, Ensenachos, Maj\u00e1 and Espa\u00f1ol de Adentro -in the vicinity of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caibari%C3%A9n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Caibari\u00e9n<\/a>\u2013 by a 48-kilometer roadway (the Pedrapl\u00e9n Caibari\u00e9n-Cayo Santa Mar\u00eda) that deserved the international Puente de Alc\u00e1ntara award for the best Ibero-American civil work in terms of special care for the environment in its layout and execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>History<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Due to its particular isolation from the large island of the Cuban archipelago (approximately 28 km), until recently Cayo Santa Maria was known only to fishermen from the northern coast of the island, although archaeological remains of aboriginal settlements and more recent human groups have been found, which denote its use for charcoal extraction and subsistence cattle ranching.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It would not be until the construction of the pedrapl\u00e9n that links it to the big island, which would be accessible to present generations from the hand of tourism, but be surrounded, since ancient times, a unique atmosphere of legend and mystery in which love and piracy are combined, as the alleged burial on one of its beaches of the treasure of Mazzarelli and Tambasco, reckless pirates of the eighteenth century, or the story of Rosa Mar\u00eda Coraje desperately trying to find her fianc\u00e9 through their sandbanks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Main Sights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>In addition to the extensive and beautiful beaches that focus the tourist offer and the natural green of its preserved environment, several are the attractions of the region, such as the neighbors Cayo Las Brujas and Cayo Ensenachos, the Aquarium Delfinario Cayo Santa Maria, the Marina Gaviota Las Brujas, the ship San Pascual, the fauna refuge Cayo Franc\u00e9s, the national parks Los Caimanes and Caguanes, as well as the patrimonial cities of Remedios (cradle of the parrandas) and Sagua la Grande (jewel of the eclectic and neoclassical, cradle of the most universal of the Cuban painters, Wifredo Lam; of the considered father of modern urology, Joaqu\u00edn Albarr\u00e1n; and of the bolero singer Antonio Mach\u00edn), port of Caibari\u00e9n (native land of the composer Manuel Corona, author of anthological themes such as Santa Cecilia and Longina) and historical of Santa Clara (known for the epic of the young Argentine-Cuban guerrilla Ernesto Guevara de la Serna and the benevolent Marta Abreu, benefactor of the city).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is also possible to visit the World Heritage Cities of Trinidad and Cienfuegos, the nicknamed Villa del Yayabo (Sancti Sp\u00edritus) and the mineral-medicinal water spas of San Jos\u00e9 del Lago (Mayajigua) and Elguea, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lujocuba.com\/destinations\/sancti-spiritus-cuba\/topes-de-coyantes-trinidad\/\">Topes de Collantes Natural Park<\/a>, El Nicho, the Hanabanilla intramontano lake, the Mogotes of Jumagua (second formation of its type in importance of the country, where the strict local endemic known as Palmita de Jumagua lives), the cavern Martin Inferno (possessor of one of the biggest stalagmites of the orb) and the blue hole, Ojo del M\u00e9gano (deepest submarine cave of Cuba), among others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>
