Baracoa
Baracoa, in eastern Cuba, is known as the island's "First City" because it was the first permanent Spanish settlement, founded in 1512, and Cuba's first capital from 1518 to 1522; Christopher Columbus also visited the area in 1492. Its history combines TaĆno heritage, Spanish colonization, and a strong local identity shaped by the sea, rivers, and geographic isolation. Baracoa lies near the SaguaāBaracoa mountain region and the Alejandro de Humboldt area, one of the Caribbean's most important centers of biodiversity and endemism. The landscape features humid rainforest and evergreen forest, Cuban pine, ferns, and many endemic plants; its fauna includes birds, reptiles, and native mammals found in eastern Cuba.
