Top things to do in Camaguey, Cuba

Heading to Camaguey? It’s one of my favorite stops in Cuba. The city’s labyrinth of charming streets may not be the easiest to navigate but whichever direction you turn you’ll be treated to something special. Beautiful squares, art galleries, antique car shows, and creativity around every corner.
Art lovers should spend the day cruising around to the many galleries in town. Be sure to stop by and see Pepe Gutierrez, a leather sculpture who spent 30 years perfecting his craft.
Next visit Martha Jimenez, one of the most important contemporary Cuban artists who has more than 250 exhibitions worldwide. Then there’s the playful and somewhat provocative creations of Magdiel.
Tinajones are the local symbol of Camaguey, they were used to hold rain water before the aqueducts were built. The Casanova family is famous tinajone makers.
Take a drive to the countryside and visit King Ranch. At one time King Ranch was the largest ranch in the United States. One of their first international ventures was here in Cuba where their culture is still alive and well.
A short horse ride away will lead you to El Cafetal, you can visit the local school in this small village and enjoy some time with the locals.
Back in the city of Camaguey; visit the award winning Arlequin dance group. It’s an after school program where the kids have become pros in son, mambo and salsa to name a few.
The Camagüey Valet is one of the 2 most prestigious companies in Cuba and they practice here on the grounds of an 80 year old estate in the center of town. A peak inside the workshop shows hand sown costumes and point shoes made right on the property.
For dinner, head to one of the most beautiful squares in the city.
For a romantic night, have dinner at paladar Restaurante 1800.
Just outside the restaurant the club “Autos Clasicos” or Classic Cars meets to show off their original classic cars on Plaza San Juan de Dios. You can also catch a ride home if you’d like and I would definitely recommend it.

It's been 6 years since I left my Camaguey where I was born. Soon I will meet him again. Greetings from Colorado.

I WAS BORN IN CAMAGUEY. ABUR. AND RISING IN SANTA CRUZ DEL SUR. WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE NEXT YEAR.

[@jvarela965]

My mother was born in Moron and raised in Camaguey. She fled Cuba in 1960 and died in 2010. Told me many stories of this part of Cuba.

[@lovecuba7979]

I had two days and nights in Camagüey Nov. 2016 and it was great.

[@cubatravelservices]

Der B. It truly is a charming place, isn't it? We're glad you thought it was great!

[@kozmickarmakoala3526]

OMG !! I can't believe you said "ABUR" !! That is VERY OLD SCHOOL CUBAN !!!

[@TheMaracuya9]

Lo heredamos de los vascos, en Camagüey todavía se conservan muchas palabras coloquiales 😊

[@LourdesCruz-Cuba]

I really loved your video. Finally someone who does justice to the city of Camagüey! Travel agencies sometimes offer Camagüey as quick stop in a trip from the West (usually Havana, Viñales or Varadero) to the East (usually Santiago)and advice travelers to don't miss a lot of time in Camagüey.... sad, but true....

[@cubatravelservices]

+Lourdes Cruz Thank you for the compliment. Glad we represented Camagüey in a positive way.

[@Jonnytwotimesnetwork]

Lourdes Cruz my family was one of the originals in this town. To see how it looks now is actually very sad. Glad you got a closer look at something trendy that the tourists that are inferior to you haven’t seen lmao. Now if you excuse me I’m on my way to this town called Detroit, the tour busses normally just drive through it but I’m paying a doctor 50 cents an hour to drive me around so I can take Instagram pics in front of homes while they crumble around their families with a smug self satisfying smile , jk I won’t do that, it would be unethical and trashy.

I passed through Camaguey on my drive from Puerto Padre to Las Tunas to Havana. I was surprised how little had been done in the main thru streets in Camaguey city (Avenida Libertad/Avenida Martires). But I want to go back and breathe the toxic air.
