Tour Overview

The Zapata Swamp is the largest swamp in the Caribbean located south of the city of Matanzas, 1’30 hours from Varadero. It mostly consists of a large swamp, partially covered by forests and treasures one of the most complete wildlife reserves in the Caribbean, rich in birds and animals. This site was declared a Biosphere Reserve and the area around the Laguna del Tesoro has been designated a national park, the Great Montemar Natural Park. The Caribbean coast, with its sandy beaches, attracts divers and fans of other water sports.
