A skeleton and other fossils were discovered in the Cueva de Musulmanes, a small cave inside the Reserva Ecologica Varahicacos (Varahicacos Ecological Preserve). According to research, the skeleton, which is dated between 500 BC and early 500 AD, belongs to a guy between the ages of 25 and 35.
The Varadero region's signature plant, the hicaco, is whence the name of the Hicacos Peninsula originated. The eco-reserve resident plant is highly prized for the flavour of its white fruit and its traditional medical applications. Other natural species can also be seen, such as the enormous "El Patriarca" cactus, which is more than 500 years old.
The Varadero open-air market, where you can discover a wide variety of handicrafts and souvenirs, is just next to a city park called Parque Central Varadero.
One of the most popular things to do in Varadero Cuba is to visit La Casa del Ron or the House of Rum Varadero. When you visit the Varadero Rum House, you can sample a variety of rums, from the traditional dark and light varieties to those with flavours like chocolate and vanilla or other surprises you've probably never tried before!
The Delfinario (Dolphinarium), which is a popular tourist destination in Varadero, is situated in the Punta Hicacos Nature Park. It provides four daily dolphin shows for both kids and adults to enjoy. It has a fantastic pool with rich greenery surrounding it.
The Iglesia Santa Elvira, which was constructed in 1938, is said to be the area's oldest church. It is free for everyone to visit during the day and is rather small and serene. The details and layout give it a special character to see for those interested in history or architecture.
The Galeria Espacio 34, which combines a museum and an art gallery, specialises in distinctive Cuban designs in art, particularly through photography, paintings, and sculptures.
South of the Varadero peninsula is where you'll find the lush oasis known as Josone Park (Parque Josone). It's a place to unwind in the unspoiled surroundings of flourishing tropical fauna and lush foliage. Find family-friendly activities, a boating lake, pubs, and restaurants. Around 22 acres (9 hectares) in size, Josone Park is a favourite spot for families, couples and artists.
