AlexChe Guevarra
Santa Clara is a fun town to visit and is a little more than an hour to the north-east of Cienfuegos. The resting place of Che Guevara is the big draw card in Santa Clara and this attraction comes with a fascinating mausoleum and museum devoted to this revolutionary, along with monuments and statues galore. The Plaza de la Revolucion has a large statue of Che, while cantinas and cafés line part of Main Street. -
