Guamá, Cuba:

Just a 30 minute drive from the Bay of Pigs in Cuba is the village of Guamá, a rather touristy reconstruction of a village as inhabited by Cuba’s indigenous people, the Taino.

It had long been thought that these people had been extirpated by the Spanish conquerors in the 15th century but it is now recognised that there are pockets of the descendants of these people still living in remote areas of Cuba.

Apart from the huts, these wooden sculptures of the supposed early inhabitants are what you’ll see there.

If you have time to visit – and it will take most of a day from Havana – the trip is worthwhile as it has to include a boat-ride across a lake they say is crocodile infested. I never saw any but I didn’t trail my hand in the water just in case.
