Cayo Largo del Sur, Cuba
The key is of karst and coral origin, with low vegetation of coasts in the central and southern part and mangroves on the North coast where there are abundant canals and lagoons with rich marine life. It is largely in a natural state and quite well preserved. It has about 20 km of high-quality sandy beaches, with clear waters and fine white sand, many of them almost virgin, which in fact constitute its main tourist attraction.
The fauna is rich in species, especially birds and fish, although here the iguanas stand out for their popularity, a species of reptiles that despite their threatening appearance are, like all other animals of these keys and Cuba in general, completely harmless
Sol Cayo Largo
Cayo Largo does not have a resident population, only hotel employees and other service or infrastructure facilities (airport, power plant, water desalination plant, marina, others) live temporarily in two small towns called Combinado (west) and Los Cocos (east of the key).
