Cayo Guillermo is much more smaller in size than its neighbor Cay Coco. Although is also a very charming place for its impeccable nature and the view of pink flamingos that nest in its vicinities. Of calcareous origin, it barely is 13 square kilometers, but its littoral with 5km beaches make it highly recommended. In fact one of its beaches El Pilar, is classified among the best in the Cuban archipelago because of the width of its sand strip, the clean of its sea and the quietness. The paradisiacal marine bottoms of this cay, comparable with a giant aquarium, can be observed thanks to the existence of a scuba diving center. This islet has excellent hotels, artificial lakes, swimming pools, and all the entertainment and possible services to guarantee you an unforgettable stay in an environment barely touched by the human presence. With a more integral offer, the Marlin Marina Cay Coco offers ship hauls complemented with other facilities. Cay Coco is tied to the terra firma by an auto way through the sea from Turiguano, north of Ciego de Avila, a location famous for its excellent rural landscape and lagoons where the fishing of the trout constitute its main attraction. The beauty of this ancient spot inspired the Literature Nobel Prize, the North American writer Ernest Hemingway, his well-known book Isles in the Gulf.
