Accidental encounter

The most beautiful sceneries are not advertised in glossy magazines, nor are they featured in popular TV shows. They are found by accident. I think that is awesome being able to discover things yourself and see them for what they really are. This summer I had a memorable accidental encounter with a place called “La Arboleda.” We were driving with no reason in a rainy day and ended up in this unforgettable place. Purity and tranquility were the first two words that came to mind when I stepped into La Arboleda’s possessions. Everything was so dazzle green! It seemed like someone had painted all trees and grass bright green colors just before our arrival. It was simply UNREAL!

“La Arboleda,” named so because of its beautiful grove of trees, is located in the Province of Matanzas, Cuba. Hidden between hills and mountains, this place is not easy to be found. But it is worth visiting! The tropical greenery, warm breezes from the Canimar River, chirping birds – all this makes “La Arboleda” the perfect vacation destination for those tired of the busy dust-laden city. Ride a horse, rent a kayak or a water bicycle, or just flop onto hammocks and enjoy some delicious Cuban food. There is something for everyone to enjoy!

I felt so relaxed after staying in “La Arboleda.” I enjoyed the food, the cool water of the Canimar River and made lots of pictures of the flora and fauna of this amazing place. I highly recommend “La Arboleda” if you want to disconnect and enjoy a calm stay in close connection with untainted nature. Discover it for yourself!
