Baracoa: Cuba's outpost on the Atlantic In the America's with David Yetman
About 700 miles east of Havana, sits the old town of Baracoa. Nearly cut off from the rest of the nation by high mountains, Baracoa has its own heritage of mixed Caribbean and African culture, evolving without interference from the outside. The long road trip shows Cuba's vast sugar cane fields and the complex geology of mountain ranges, bays and cliffs.
