Laguna de la Leche

The settlement of Moron and the Laguna Grande of Morón, commonly known as Laguna de la Leche, are located in the Ciego de Avila province in central Cuba. Its waters' unusually milk-like whiteness is how it got their amusing name. The calcium sulfate and gypsum found at the lake's bottom, which are responsible for its unusual coloring, are thought to be the source of this phenomena. This magnificent location has an 8-mile diameter, an approximate 9-foot depth, and communicates with the sea on its northern side, offering a variety of delightful sceneries to people who visit. The area has a variety of highly beneficial trees in its flora, including occuje, oak, red mangrove, patabán, and palm trees, as well as a variety of duck species, yaguazas, coras, manatees, and caimans, among other animals. Golden snapper, dolphin, shark, and mullet are among the marine species.


The Morón Yack Club y La Atarraya, a bar-restaurant perched on stilts in the water and a sizable ranchón where you can currently enjoy delectable seafood, fish, and paella dishes, is one of the locations to enjoy Laguna de la Leche. There are more dining and entertainment options, such as the underground nightclub Cueva. The summertime water carnivals in Laguna de la Leche, a long-standing custom in which the boats that take part in competitions and parades of colors, music, and choreography are adorned, are the most notable aspect of the city. The Museum of Archeology and History, the Railroad Terminal, the ruins of La Trocha de Júcaro a Morón, and other fascinating city locations are all close to Laguna de la Leche and provide an additional draw to make the journey much more enjoyable.
