Cienfuegos Dolphinarium
Laguna Guanaroca is a mangrove-rimmed saline lake southeast of Cienfuegos. It's second only to Las Salinas on the Península de Zapata as a bird magnet, and is Cienfuegos Province's only area protegida (natural protected area). Trails lead to a viewing platform where flamingos, pelicans and tocororos (trogons; Cuba's national bird) are regular visitors.
Plant life includes pear, lemon and avocado trees, as well as the güira, the fruit used to make maracas. Tours take around two hours and include a short hike and a boat trip to the far side of the lake. Arrive early to maximize your chances of seeing a variety of birds.

Lugares emblemáticos
Castillo de Jagua (Jagua Castle), also known as Castle of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Jagua, is located to the western side of the mouth of Cienfuegos bay, in Cuba.
.
It was designed by José Tantete in 1738 during the reign of Philip V of Spain, almost a century before the city of Cienfuegos was established.
The castle was built in only seven years due to the urgent need to defend the area from possible attacks by British pirates. It became the most important fortress in Cuba after those of Santiago and Havana.
The Renaissance-style castle was refurbished in 2010. Nowadays, along with the impressive views it has to offer over the bay, it also contains a small museum and a restaurant.
There are daily passenger ferries from the castle to Cienfuegos. From this side of the bay, it’s possible to see Juragua Nuclear Plant, built in 1976 in with the cooperation of the Soviet Union.

Parque Jose Marti
En este lugar se encuentra el punto de donde partió la construcción de la ciudad de Cienfuegos.
Sharing French and Italian influences, this theater on the northern side of Parque José Martí is grand from the outside (look for the gold-leafed mosaics on the front facade), but even grander within. Built between 1887 and 1889 to honor Venezuelan industrialist Tomás Terry, the 950-seat auditorium is embellished with Carrara marble, hand-carved Cuban hardwoods and whimsical ceiling frescoes.
In 1895 the theater opened with a performance of Verdi's Aida and it has witnessed numerous landmarks in Cuban music, as well as performances by the likes of Enrico Caruso and Anna Pavlova, and pulsates with plays and concerts still.

The Moorish-inspired architecture in Cienfuegos may be surprising, and the Palacio del Valle stands out as the city's prime example of this style that enjoyed a moment of popularity at the beginning of the 20th century. This palace, located on Punta Gorda, was built between 1913 and 1917 and it's is a visual delight, both inside and out. With its Moorish tiles and mosaics, carvings and intricate woodwork—all made of imported materials—the building was referred to as a lavish, architectural caprice at the time of its construction. Today it houses a restaurant and terrace bar and also hosts occasional cultural events.
