Information About

Guanabo, Cuba




]]
Guanabo is a town in the Ciudad De La Habana Province of Cuba . It is located within the municipality of Habana Del Este halfway between the centre of Havana and Santa Cruz Del Norte , at the mouth of the ''Guanabo River'', between the Atlantic Ocean coast and the ''Sierra del Canchón'' (mountain range).

Guanabo is a seaside Touristic town, with small scale villas and a few low rise hotels.

The town was founded in 1800 . In 1827 it was the place where the ''Peñas Altas'' uprising was crushed by troops from Havana (Peñas Altas is a neighbourhood east of Guanabo).

In the late 1990 's it was known as a Sexual Tourism destination. Prostitution has since been cracked down by large police interventions, and (as of 2005) it is not uncommon to see police units constantly patroling the town.
