When we think of Cuba, its crystal-clear beaches and rich cultural heritage come to mind. However, beyond its tourist attractions, Cuba is a country open to foreign direct investment, especially in strategic sectors such as tourism and infrastructure modernization. In this context, one of the most outstanding projects is the revitalization of the Thermal Centers, among which is the San Vicente Thermal Center.
With a history dating back to 1901, this institution is located in the picturesque San Vicente Valley, in the municipality of Viñales, Pinar del Río province, just 180 km from Havana, the country's capital. Its mineromedicinal waters are a natural treasure: sulfurous, calcium-rich, and hypothermal, flowing at a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius from the San Vicente River springs.
The center's atmosphere is imbued with Cuban authenticity, with 53 rooms where cozy wooden cabins, traditional tiles, and windows allow visitors to enjoy the abundant local flora and fauna. This natural refuge, chosen in the past by illustrious figures such as the famous novelist Ernest Hemingway, promises an unparalleled rest experience, thanks to its privacy and the unique beauty of its natural surroundings.
Surrounded by lush nature, this tropical paradise not only features pine forests but also fascinating caves, including the famous Cueva del Indio, with an underground navigable river that captivates all who venture into its depths. Strategically located near the spectacular valleys and mogotes of Viñales, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, travelers can also enjoy the magnificent Mural de la Prehistoria, considered the largest outdoor fresco in the world, as well as the enriching Palenque de los Cimarrones Museum, which offers an in-depth look at the nature and heritage of the region.
If you are an investor seeking exciting opportunities at the intersection of the health and tourism sectors, you must consider the San Vicente Thermal Center. We invite you to join us and be part of this exciting journey toward a future where wellness, nature, and success in foreign investments in the health sector in Cuba converge. We await you!
