Foreign direct investment in Cuba is a source of development for the country, and one of the priority sectors is tourism, especially health tourism. In this context, the  International Health Centers  stand out as a unique opportunity for investors interested in the growing health market on the island.

Among these centers, El Yarey shines like a jewel in the middle of the Sierra Maestra. The center is located about 8 km from the picturesque municipality of Jiguaní, at the crossroads between the eastern provinces of Granma and Santiago de Cuba.

Located in a pre-mountainous geographic area belonging to the most important mountain massif of the Cuban archipelago, El Yarey is a natural wonder. With a territorial extension of approximately 1 km² and soils of volcanic origin, it rises 233 m above sea level, being the highest altitude in many kilometers around. For such reason, from the hill, the view of the valley that surrounds it becomes a unique landscape.

The historical richness of the place adds value to the experience. Nearby are located two important sites of the Cuban history: Dos Ríos, where the death of the apostle José Martí took place, and the camp of El Generalísimo, Máximo Gómez. These locations give El Yarey a special character.

The environment also has nearby tourist attractions such as the Cupaynicú Botanical Garden, a true natural treasure, and "El Fuerte de Jiguaní", a hill with impressive fortification ruins which represent the highest point to observe the city of Santiago de Cuba.

The site is part of a migratory bird corridor, which allows the observation of various species of herons, Florida ducks, iguanas and endemic birds, delighting nature lovers and ecotourism. It has an abundant, wooded vegetation, where timber trees such as yarua, Indian carob, mahogany and cedar predominate. The richness of its flora and fauna makes it an ideal destination for nature tourism.

The facilities of El Yarey International Health Center are designed to provide maximum comfort, with 14 bungalows built in the traditional Cuban bohíos style, with guano and masonry roofs. It also has two ranches: Don Pedro and Ranchón de la Piscina, which provide perfect spaces for the well-being and enjoyment of visitors.

The center is an attractive setting for wellness and nature tourism, as it is surrounded by an extensive protected area, with trails suitable for activities such as horseback riding, paragliding and hiking.

If you are an investor looking for opportunities in the health and tourism sector, El Yarey International Health Center in Cuba is an incomparable option. Join us and be part of this exciting journey for the foreign investment in Cuban health, looking for a future of wellness, nature and success. We are waiting for you at El Yarey!
