Mesoamerican Exhibition, Santiago de Cuba
© Jack K Ski
The Mesoamerican Exhibition, present in the Cuban province of Santiago, is one of the main attractions of the Baconao Park. However, before going to visit the exhibition, it is recommended that you review the meaning of the term Mesoamerica to locate yourself geographically and thus soak up even the smallest detail of what awaits you. When we speak of Mesoamerica, we are using a geohistorical term developed by scholars to refer to the territory occupied by pre-Hispanic groups, that is, the groups settled prior to the Spanish invasion.
The Mesoamerican Exhibition is, therefore, the cultural center that best shows the ways of life of the indigenous people through, above all, rock art. Ideal for you if in addition to seeing beautiful and exotic landscapes, you want to learn a little more about the history of the impressive country for which you have chosen on vacation.
