The Península de Zapata is a place of great importance in Cuba and not only because of the incalculable value of the natural reserve that occupies it but also because of the events that took place there and that marked the course of the Cuban nation. Although the area has always been the scene of numerous historical events, perhaps the most significant is the attack on the Bahía de Cochinos in which the United States and Cuba confronted each other.
