Travel guide
Get in
There are two trains per day from Havana, but knowing the unreliability of Cuba's train system, don't count on it. Hiring a car is your best option. There are also collective taxis along the carretera central.
Sleep
Options are very limited. There is one hotel. Ask locally about a casa particular.

According to a law approved by the Cuban National Assembly in August 2010, Artemisa became the capital city of the newly formed Artemisa Province, which comprises eight municipalities of the former La Habana Province and three from Pinar del Río. It has an area of 642.0 square kilometers and a population of over 86,444 inhabitants (2022).
Due to its coffee crops in the past and the bucolic local landscape, it has received the nickname "Jardín de Cuba" (Garden of Cuba) and is also known as the "Villa Roja" (Red Village) due to the color of its soils.
