About this site
El Barco Hundido lies off the coast of Pinar del Río, Cuba's westernmost province, in waters along the Caribbean side of the island. The name translates simply to "the sunken ship," a common designation given to small wreck sites along this coast. This part of Cuba's coastline is known for its coral formations and is accessed from towns along the province's shoreline.
