About this site
Las Cruces lies within Jardines de la Reina, the protected archipelago of small keys off the south coast of Ciego de Avila province in Cuba. This marine park sits well offshore in the Gulf of Ana Maria and is reached only by liveaboard, as the area is a designated no-take marine reserve with tightly controlled access.
