Caibarien is located in the province of Santa Clara on the northern coast of the country with a population of 38,000
Church: Established in 1902. 94 active members
Economy: Sustained by fishing and tourism. At one time it was a busy shipping port with several sugar mills. Those have all been shut down, severely damaging the city’s economic base. The heart of the tourism takes place in the archipelago of islands (Los Cayos) about 20 miles NE of the city. Many of the Cubans who work there live in Caibarien and travel there by bus.
