Arcos de Canasí Bacunayagya is a Cuban village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet) of the municipality of Santa Cruz del Norte, in Mayabeque Province.
Due to frequent flooding, the town was moved to higher ground in 1808, on the actual location.
It was its own municipality (administering an area of 125 square kilometres (48 sq mi)[3]) of the Matanzas Province until 1976, when its territories were re-distributed to the Santa Cruz del Norte municipality of the La Habana Province.
Farmers offering cheese and fruit on the side of the Via Blanca highway are an everyday sight.
Intense oil exploitation is active on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean just north of the town.
