The province has the only land border of the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay.

Many buildings are comparable to those of the French Quarter of New Orleans in the U.S. state of Louisiana.

[clarification needed] The Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa mountains dominate the province, dividing both climate and landscape.

The northern coast, battered by prevailing winds, is the wettest part of the country, while the south, sheltered and dry, is the hottest.
