Jibacoa (Manicaragua)

Jibacoa is a Cuban village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet) of the municipality of Manicaragua, in Villa Clara Province.

The Jibacoa River flows to the east of the settlement and, next to it, is located a karst cave named Cueva del Guanajo.

It lies near the border point of Villa Clara Province with the ones of Cienfuegos and Sancti Spíritus, and is crossed by the provincial highway 152, linking Manicaragua (17 km north) to Trinidad (44 km south), through the nature reserve of Topes de Collantes.

A secondary mountain road, 10 km long, links it to the village of Güinía de Miranda.

[1] The village is 46 km far from Cumanayagua, 74 from Cienfuegos and 76 from Santa Clara.
