Yaguajay (Spanish pronunciation: [ɟʝaɣwaˈxaj]) is a municipality and town in the Sancti Spíritus Province of Cuba.

The Caguanes National Park (protecting swamp and coastal ecosystems, caves and mural art) is located in Yaguajay.

While Fidel led one force against Guisa, Masó and other towns, the other major offensive was directed at the capture of the city of Santa Clara, the capital of what was then Las Villas Province.

The "tank" was actually a large tractor encased in iron plates with attached makeshift flamethrowers on top.

Finally, on December 30, Lee, out of ammunition , surrendered his garrison under the realization they could not continue fighting without water, food, or munitions.

The next day, the combined forces of Cienfuegos, Guevara, and local revolutionaries under William Alexander Morgan captured Santa Clara in a fight of vast confusion.
