The River Park creates an opportunity to develop a project oriented towards the growing demand for luxury experiences that connect with nature and sustainable tourism. This way we can complement the world-renowned tourist offer in Cuba of sun and water with a different and unique type of tourism that is blended into nature.

ROLE

STATUS
Under functional development
To the north of the Matanzas province in Cuba, the Canimar river is powerfully located sheltering a natural paradise with a unique biodiversity.
This project seeks to create an active leisure experience along the entire river, for the whole family that conveys the history and nature of the country, creating a unique leisure ecosystem.
Solution
Our proposal for the water level on Canimar river was divided into three parts. The first one being ”The Park on Water”, a space with a direct relationship with the river and its natural features. Then, ”The Nest Hotel” which complements the existing Canimao Hotel with a section of exclusive rooms that sit at different levels above water, immersing the in an experience so special that they would never be able to forget it. Lastly, we will add walkways that, together with other paths and trails, communicate the areas of interest, combining leisure with culture and history and keeping the landscape as the central axis of the project. And laslty, we will create new pavillions and cultural centers, offering different points of engagement to explore local cultural highlights and attractions.
