Cayo Largo del Sur is the official name while Cayo Largo is used for the short version. The island or "cayo" is located in at the eastern end of Los Canarreos Archipelago which is also known as Jardines de la Reina. Cayo Largo del Sur covers an area of 37 square kilometers and is part of the province of the Isla de la Juventud. The cayo is 135 kilometers from Nueva Gerona (the capital of the Isla de la Juventud) and is 125 kilometers from the south coast of Cienfuegos.

The name of this destination comes from its long shape, and its history dates from the aboriginal period, since remains and artifacts from the Siboney culture have been found on the cayo. Admiral Christopher Columbus landed on Cayo Largo del Sur in 1494, and many corsairs and pirates turned the cayo into their base of operations in the Caribbean Sea.
