The 41-year-old, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, will also tour the Expeditionary Legal Complex, where military tribunals of detainees have recently begun.
Rubio will be in Guantanamo Bay throughout the day and will return to Miami Tuesday evening.
Rubio's parents were born in Cuba and emigrated to the United States in the 1950s.
