Steeped in the history of Spanish colonialism and post-war revolution, Cuba’s unique culture is still very much in evidence today, from its stunning colonial architecture to the old American cars cruising the streets of Havana.
As well as the opportunity to explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, the visitor can experience breathtaking natural scenery, preserved habitats, coffee and sugar plantations, and a wealth of unspoilt tropical beaches.
Cuba’s highlights
Western Cuba,
home of the tobacco plantations and area of great natural beauty.
Havana, a unique city with perfectly preserved architecture, Chevvies
and Cadillacs cruising the cobbled streets, and music emanating from every
corner.
Varadero beaches stretching along a 12–mile peninsula of pure white sand
and clear turquoise waters, an idyllic holiday playground.
Trinidad,
a small town virtually unchanged since Spanish colonial times with pastel
coloured houses, wrought iron balconies and cobblestone streets.
Guardalavaca on the north eastern coast, offering stunning, unspoilt
beaches bordered by lush vegetation, the ideal place for getting away from it
all.
Santiago, Cuba’s atmospheric second city and scene of some of Cuba’s
most important revolutionary battles and host to the country’s biggest annual
carnival.
