Cuba offers you bright colours, enticing tastes, joyous people, warm beaches, lovely natural attractions and fascinating cities, a great place for your holidays. This is a land of enchanting contrasts and friendly culture, inventive people whose happiness is contagious.
The Cuban archipelago consist of the island of Cuba, the isle of Youth and around 4195 other cays and islets for a total land area of 42,854 square miles (110,992 square kilometres).
Various tones of blue and green combine to form a perfect setting at each of the Cuban beaches, weather pristine or developed; warm or cool; and with golden, white or dark sand – but always enchanting and filled with legends and things to explore.
The seabed of Cuba’s insular shelf, which is 27,027 square miles (70,000 square kilometres) in size, contains areas which Jacques-Yves Cousteau (participant of the 1992 World Underwater Photography Championship) described as the most spectacular and varied on earth.
The Cuban archipelago has 525 diving sites, located in 15 important zones: Maria La Gorda, Cayo Levisa, Havana, Cayo Largo, Varadero, Bay of Pigs, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Los Jardines del Rey and Los Jardines de la Reina, and the list goes on.
In Cuba nature holidays have all the conditions for making your stay a magical adventure. There are many kinds of nature tourism: hiking, cycling, horseback riding, spelunking , nature observation, nature photography and scuba diving in caves.
Some of Cuba’s cities are like living museums of tremendous enchantment; UNESCO has declared Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Havana to be part of the World Cultural Heritage.
These are just some reasons why Cuba can be a perfect destination for your next holidays. There is a universe of options that you can go for. If you fancy swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its vibrant cities you have that for granted.
