Why will you enjoy your Cuba vacation?

Cuba has always been attractive. I love her for her uniqueness, creativity and spirit of survival. I love Cuba because despite 60 years of failure, it remains an optimistic and open place. Walk down the street with a Cuban friend and in one block you'll get five handshakes, four kisses, three "Dime Hermano!" And at least two invitations to someone's home.

Cuba is ...

Cuba looks like a prince in a poor man's cloak; gold dust lingers behind sometimes dilapidated facades. It is these rich dichotomies that make traveling here exciting. In this country stuck in a temporary imbalance and a shocking economic embargo that has lasted more than half a century, you can say goodbye to everyday assumptions and expect surprises.

Historical heritage

Without modern intervention, Cuba's colonial cities haven't changed much since musket pirates stalked the Caribbean. Havana, Trinidad and Camaguey are particularly thrilled with atmosphere and architecture, where grand squares and cobbled streets tell tales of wealth and intrigue.

Amazing beaches

It doesn't matter if you are staying at a luxury hotel in Havana or exploring the rural charm of Viñales. Don't miss the beach resort town of Varadero, this beach paradise should still be seen as part of your Cuban travel plans.

A US trade embargo with Cuba in 1960 led to the immediate separation of thousands of Detroit-built 1940s and 1950s cars from their spare parts. Convertibles have always been popular for their year-round tropical weather. Don't miss out on a photo shoot in Havana. The area around the Capitol is a flattering replica of the Capitol building in Washington DC, adorned with 50-year-old American cars during the day.

Cuba in photos

When you think of the Caribbean, you are probably thinking of Cuba. It is a lonely acacia tree, looming against a horizon stretching back to eternity. It is a snowy mountain almost at the equator and within sight of rugged deserts. It's a lush, palm-fringed ocean coastline, it's the Great Rift Valley that once threatened to tear the continent apart, and it's dense forests that resemble the heart of the continent.
