Experience it in the country's vibrant nightlife. In the spectacularly unspoiled coral that cradles the island. And, of course, in the dazzling sweep of those glorious, sun–soaked beaches. The real Cuba is waiting for you, in the rich history of the New World's oldest cities. It's “the most beautiful land human eyes have ever seen.” At least, that's what Christopher Columbus said. But don't take his word for it. Discover it for yourself.
From the famous white–sand playground of Playa Varadero, to the giant dunes of Papa Hemingway's beloved Cayo Guillermo, to the secluded beauty of María la Gorda, there's no better place on earth to find your bliss.
For a small country, Cuba has a very large soul. It's all owing to a culture which is incredibly rich, vibrant and immensely varied. Art, music, dance, theatre — all are nurtured, celebrated and exuberantly enjoyed, every day of the year, in every corner of the country.
Lose yourself in a romance with the past, in the Caribbean's most fascinating cities. With 8 World Heritage Sites from one end of the island to the other, there are magnificent churches, castles, forts, museums, galleries and revolutionary sites to explore virtually everywhere.
Thick mangroves. Abundant wetlands. Towering rainforests. And a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna (including the bee–hummingbird — the tiniest bird in the world.) Fully one-fifth of Cuba's land is under some form of environmental protection, making it a lush landscape to explore on foot, horseback, bicycle or guided tour.
