Cuba

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Old Havana is a maze of cobbled streets, colonial buildings, and lively plazas. Explore historic sites like Plaza Vieja, El Capitolio, and the Malecón while soaking up street music, classic cars, and vibrant Cuban culture.

Located in western Cuba, this lush valley is known for dramatic limestone hills (mogotes), tobacco farms, and horseback riding trails. Visitors can tour cigar plantations, hike through caves, or relax in the peaceful countryside. It’s Cuba’s top eco-tourism and rural adventure spot.

This beautifully preserved colonial town is like a living museum with cobblestone streets, pastel buildings, and 18th-century architecture. Visit Plaza Mayor, local art galleries, and nearby Playa Ancón. At night, enjoy live music and salsa dancing at Casa de la Música.

One of the Caribbean’s best beaches, Varadero boasts 20 kilometers of white sand and turquoise water. It’s Cuba’s most popular resort area, perfect for swimming, diving, and all-inclusive relaxation. Despite being tourist-friendly, the beach retains its natural beauty and charm.

Havana’s iconic seaside promenade stretches 8 kilometers along the coast. It’s a favorite sunset spot for locals and tourists alike. Stroll past colorful buildings, fishers, musicians, and lovers as the sea crashes against the wall. It captures the soul of the city.

Housed in the former presidential palace, this museum chronicles Cuba’s revolutionary history, from the struggle against Batista to the rise of Fidel Castro. Exhibits include Che Guevara’s belongings and military artifacts. The building itself is an architectural gem full of history.

Known as “The Pearl of the South,” Cienfuegos offers elegant French-influenced architecture, a stunning bay, and relaxed coastal vibes. Highlights include Parque Martí, the Teatro Tomás Terry, and the Palacio de Valle. It’s a quieter alternative to Havana, rich in charm.

Part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago, Cayo Coco is a tropical paradise with powdery beaches, coral reefs, and luxury resorts. Ideal for snorkeling, diving, and birdwatching—especially flamingos—it’s one of Cuba’s most beautiful offshore escapes.

Hidden in the Escambray Mountains, El Nicho is a series of waterfalls and natural pools surrounded by jungle. A scenic drive and short hike lead to crystal-clear waters where you can swim and picnic. It’s a favorite day trip from Cienfuegos or Trinidad.

Located just outside Trinidad, this beach offers calm waters, soft sand, and great snorkeling. Unlike busier resorts, Playa Ancón feels more relaxed and authentic. It’s ideal for travelers who want to combine colonial sightseeing with beach lounging.
