Cuba is an island country in the Caribbean, consisting of two large islands and several thousand islets. It is renowned for its warm welcome and heavenly beaches. Its cities are eclectic and diverse, just like its history. Hispanic-colonial architecture is mixed with more contemporary styles, such as Modern Art. Trinidad is famous for its colonial houses with pastel facades. Havana, nicknamed "The City of a Thousand Columns", is known for its architectural diversity, and the rainbow colors of its old city. Cigar lovers can visit the renowned "habanos" factories, while fans of vintage cars will appreciate the American models of the 60s that still circulate on the roads. The traces of the Revolution are still visible, as in Santiago De Cuba, the former capital of the country, or In Santa Clara, emblematic city of Che Guevara. Cuba has dozens of idyllic beaches, where lazing is the order of the day. The seaside resort of Varadero or the islet Cayo Levisa are very famous, but other places are to be discovered along the coast. Although there are many water activities, Cuba is above all a landmark for scuba diving, especially on the island of Youth. The mountainous terrain is appreciated by hikers, who can explore the Vinales Valley, or the surroundings of Baracoa, a natural site with tropical vegetation. Beyond an unrivalled welcome, you will be amazed by the nightlife of the cities. In the dancing bars, you can at leisure experience rumba, salsa or cha cha cha, enjoying special Cuban cocktails. Several times a year, festivals and popular festivals transform cities, as is the case during the carnival in Santiago or Havana. ◄
