Pack your bags for Cuba - we will tell you why it is worth flying more than ten thousand kilometers and visiting this warm country!
More than beaches and cigars
If you think that, apart from these two attractions, Cuba has nothing else to surprise, then in vain. Because there are also wild mangrove forests in which pink flamingos live and enjoy untouched nature. Lovers of archaeology and history will be fond of Cuba's national parks and biosphere reserves. In Havana and Trinidad, you will find ancient palaces and mansions that have been preserved here since colonial times. These historical monuments are even protected by UNESCO.
A few more ideas for an educational walk: the Cathedral, the Hemengway House Museum, the El Morro Fortress, the Malecón, the Prado and the Capitol.
We still do not forget about the beaches
Yes, there is something to see in Cuba besides them, but Cuban beaches are among the world's top best, so it would be strange to ignore them in our list. The beaches of the Atlantic and Caribbean are regularly included in world rankings, but at the same time they do not issue high checks for tourists for visiting. All coastal areas here are municipal and free for locals and guests, and the purest water and snow-white sand only increase their attractiveness.
The longest Cuban beach stretches for almost 22 kilometers, it is located in Varadero. On the beach there are family hotels, and options for newlyweds, and water parks, and clubs. At the same time, the cost of services and dishes in Varadero is one of the most affordable in Cuba as a whole, and the international airport is also a 30-minute drive from beaches and hotels.
A few more options for Cuban islands with gorgeous beaches: Cayo Coco, Holguin, Cayo Largo and Cayo Guillermo.
Underwater Activities
Just lying on the beach in the sun or walking on sightseeing tours is a great option for a vacation. But Cuba does not limit you to these entertainments. Diving and snorkeling on the Cuban islands are a source of pride for locals and admiration among guests of the country. There are living coral reefs, exotic marine life, and sunken ships. Most importantly, all this can be perfectly viewed through the purest water.
For beginners, lessons and even entire courses in diving, wreck diving and snorkeling are offered. By the way, there is no need to choose a special season for a trip for the sake of underwater activities, because they are available in Cuba almost all year round.
A few more options for water and land formats: yacht training, kitesurfing, classic surfing, fishing, rafting, mountaineering, exploring caves.
Getting out of the urban routine
Work, household chores, trips to the store for a mountain of groceries for a week - all this will not be here if you choose Cuba as a vacation destination. Because the atmosphere on the streets of Cuban cities is completely different from what we are used to: here people dance near their own houses, and street musicians accompany them. In summer, a large-scale carnival takes place here, covering the whole country at once. In general, a round-the-clock atmosphere of joy, carelessness and simple human pleasure from life is provided to you.
A few more ways to immerse yourself in the mood of Cuba: try the world-famous cocktails that were born here, such as Cuba Libre, Mojitos and Daiquiri. But remember about moderation!
Expensive and hard-to-find visas are not needed
This is another significant plus in favor of Cuba - the country does not impose restrictions on the geographical homeland of tourists and does not even ask for a vaccination certificate. To get into the country, you only need a questionnaire filled out twelve hours before the flight, a certificate of income, round-trip air tickets, and insurance in case of medical intervention.
Prepare your documents, pack your bags and welcome to the Cuban islands!
