The Must-See Attractions to Discover
Trinidad is a magnificent city with colonial architecture founded over 500 years ago. Its historic center, with its cobbled streets and restored buildings, invites you to take scenic walks. You can even stay there thanks to a large number of guesthouses, each as charming as the next. Note: "guesthouse" translates to "casa particular" in Spanish.
The Malecón is the legendary promenade of Havana. It stretches for about 8 km along the seafront of the Cuban capital, offering pleasant walks in the morning or at sunset.
The cayos are dreamlike small Cuban islands. Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, and Cayo Levisa, among others, offer beautiful beaches where relaxing in the Caribbean takes on its full meaning. Enjoy the postcard-perfect white sandy beaches!
During your road trip in Cuba, Vinales is a must-see. This charming village in the province of Pinar del Rio is renowned for its mogotes, rounded mountainous formations, and its tobacco plantations. Exploring the Vinales Valley on horseback is always an unforgettable moment during a tailor-made trip to Cuba.
Discover Cuba in a different way
Live to the rhythm of Cuban music and let yourself be drawn in one evening to the Café Taberna, the Habana Café, or the many lively places animated by groups of musicians paying homage to the Buena Vista Social Club through salsa, meringue, mambo, or rumba. For the more reserved, the cigar lounges will delight cigar enthusiasts and the paladares will please those who enjoy good food.
If you love partying, salsa, and mojitos, you'll be in heaven in Varadero. After a day of sunbathing on beautiful white sand beaches, you can continue relaxing in festive bars or clubs where you can dance until dawn.
Ernest Hemingway was a great lover of Cuba. You can consider an itinerary following his footsteps during a trip to Cuba. In Havana, visit his home in San Francisco de Paula, then in Cojimar, the port that inspired "The Old Man and the Sea." Finish at Cayo Guillermo where Playa Pilar, his favorite beach, is located.
The variety of wildlife and flora in Cuba allows for a wonderful immersion in Caribbean and tropical nature. Among the natural wonders: the Sierra del Rosario, a biosphere reserve; the Vinales Valley, a UNESCO natural heritage site; the Gran Piedra National Park.
Discover the fine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters
Boasting nearly 4,000 km of coastline, Cuba offers an impressive number of beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters. Not to be exhaustive, but let's mention Varadero, Playa Pilar, Guardalavaca, and a series of islets (cayos), each more beautiful than the last. These places enchant you with their stretches of powdery white sand. The beaches are generally more beautiful on the north coast.
Relaxation or sports, the combinations are numerous. You can laze on your towel or indulge in the joys of water sports such as windsurfing, snorkeling, or kayaking. Diving enthusiasts, get your tanks ready! The island indeed offers superb sites that are excellent spots such as Maria la Gorda, Isla de la Juventud, and the Bay of Pigs with Playa Larga and Playa Girón.
A Refreshing Nature
With three mountainous areas, the Sierra de Guaniguanico to the west, the Escambray massif in the center, and the Sierra Maestra to the east, and unique karst rock formations in the Viñales Valley, including the mogotes, prepare to discover a generous and still perfectly preserved nature. For caving enthusiasts, many caves, some of which are among the largest in Latin America, such as Santo Tomás, offer a fascinating glimpse into the country's underground world. On the surface, you will equally appreciate the variety of fauna and flora, with an extremely high rate of endemism.
Wonderful Havana
It is impossible not to mention the mythical Cuban capital. Its magnificent colonial district, Old Havana, has been revitalized thanks to a vast restoration policy. Its Malecón, a seaside promenade opening onto the Florida Strait, is the true backbone of the city. Naturally, all its neighborhoods like Centro Habana, Vedado, and Miramar have always captured the collective imagination. Fascinating and endearing, the capital continues to exude its magic and charms. Once the sun has set, enjoy endless evenings in the heart of this nocturnal melting pot.
