Cuba Holidays

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea, located about 150 kilometers away from the coast of Florida. Cuba offers a beautiful romantic feel and has a distinct charm from the past. On the beautiful Cuban streets you will still see American old-timer cars cruising up and down, while carts and horses are still the major way of transport in Cuba`s countryside. Cuba is full of beautiful beaches, green hills, rainforests, mountain ranges, and attractive waterfalls.

All Cuban cities are vibrant and energetic, attracting tourists that look to spend a holiday of their lifetime. As Cuba is opening towards the Western world, there are many modern hotel resorts everywhere. If you want to experience a different type of vacation, you can also go to the private homestays called ‘casa particulares’ which offer an original insight into Cuban way of life.

Cuba has a subtropical climate, which means hot weather all year long. Months between May and October receive the most rainfall, while months between January and April are usually dry and pleasantly warm. Summer months have average temperatures around 27 C, while the sea temperature is highest in August with average temperatures near 30 C.

Cuba`s capital city of Havana is a mix of old and modern. It is a place full of wonderful colonial buildings, typical Cuban houses and charming streets and avenues. Havana offers an urban experience like no other city. The rhythm of salsa music, smell of Cuban cigars, vintage cars and people uninhibitedly dancing on the streets is what gives this city a special charm. Havana is not the only city to visit on Cuba. All other cities offer unique experiences and are worth to be explored. Santiago de Cuba offers a mixture of many Afro-Caribbean cultures, and it is a city full of beautiful old cathedrals and pastel buildings. Trinidad is another great city with many colonial facades, narrow cobbled streets and very nice courtyards.

Besides nice cities, Cuba attracts lots of tourists with its great beaches. Even one of the greatest explorers of the world – Christopher Columbus has noted that the Cuban coast of Guardalavaca was one of the nicest lands he has seen on the planet. The beauty of its white sandy beaches in combination with hot turquoise crystal-clear waters cannot be described with words. Those that want to experience something else besides beaches can go inlands and visit the beautiful verdant areas of Vinales, which are most famous for cultivation of premium Cuban tobacco.

At Rancho La Guabina you can still find cowboys that can teach you how to handle a lasso, while the kids can enjoy pony rides in beautiful parks. Pinar del Rio is one of the nicest provinces of Cuba, where you will see beautiful limestone mountain ranges called mogotes. Lush vegetation, underground rivers and hidden caves with attractive stalactites and stalagmites are some of the most attractive things you can see in this province.

Cuba`s nice warm climate, rich history, beautiful beaches, vibrant cities and picturesque countryside all guarantee that you will have one of the best holidays in your life if you visit this country.
