Travel in Cuba

Cuba is one of our favorite islands in the Caribbean. The country still looks like the one you see in the movie Dirty Dancing 2. Dance in the streets with Cuban music among the colonial houses. Be quick, because authentic Cuba is fast disappearing. Nevertheless, it is still a treat to travel around here!
Take a walk along Havana's dilapidated but beautiful Malecon waterfront. This boulevard leads from Old Havana to West Fedado.
Immerse yourself in Cuban nightlife, with Cuban salsa. Every Saturday night at 8, for example, there is a big party (Fiesta de la Cubania) in the streets of Bayamo (Bayamo's street party).
In Las Tunas there is a market every weekend where things are sold. There is also singing and dancing. A good chance to meet the locals.
Enjoy sun, sea and beach. For example, at Varadero, Playas del Este (Havana) or Havana Riviera (Santa María).
Wander through Castillo de La Real Fuerza, Havana's oldest fort. By the way, the fort was built in the wrong place.
Baracao is a seaside place with beautiful nature. The road to it “La Farola” is also beautiful.
Isla de la Juventud: The perfect place to go diving with over 30 coral reefs. Also nice that it is not very touristy here yet.
Trinidad is a colonial city founded in 1514. With elegant houses, and cobblestone streets with horses running over them.
Pinar del Rio: A Cuban province that many say has the most beautiful nature. Including stalactite caves with underground rivers.
Cayo Largo: Precisely because the island is so hideously touristy, it is almost a paradise on earth. The place to relax on typical Caribbean beaches.
The old Cuba is slowly disappearing, as more and more capitalist influences are gradually being allowed in. Visit Cuba when you are able to.
