Cuba is not only the largest island in the Caribbean, but also the most populous. Aside from the famous Cuban cigars, you can enjoy the music, culture and cuisine of Cuba.
Visit Valle de Vinales to soak in the true spirit of Cuba. Take in the breathtaking views on a hike or horse back ride, and learn about the tobacco industry from step one. You can even take away a fresh rolled cigar with you.
Old Havana is full of architecture and old buildings that are a must see. Walk around the town and visit some of the restaurants or museums available. The relaxing atmosphere is excellent for a stroll while you check out the old cars still in use in the city.
If you just want to see the magnificence of Mother Nature, the Parque Nacional CiƩnaga de Zapata has wetlands, mangroves and plenty of vegetation and beautiful flowers to see. This is also a great place to visit to see some of Cuba's colourful birds.
Baracoa is great for taking a boat ride or going rafting, with 10 rivers to explore. The natural paradise is also an awesome spot for taking a hike.
