More than sun and sand, more than its other natural attractions, Cuba is its people and their history. It is the magic of its countryside and of its cities with their hidden heritage.
Cuba has around 3534 miles(5700 kilometres) of coastline, with lovely scenery featuring beautiful beaches and over 400 cays with fascinating Flora and Fauna - a great drawing card for visitors who want to enjoy the wild life.
Various tones of blue and green combine to form a perfect setting at each of the Cuban beaches, weather pristine or developed; warm or cool; and with golden, white or dark sand - but always enchanting and filled with legends and things to explore.
The seabed of Cuba’s insular shelf, which is 27,027 square miles (70,000 square kilometres) in size, contains areas which Jacques-Yves Cousteau (participant of the 1992 World Underwater Photography Championship) described as the most spectacular and varied on earth.
The Cuban archipelago has 525 diving sites, located in 15 important zones: Maria La Gorda, Cayo Levisa, Havana, Cayo Largo, Varadero, Bay of Pigs, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Los Jardines del Rey and Los Jardines de la Reina, and the list goes on.
Cuba counts 236 protected areas, which cover 22 percent-around 10,328 square miles of the country’s territory. They include the Valley of Viales in Pinar del Rio (a world heritage site by UNESCO) and several other areas that have been awarded the category of World Biosphere Preserves.
Some of Cuba’s cities are like living museums of tremendous enchantment; UNESCO has declared Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Havana to be part of the World Cultural Heritage.
These are only very few reasons why Cuba can be an ideal location for your next holidays. There is a world of choices that you can go for. If you visualize swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its lively cities you have that for granted.
