Many people come to Cuba to enjoy its rich cultural values and the work of its musicians, artists and dancers; to explore its cities and heritage sites; to savour its cuisine; to participate in the many international conferences, congresses and summits; to get marry or spend a honeymoon or simply because they want to share in the Cuban people's obvious enjoyment of life.
The Cuban archipelago consist of the island of Cuba, the isle of Youth and around 4195 other cays and islets for a total land area of 42,854 square miles (110,992 square kilometres).
Cuba counts more than 300 natural beaches which are unique for the different hues of their clear, calm water; the beauty of its pristine cays; and their fascinating seabed.
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.
In Cuba nature holidays have all the conditions for making your stay a magical adventure. There are many kinds of nature tourism: hiking, cycling, horseback riding, spelunking , nature observation, nature photography and scuba diving in caves.
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 motives for considering holidays to Cuba as your next ideal destination. There is a wealth of alternatives that you can think of. If you picture in your mind swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a white sandy beach or plainly soaking up the feeling of its dynamic cities you have that for granted.
