Cuba tours are exciting and interesting alternatives to more mundane destinations. If you have a sense of adventure, if you like romantic destinations more than glitzy high-rises, you will simply love a visit to Cuba.
During the cold winter months of the Northern hemisphere Cuba offers a warm, tropical experience. Warmth not only in terms of climate, but also in terms of the warmest, friendliest people you will anywhere north of the South pole.
Your tour will most likely start in Havana. This place simply overflows with character. From the crumbling old colonial buildings to the numerous cars dating back to the 50's and 60's, everything simply adds to the charm of the city.
The well-known sea wall (malecon) is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a few quiet moments just feeling the soft breezes caress your skin. But when the sun sets the city really comes alive with numerous live music venues.
Cuba is much more than Havana though. There are also the beaches, seafood and lush mountain scenery of Baracoa in the south, that so impressed Christopher Columbus that he wrote it was the the "most beautiful land that human eyes could set upon".
Santiago de Cuba is the country's 2nd largest city. It is often credited to be the birthplace of the revolution - and this place with it's pulsating samba music, beautiful colonial churches and many museums indeed has a lingering sense of conspiracy in the air...
Camaguey is Cuba's third largest city. It is a confusing maze of narrow alleys - not two of which run parallel. This is not by chance - it was designed this way in the 17th century to confuse attackers. It is a city of parks, art galleries and a bustling market garden.
Trinidad is a must-see for anyone visiting Cuba. It is widely regarded as being one of the most beautiful colonial cities in Cuba. There are also many great beaches in the area where you can relax after a night of partying in one of the numerous live music venues.
Whether you are looking for Cuba tours that concentrate on culture, nature, history or sport you are sure to have a life-altering experience that will stay with you long after you have left.
