Cuba is undoubtedly one of the most unique places to visit in the world and this exciting Caribbean island with a Latin soul, continues to enchant those that explore this diverse land. A visit to Cuba certainly leaves lasting memories, some unanswered questions and for now a feeling that Cuba is at the crossroads of change.

A rich Spanish colonial history has left a wonderful legacy of enchanting UNESCO World Heritage small cities, most notably the capital Havana and the city of Trinidad both windows on a colonial past.

The whole island literally sways to the beat of Cuban music and dance whilst basking under the Caribbean sun. Added to this heady mix is an amazing cultural legacy, where you can also enjoy world class ballet, classical music, art and literature.  With a more recent backdrop of socialism, revolution and a difficult relationship with its very large neighbour, Cuba sits without wishing to, in the midst of global geopolitical waves .

A surprisingly large island and almost 800 miles long, the landscape is varied and includes towering mountain ranges with peaks over 6,000ft , tranquil valleys, lush rainforests, mangrove swamps with alligators, the world’s second longest barrier reef and over 4000 islands and cays, forming numerous archipelagos , making Cuba a perfect destination for Archipelago Choice!

Enjoying a beautiful sun-drenched Caribbean climate, Cuba is also blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in the region,  lapped by crystal-clear warm waters, teeming with aquatic life. Visitors can enjoy some globally recognised diving, excellent fishing and a variety of nautical activities from the more developed beach areas.

Cuba is calling out to be explored and if your curiosity is pulling you to go, then you’ll need a little help as travelling around Cuba is certainly not straightforward. However, with the help from our specialists you could find yourselves having one of the best travel experiences you’ve ever had.

If you feel yourselves being drawn towards exploring Cuba, then a good starting point would be to have an initial chat with a leading Cuba expert in our team at Archipelago Choice.
