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 miserable winters of the Northern hemisphere, Cuba is the ideal place to break away for a couple of weeks of sunshine. What you will find in Cuba is not only warm weather but warm and friendly people with a passion for music and culture.
Most tours start in the crumbling, atmospheric old capital of Havana. With it's many old cars dating back to the l950's and'60's and its gently decaying colonial buildings Havana has been the backdrop of many romantic movies.
Numerous lively night-time music venues further add to the charm that is Havana. Spending a few hours at the renowned sea wall (malecon) just enjoying the gentle salty breezes is an experience you will remember for a long time.
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.
Nobody should leave Cuba without bringing a visit to Trinidad. It is considered by many to be the loveliest of all colonial cities in Cuba. Once again you will find sufficient night life to make sure you never get any sleep and during the days you can sleep off the effects of the previous night on one of the many white beaches nearby.
Many tour operators nowadays offer specialized Cuba tours. Some tours concentrate on visiting historical areas, others more on showcasing the culture of the country and still others on exploring the natural beauty of this magnificent land. - 31819
