The Best Information About Cuba

Cuba: land of revolution, rum, cigars, classic cars, and world-famous music and dance. This Caribbean island nation lies just 90 miles south of Florida’s Key West. The largest island in the Caribbean, its terrain consists of rolling plains and mountain forest. Oh, and plenty of beaches as well.

Start in the Cuban capital, Havana, and wander the old city to see its colonial museums, churches and palaces. Expand your sightseeing to include the entire city, complete with revolutionary monuments, nightclubs, and the Malecón—a picturesque waterfront boulevard. Everywhere you turn, there’s incredible music, and you’ll be tempted to buy CDs from bands that rival your favorites back home.

Expend your trael outward to other regions of Cuba, from the Pinar del Río province with its limestone cliffs and caves, to the Santiago de Cuba province with the country’s oldest museums and palaces and its highest mountain (Pico Turquino), to the Sierra Maestra—the mountain headquarters of the Cuban Revolution. Activities across the island abound: scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, horseback riding, fishing (remember Papa Hemingway?), sightseeing and shopping. Visit Cuba and you’ll never forget it.
