Cuba is the largest and most enigmatic island in the Caribbean. This brilliant vacation destination offers a mix of culture, history, architecture, music and geography that captivates the visitor.
If you are a lover of water sports, Cuba is the perfect sports destination, with impressive white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, coral reefs as well as limestone formations just a few meters from the coast. Snorkeling along with diving are in fashion, as is windsurfing as well as sailing.
For diving packages or boat vacations in Cuba, it is best to talk to a specialist. Very few tour operators deal with this type of package tours. They are more bespoke and require more information and research on the part of the operator.
If you are more into the ethnic Cuba diving package, why not visit Havana? Without a doubt, the capital of Cuba will keep you very busy visiting museums, cigar factories, monuments, squares and cafes. Other interesting places worth mentioning are Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba. This last site is particularly marked by its Caribbean touch, as well as its musical traditions.
The shopping market in Cuba is not very good, but there are several markets for local crafts in each of the main destinations on the island. Coffee, rum and cigars are the main souvenirs that tourists take home when they visit Cuba. Prices are very cheap, except for Cuban cigars that can cost up to 400.00 CUC per box.
Many tour operators offer vacation packages to Cuba, but if you are looking for something more exclusive, say bird watching, horseback riding, guided tours, history or architecture packages, then you should talk to a specialist. You can also stay with Cuban families if you want to meet Cuban people. This is by far the cheapest way to destination. Most family houses will cost half the price of hotels. In some cases, custom packages are cheaper than the common beach vacation package.
Each individual is different, but Cuba has everything to offer the most demanding traveler. All you need to do is contact a Cuba Vacation specialist to find out what is right for you.
