With its 4000 cays and islets, Cuba has an exceptional diversity of marine flora and fauna. The warm waters are ideal for diving, snorkeling, and night dives in coralline gardens filled with caves, vertical walls, and the remains of shipwrecks.
Cuba’s beaches – more than 300 – such as Varadero and Holguin – are famous worldwide.
Three mountain ranges, savannas, and beautiful valleys transverse the island creating a diverse landscape that ranges from miles of swaying sugar cane to the rugged mountainous terrain of the Sierra Maestra or the lush tropical forests of the Zapata Peninsula.
Today Cuba with its blend of historical nostalgia and natural beauty is a major tourist destination for visitors from Canada and Europe. Citizens from the United States however, are severely restricted, with permission only given by the U.S. government to a few selected categories such as journalists and scholars.
A quarter of Cuba’s 11 million people live in the capital of Havana. Here Old Havana’s square mile of colonial churches, plazas and palaces reflects its colonial heritage.
Spots especially popular with Canadian and European tourists are Guardalavaca, Cayo Coco, Manzanillo, Trinidad/Cienfuegos, and Santa Lucia.
The ecosystem of Cuba is well preserved making it a delight for nature lovers who wish to trek and observe the magnificent flora and fauna of the island.
A vast array of hotels and restaurants assures comfortable lodgings and local and international cuisine for the visitor.
