Experience Cuba

Cuba, the ‘Pearl of the Antilles’, is the largest island in the Caribbean and a land of friendly people, colonial towns, unspoil beaches and picturesque countryside. For nearly four centuries, Cuba was the main gateway to Spain’s vast American empire, and cities such as Havana, Santiago, Camaguey, Baracoa and Trinidad are sentinals of a bygone era. The richness of Cuba’s culutre is reflected in its many museums, mostly located in the capital, Havana. The capital itself, home of the salsa, mambo and cha-cha, is the artistic centre of Cuba. Meet the vivacious and passionate people and feel the rhythm of Cuban music. Cuba offers and adventure like no other.
