If you like adventure mixed with a touch of romance, you should definitely have a look at the various Cuba tours on offer by different operators right now. Cuba is an off the beaten track travel destination that offers excellent value for money.
If you live in the Northern hemisphere, Cuba is the ideal destination to break away from the dreary Northern winters. Not only will you find warm weather, you will also find some of the friendliest, warmest people you are ever likely to encounter.
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.
The well-known sea wall (malecon) is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a few quiet moments just feeling the soft breezes caress your skin. But when the sun sets the city really comes alive with numerous live music venues.
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 - and also its most difficult to navigate. This is not by chance - the crazy maze of narrow streets were planned that way to put off pirates and robbers. This makes for an interesting city though. Combined with numerous beautiful parks, a market garden and many art galleries Camaguey is well worth a few days of exploring.
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. - 33386
