Holidays in cuba
Many people come to Cuba to enjoy its rich cultural values and the work of its musicians, artists and dancers; to explore its cities and heritage sites; to savour its cuisine; to participate in the many international conferences, congresses and summits; to get marry or spend a honeymoon or simply because they want to share in the Cuban people’s obvious enjoyment of life.
Cuba has around 3534 miles(5700 kilometres) of coastline, with lovely scenery featuring beautiful beaches and over 400 cays with fascinating Flora and Fauna - a great drawing card for visitors who want to enjoy the wild life.
Cuba counts more than 300 natural beaches which are unique for the different hues of their clear, calm water; the beauty of its pristine cays; and their fascinating seabed.
The seabed of Cuba’s insular shelf, which is 27,027 square miles (70,000 square kilometres) in size, contains areas which Jacques-Yves Cousteau (participant of the 1992 World Underwater Photography Championship) described as the most spectacular and varied on earth.
The Cuban archipelago has 525 diving sites, located in 15 important zones: Maria La Gorda, Cayo Levisa, Havana, Cayo Largo, Varadero, Bay of Pigs, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Los Jardines del Rey and Los Jardines de la Reina, and the list goes on.
Cuba counts 236 protected areas, which cover 22 percent-around 10,328 square miles of the country’s territory. They include the Valley of Viales in Pinar del Rio (a world heritage site by UNESCO) and several other areas that have been awarded the category of World Biosphere Preserves.
Cuba’s cities have great architectural diversity: more than five centuries of styles, including colonial, pre-baroque, baroque, neo-gothic, neoclassical, eclectic, art nouveau, art deco, modern and post modern.
These are only very few motives for considering holidays to Cuba as your next ideal destination. There is a wealth of alternatives that you can think of. If you picture in your mind swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a white sandy beach or plainly soaking up the feeling of its dynamic cities you have that for granted.
