Overview
Cuba represents a little something from a little bit of everywhere, collecting cultural influences from Spain, Africa, China and everywhere in between. There's an undeniable sense of nostalgia that fills the cobbled streets and sandy shorelines; the feeling that you're walking back in time to better days. Colonial history is everywhere, but so too are laid-back Caribbean vibes and modern all-inclusive trends. Cuba welcomes everyone as a friend, and it's a friendship for life.

Cultural Curiosities
Cuba is vastly different from anywhere else in the Caribbean. Vintage cars and colonial cobbled streets make the urban spaces fascinating experiences in their own right, without detracting from the delicate natural beauty of beachfronts and coastlines.
Diving & Snorkelling
Divers and snorkellers can get intimately close to with thousands of vibrant underwater species by exploring Cuba's coral reefs and unusual wrecks. World-class dive sites, equipment and instructors combine to make the Cuban underwater experience one to revisit again and again. Cuba's dive centres provide packages for all ability levels, and are usually located near hotels and resorts for added accessibility to aquatic adventures.
Eco-tourism
Cuba acts as a gateway to lush tropical forests peppered with rare orchids, dry mountains populated with prehistoric cacti, and everglades that harbour mangroves, manatees and flamingoes. With more than 100 natural trails and hiking paths, Cuba is a go-to destination for spelunking, birdwatching, nature photography and horseback riding.
