Visit Cuba - 5 things to do
Cuba is an amazing place situated at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. Also know as La Isla de la Juventud, people from all over the world come to visit this amazing and surreal place.
So... you are a tourist, you are in Cuba: what can you visit?
1. Old Havana
La Habana Vieja (Old Havana), declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is the historic center of the city of Havana.
It is full of authentic architectural treasures from different periods and offers one of the most comprehensive collections of urban buildings in all America.
3. Viñales Valley
The Viñales valley is encircled by mountains and its landscape is interspersed with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional techniques are still in use for agricultural production, particularly of tobacco. The quality of this cultural landscape is enhanced by the vernacular architecture of its farms and villages, where a rich multi-ethnic society survives, illustrating the cultural development of the islands of the Caribbean, and of Cuba.
4. Trinidad
Exploring the town of Trinidad, Cuba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is like stepping back in time. The beautifully restored buildings and cobblestone streets in the city center exude a quaint colonial feel. Much of the architecture dates from the 17th to the 19th centuries, when Trinidad prospered from both the sugar and slave trades.
5. Guardalavaca
Rimmed by glittering beaches, Guardalavaca, in the Holguin province, is quieter and more remote than Varadero. Lush foliage fringes the sweeping strand of beach here, providing plenty of shady patches for those seeking respite from the tropical sun. Divers and snorkelers can explore a plethora of sea life along the coral reefs.
