Havana

The exotic capital of Cuba and largest city in the Caribbean is a must-see for any visitor. For centuries, it has served as the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. And in 1982, Old Havana, the city’s historic centre, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.The city’s first building, overlooking the entrance to a protected bay, dates back to 1519. Originally christened La Villa de San Cristóbal de la Habana, the city became a depository for treasures that Spanish fleets brought to the New World. It also became the centre of trade and commerce between the old and new worlds. Havana’s strategic geographic position was a major factor in its rapid growth, and in the decision to build a sea wall in the 17th century. The wall was completed more than 100 years later.

Today, Havana is the heart of the nation’s busy political, scientific and cultural life. Museums, theaters and concert halls, art galleries and cultural institutions are popular venues, while some such as the National Ballet of Cuba, House of the Americas, Foundation of New Latin American Film and National Folkloric Dance Group have won international acclaim. Both day and night, Havana continues to thrill visitors a new.

Trinidad

Cuba’s two major cities, founded in 1514 by the Spanish conquistadors. Today, Sancti Spiritus is a flourishing town bustling with trade in sugar, tobacco and cattle. Trinidad is a city frozen in time whose ancient palaces and colonial architecture remain unchanged. A flourishing economy of sugar, tobacco and cattle rising keeps Sancti Spritus a busy central trade center. Trinidad, on the other hand, has remained frozen in time. Founded by emigrants from the Canary Islands, the city has preserved its old palaces and colonial architecture, and become a key tourist attraction.

Guama

 The holiday resort of Villa Guama is located on the far side of Laguna del Tesoro (Treasure Lake), from Boca de Guama. Boats wait in Boca de Guama to take travelers across the lake, which is the only access to the resort. Villa Guama is uniquely designed to resemble an Indian Village and named after Guama a Taino, an Indian warrior who led a rebellion against the Spanish in the 16th Century. The resort consists of a number of thatched roof huts, which look very rustic from the outside but are actually quite nice inside and come complete with air conditioning. The Village Guama complex is spread over a number of islands, and the whole area is very lush and green with palm trees and well maintained grounds. There are also simple sculptures of warriors spread out through the camp.

Viñales

 The Parque Nacional Viñales is a beautiful fertile valley in the Sierra de los Organos, north of Pinar del Rio. This is one of, if not the most, promoted destination in the Pinar del Rio province. The park is characterized by steep limestone hills called mogotes, which rise up separating the valleys, creating a very dramatic landscape. The valley floors in the Parque Nacional Viñales are agricultural areas where tobacco, as well as fruits and vegetables are grown. For outdoor enthusiasts the Parque Nacional Viñales is a great place to go walking in the hills or horseback riding.The main town in the area is also called Viñales

Varadero

Varadero beach—some call it the world’s greatest beach—has long been the pride of Cuba, and a magnet for the rich and famous.Considered by many as the world's most beautiful beach, Varadero is part of a peninsula that stretches far out into the calm waters of the Atlantic. Its 21 km strip of fine white sand is an ideal vacation spot for sun-lovers, water babies and golfers. Its location on a narrow peninsula ensures that it is constantly cooled by tropical breezes.But this white beach set against a backdrop of astonishing turquoise water and azure sky is not the only attraction in Matanzas province. The nearby cities of Cárdenas and Matanzas (the provincial capital) are known for their art, history and culture. Southwest of Varadero, on the province's Caribbean coast, is the Zapata Peninsula, famous for its ecotourism and history.
