Cuba is...
Cuba is like a prince in a poor man's cloak; gold dust lingers
behind the sometimes dilapidated facades. It is these rich
dichotomies that make the journey here fascinating. In a country
stuck in a time warp and shocked by an economic embargo that has
lasted more than half a century, you can say goodbye to everyday
assumptions and expect the unexpected.
Historical heritage
Without modern interventions, Cuba's colonial cities have not
changed much since the days when musket pirates stalked the
Caribbean. The atmosphere and architecture are particularly
exciting in Havana, Trinidad and Camagüey, where grand plazas
and cobbled streets tell tales of wealth and intrigue.
Amazing beaches
It doesn't matter whether you're staying in a luxury hotel in
Havana or exploring the rural charm of Viñales. Don't miss the
beach resort town of Varadero, this beach paradise should still
be considered as part of your Cuban travel plans.
Cuban Cadillac
The American trade embargo with Cuba in 1960 led to the immediate
separation of thousands of 1940s and 1950s automobiles built in
Detroit from their parts. Convertibles have always been popular due
to the year-round tropical weather. Don't miss out on a photo shoot
in Havana. The area around the Capitol is a flattering replica of
the Capitol building in Washington, and during the daytime is
decorated with 50-year-old American cars.
