More than sun and sand, more than its other natural attractions, Cuba is its people and their history. It is the magic of its countryside and of its cities with their hidden heritage.
Cuba has great biodiversity, with well-preserved land and marine ecosystems. The average annual air temperature is 77.9 Fahrenheit’s (25.5 Celsius), and the average annual temperature of costal waters is about the same. You can count on an average of 330 sunny days a year.
Various tones of blue and green combine to form a perfect setting at each of the Cuban beaches, weather pristine or developed; warm or cool; and with golden, white or dark sand – but always enchanting and filled with legends and things to explore.
The seabed contains many different geographic features – tunnels, channels and vertical walls – and sunken ships, some of which have been there for more than a hundred years.
Scuba diving in Cuba is based on the principle of conserving its underwater ecosystems. Many areas of access to this activity are protected areas with a wide range of facilities: accommodation, ports and water sport bases.
In Cuba nature holidays have all the conditions for making your stay a magical adventure. There are many kinds of nature tourism: hiking, cycling, horseback riding, spelunking , nature observation, nature photography and scuba diving in caves.
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 just some reasons why Cuba can be a perfect destination for your next holidays. There is a universe of options that you can go for. If you fancy swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its vibrant cities you have that for granted.
