Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. With miles of golden beaches,
rich, colorful scenery and a proud cultural heritage this stunningly
beautiful and exceptionally diverse country has been enticing visitors
since Columbus landed here in 1492.
For the sun, sand and sea lover, Cuba boasts mile upon mile of unspoilt
golden sandy beaches; for the more adventurous travelers, explore the
mountainous countryside with sugar cane and rice fields and a fantastic
coral reef, second only in length to the Great Barrier Reef. Whatever your
reason for choosing this wonderful country, you couldn’t have chosen a
better time. Although tourism is growing, Cuba is largely unspoilt and you
can still escape from it all on a secluded beach far from the crowd.
Cuba has more than 300 natural beaches of fine white sand and crystal
clear waters. The most famous of these is Varadero; however, there are
others to the east of the capital city in Holguín and Cayo Largo del Sur,
as well as in the northern keys of Ciego de Ávila and Villa Clara.
The youngest island in the Caribbean, erosion has yet
to dull the sharpness of her terrain. Beautiful, dramatic angles are
everywhere. Energetic rivers run vigorously. Dynamic forests remain
untouched. When you first ride through the countryside, the uncompromising
beauty of the island-rolling hills, secluded coastlines, virgin woods-will
make you feel as if you're at the end of the world. |
