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 of Cuba's insular shelf, which is 27,027 square miles (70,000 square kilometres) in size, contains areas which Jacques-Yves Cousteau (participant of the 1992 World Underwater Photography Championship) described as the most spectacular and varied on earth.
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 only very few motives for considering holidays to Cuba as your next ideal destination. There is a wealth of alternatives that you can think of. If you picture in your mind swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a white sandy beach or plainly soaking up the feeling of its dynamic cities you have that for granted.
