By Mauricio Maurette

Are you considering your next holidays in Cuba? If so you are in for an unforgettable experience. Cuba's charm is comparable to no other destination in the Caribbean, for not to mention its history and impressive architecture patrimony.

It is all about knowing where to go, what to see and which locations to combine to get the most out of your experience in Cuba. This island has such a rich culture, history, architecture and Nature that when you put all together you have ideal recipe for an unforgettable holiday.

Varadero has to be the most favourite beach area among tourists. Located only 2 hours drive from Havana it is ideal for those looking to spend few days in the beach and also enjoy the squares and bars of Havana's legendary Old Town.

Interested in Nature? Well then you have to explore the mountains, valleys and rivers of Cuba. Pinar del Rio area, Escambray Mountain and Sierra Maestra are the richest in terms of natural attributes.

Trinidad de Cuba one of the most beautiful cities in Cuba was declared World Heritage Site in 1986 by UNESCO. Today Trinidad still looks the same it was 300 years ago. Trinidad also has the best beaches in the Caribbean side of Cuba so if you want to blend a bit of culture and relaxation then Trinidad is definitely the place to go.

Havana without a doubt should not be left out in your visit. This city represents the main interaction with the Cuban culture. Havana?s Old Town is one of its best assets. You can find life music almost in every corner and every square.

For history lovers and those wanting to get to know the real Caribbean culture there is no better place than Santiago the Cuba. With a very rich cultural heritage Santiago de Cuba is the best place to enjoy a Cuban Carnival which takes place around the 26th of July every year.

Some think that Cuba might change in the next couple of years. I personally have been hearing this same thing for the past 20 years and Cuba still remains the same defiant and beautiful country. However it is important to highlight that in the past few years the expectation of a change has increased. My advice is not to leave your visit for too late or you might miss have a century of history and culture. - 29868
