Cuba
Cuba is a relatively undiscovered country for mass tourism, largely out of reach for Americans given their ongoing travel ban. However, it’s a destination for those who love to explore and discover the real heart of a nation, and none more so than its historic capital, Havana.
Very few other places in the Caribbean will you find the unique history and character you’ll find in Havana. With a dynamic music scene, amazing architecture and monuments, and a mecca for people who love historic cars – Havana is a must visit city on a holiday to Cuba.
Heading out of the city, you could head inland and the beautiful Vinales Valley – just one of the countries UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Home to the famous tobacco plantations, Cuba is known for. Then head to the beach, either in Varadero or Jibacoa, neither far from Havana.
