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.

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.

The Cuban archipelago consist of the island of Cuba, the isle of Youth and around 4195 other cays and islets for a total land area of 42,854 square miles (110,992 square kilometres).

From west to east, the most beautiful beaches and cays are Maria La Gorda, Cayo Levisa, East Havana beaches, Varadero, Cayo Largo, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Ensenachos, Playa ancon, Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo and Guardalavaca.

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.

Cuba has a network of Scuba-diving centres with all the equipment you need for exploring its seabed and underwater caves in areas of singular natural beauty and speleological importance.

Cuba counts 236 protected areas, which cover 22 percent-around 10,328 square miles of the country's territory. They include the Valley of Viales in Pinar del Rio (a world heritage site by UNESCO) and several other areas that have been awarded the category of World Biosphere Preserves.

From the sea enormous fortresses welcome you. At their feet, you will find cobblestone streets, pillars, balconies, arches and balustrades - building in a riot of styles.

These are only very few reasons why Cuba can be an ideal location for your next holidays. There is a world of choices that you can go for. If you visualize swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its lively cities you have that for granted.
