Cuba Holidays
Jose Mauricio Maurette
Many people come to Cuba to enjoy its rich cultural values and the work of its musicians, artists and dancers; to explore its cities and heritage sites; to savour its cuisine; to participate in the many international conferences, congresses and summits; to get marry or spend a honeymoon or simply because they want to share in the Cuban people's obvious enjoyment of life.
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).
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 contains many different geographic features - tunnels, channels and vertical walls - and sunken ships, some of which have been there for more than a hundred years.
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.
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.
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 just some reasons why Cuba can be a perfect destination for your next holidays. There is a universe of options that you can go for. If you fancy swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its vibrant cities you have that for granted.
