Cuba is an archipelagic country full of natural beauty exemplified by vibrant flora and fauna, towering mountains, and breathtaking beaches. Because of Cuba’s geography, beach lovers are able to enjoy the waters of the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico. Varadero boasts silky white sand beaches, while Playa Ancon offers scuba dive sites of wrecked merchant galleons and pirate ships.
Cuba also has a lively party culture. Havana’s Tropicana is a cabaret club with dazzling stage performances, while El Floridita is known for being Ernest Hemingway’s favorite bar. If you’re traveling with kids, you can bring them to National Zoo of Cuba to meet animals such as lions, rhinos, and elephants.
