Are you thinking about a holiday to Cuba? Here is one Caribbean island where you would not want to spend all your time on the beach. The people are extremely friendly and welcoming. The heritage of Cuba is so rich as are the monuments and palaces throughout the country. A Cuban Holiday is without a doubt one to consider.

These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.

Pinares del Mayari: Due south of Guardalavaca, pleasant mountain chalet accommodation has been built up on the high plateau cattle pastures of Altiplanicie de Nipe, alt. 600 m (1,968 ft). Ecotourism is gradually being developed here, and it’s a perfect destination for hikes through the pine forests as a change of pace from the beaches.

Copa Rum Night Club in Havana: Replacing the legendary Palacio de Ia Salsa, the old hotel’s night club has been refurbished to capture the glittering atmosphere of the 1950s. Under the Old Nick name of the famous Copacabana, it has two floorshows, at 10 p.m. and midnight, with prices moderately expensive.

Cayo Largo: The key boasts no less than 26 km (16 miles) of fine white sandy beaches. The most popular is the sheltered Playa Sirena facing west. A pleasant bicycle ride away to the east, Playa Blanca and Playa Los Cocos are less crowded, while Playa Tortuga, further out, attracts turtles to lay their eggs in the sand.

Cayo Coco: Covering an area of 364 sq km (140 sq miles), this is the best developed of the Camaguey archipelago’s resort islands off the Atlantic coast. Causeways join it to the mainland across the Bay of Dogs, and to neighbouring Cayo Guillermo to the west and Cayo Romano to the east.

The list of places to visit and things to do goes on and on. The choices are countless for your Cuba holidays. The last advice is to keep researching so that you can enjoy your holidays to the fullest.
