CUBA LUXURY TRAVEL
the destination
Cuba is the largest and most diverse Caribbean island, nestled South from the Bahamas, West from Haiti and the Dominican Republic, East from Mexico, and North from Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. Timeworn but magnificent, dilapidated but dignified, fun yet maddeningly frustrating – Cuba is a country of indefinable magic, incredible culture, beautiful golden beaches, cocktails and tobacco fields.
The island is shaped like a long thin crocodile, its landscape ranging from mountains and valleys to rolling hills and beaches. The western part of the island is an exquisitely beautiful rural world of farms, forests and the premier tobacco-growing and cigar manufacturing region, which offers ample opportunities for hiking, bird watching, mountain-biking, scuba diving and cave exploration. The central provinces, for their part, are expansive regions of sugar cane plantations and cattle ranges. In the East, you will encounter stunning mountain ranges and white-sand beaches. Its conserved coral reef is second only in length to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
From the Spanish occupation to Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s Revolution, no other island in the Caribbean has such a rich history. This is a country where one can expect the unexpected: a fascinating place where art, music, culture and intriguing people collide, bereft of modern interference, as if trapped in a time warp. The cities haven’t changed much since the pirates stormed the Caribbean, in search of gold and hidden treasures. This is particularly striking in Havana, Trinidad, Remedios and Camagüey, who’ve kept their grandiose squares and cobbled streets from the period of the conquistadors. But behind the 1950s-era cars and Spanish-colonial architecture, gold dust lingers. The country is rife with experimentation, and slowly awakening from a deep sleep: on one side of a corner a café where students meet to debate Che Guevara’s contribution to the world revolution, and on the other, an avant-garde art studio where the furniture is as outlandish as the exhibits: it might just be the perfect time to come visit Cuba.
