The heritage of Cuba is as rich as are the monuments and palaces throughout the country. A holiday to Cuba is something you should really consider in your agenda.
These are just some of the facts to consider and places and things you should not miss in your holidays to Cuba.
Horseback Riding: The beach resorts hire out horses by the hour, as does Havana's Parque Lenin. For longer treks, you might try the tourist ranches near Trinidad at Casa del Campesino or Los Molinos. Other good facilities in the interior are available in the Viales valley and Pinar del Rio.

In their 70s and 80s, singers Cam pay Segundo and Ibrahim Ferrer and pianist Ruben Gonzalez suddenly became world stars. They reintroduced Europeans and Americans to the magic of Afro-Cuban music.
A bit of History: Christopher Columbus disembarked on October 28, 1492, somewhere between Gibara and Guardalavaca. Following threats of mutiny and an overnight rain- storm, he wrote with undisguised relief in his journal: "Everything I saw was so lovely that my eyes could not weary beholding such beauty".

Escorted Cuba Tours
Cuba is one of the undiscovered travel destinations for many American tourists. For years there have been tight restrictions on travel to Cuba. These restrictions were just recently lifted, making it possible for tourists from the United States to take small group Cuba holidays.
If you are a traveler who enjoys seeing new countries, you will enjoy a small group tour. You will not only be touring as a group, but individually, you'll have the opportunity to do some sightseeing on your own. You can, also, choose to participate in some optional local activities at the same price the Cubans pay.
One of the biggest complaints of people who go on tours is that they do not have the opportunity to interact with the local people. The small group tours in Cuba are not that way. You will have a local Cuban tour guide, and most of your accommodations will be in the homes of Cuban families.
These are not luxury tours, but the transport and accommodations are comfortable and clean. Since the groups are small, you will get to know the other travelers better. The tour guide will accompany you through the entire tour.
An example of a small group tour is the eight day Western Cuba Tour. The group size will be between two and twelve with the average size being seven. The arrival destination is the city of Havana. There are no activities planned for the first day so you can use the time to visit the city on your own.
Days two through six will be spent visiting two other special locations. During that time you can ride horseback, go snorkeling off of one of Cuba's white sand beaches, look for wildlife, explore caves, hike or go bicycling. These nights will be spent in the home of a Cuban family. Day eight is the same as Day one. There are no planned activities, and you may do whatever you want. You are free to leave at the time you choose.
Small group Cuba tours are relaxing and informal. Be ready to make some lifelong friends during the eight days you spend together. These tours are a unique way to see life in Cuba as it really is.

Cuba: Multi Centre Holidays.
Cuba is such a big Island that it makes it ideal for multi centre holidays. There is so much to do and see that sometimes - depending on the itinerary - 2 weeks are not enough.
Because Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, it has many attractions that separate it from the rest of the countries in the area: beautiful beaches, colourful Flora and Fauna, lush vegetation and interesting geographic features. The history and Culture Cuba enjoys are certainly one of its main attributes.
As for beaches Cuba definitively is a destination to count on. Varadero and Guardalavaca have for many years been considered the best beaches in Cuba. Since the early 90's new beach locations have emerged in Cuba among which Cayo Largo, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Coco are the most popular.
European and African influences, mixed with aboriginal and Asian ingredients, gave rise to the features that differentiate Cuba from the rest of the islands in the Caribbean. Cuba for Centuries was the centre of the Spanish metropolis in America. This explain why its architecture is so striking and its culture so rich.
Its landscapes have inspired plastic artists all around the World. The beyond belief Vinales Valley - located in Pinar del Rio province in the west of Cuba - is one of the gems of the Cuban geography that today can be admired by millions of tourists.
A must see location is Havana - The Capital of Cuba. Recommended as the starting point of your itinerary, Havana certainly is the most cosmopolitan of the Cuban provinces. No wonder Novel Prize Ernest Hemingway found permanent residence for over 20 years in this vibrant city.
Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Santiago de Cuba and Baracoa are some of the most important cities in Cuba. Trinidad is one of the oldest villages founded by the Spanish Colonization and Santiago de Cuba stands out for its history, music and carnivals.
If you want to know the real Cuba you will have to plan your trip with real care. A research about the different locations is a good start. Getting in touch with a tour operator that has the knowledge of Cuba is crucial. It is not going to be more expensive because your holiday is tailor made. In most cases it works actually cheaper than the usual beach holiday. I hope this has encouraged you to experience the real Cuba and wish you an excellent journey.
