3 Great Reasons to Visit Cuba

(and one good reason to join us when you do!)

Reason 1 - When It's Gone It's Gone

Cuba won't be this way for much longer. There will be those that will disagree with me, but there are many reasons to believe that cheap Venezuelan oil, together with huge investment from Russia and China, must change the economic landscape of the country.  Whilst the embarrassing US embargo remains, the barriers to tourism are declining all the time.  And whilst there is a movement seeking a return to Bush levels of restrictions, this is reasonably unlikely.  An increasing number of Americans are circumnavigating the existing restrictions, this, tethered with a possibility of further softening of the rules, will see tourism boom.

The fact remains, whatever your social or political view on Cuba, it's now or Never if you want to see Castro's Cuba, now it your chance.

Reason 2 - Beauty and Splendor

Columbus many have got it wrong when he believed Cuba was in Asia, but who could argue about the stunning beauty he reported. Cuba hosts a dozen National Parks and protected landscapes.  It hosts the most wonderful flora  that includes no less that 6,300 varieties. The fauna boasts 54 species of mammals, 350 species of Birds, 106 of Reptiles, 42 amphibians, and so much more.  There are the most diverse varieties of coral, fish and other marine life to enjoy.

Reason 3 - So Much to See

Cuba consists of a main 765 mile long island, Isla de la Juventud and over 4000 keys and islets. Situated at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, it’s just short hop from  the Florida keys.

Havana , its colourful capital, is festooned with beautiful architecture, pulsating nightlife and proud culture is the heart of the nation.

Outside the Caribbean’s largest city, life on thousands of fine beaches and in resort destination Varadero and former capital Santiago de Cuba carry on at the same laid back pace.
