Why visit Cuba?
There are many good reasons to visit Cuba: The beach, the culture, the food, the landscape, the music.... I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Although traveling to Cuba is harder for Americans - it isn't impossible. So, if you're asking yourself "should I go to Cuba in 2018" the answer is a resounding yes.
THE CUBAN BEACHES
Just a short 2 hour drive from the Havana Airport is Varadero – a beautiful beach town known in as the best beach in Cuba. You'll find gorgeous white sandy beaches that stretch on for 22 km! The palm trees, pineapple drinks and crystal blue water will leave you breathless.
THE CUBAN CIGARS
Unless you live under a rock you probably know Cuban cigars are considered the best in the world. You can visit the Partagas Cigar Factory in Havana for a guided tour or take a day trip from Havana to Vinñales and roam an organic tobacco farm on horseback! If you go to Cuba you can't miss out on deciding for yourself Cubans cigars really are the best.
CASA PARTICULARS
Cuba had AirBnb before it was cool – seriously!! Called Casa Particulars, the Cuban government allows locals to host tourists. Not only is this a great way to travel Cuba on a budget but it also allows you to live in houses and buildings along side a real Cuban family. It gives you a unique perspective and insight into Cuban life. It was honestly one of my favorite experiences of the entire trip.
WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINMENT
You can't go far in Cuba without seeing some phenomenal live singing, and dancing. Often times the best performers are right on the street - but there are also some amazing shows you shouldn't miss out on. Visiting the Tropicana was a huge highlight of our trip, but we also checked out the Buena Vista Social Club and were amazed by the talent. If you like ballet, try and see a performance while in Cuba. Cuban ballerinas are some of the best in the world.
