Cuba: Excellence in Tourism

The Cuban archipelago, strategically located in the Caribbean Sea, is a tourist destination par excellence that offers a wide range of options, ranging from exuberant nature to culture, history and traditions.

Cuba's sun and beach options are major attractions for foreign vacationers, who visit the island every year to enjoy the country's excellent beaches of warm crystal-clear water and fine white sand.

In addition, Cuba combines recreation and medical treatments to improve the quality of life, including such procedures as thalassotherapy, considering that Cuba is an island.

That medical modality benefits from the island's marine environment – air, water and climate – and other natural resources such as mud, sand and algae.

Moreover, sun and beach options, ecotourism, nature, adventures and medical services are complemented by several competitions and sports events, both national and international.

Cuba's tourist industry is also complemented by the country's geography, which offers its mountains, flora, fauna and caverns.

Experts say that there are more than 10,000 caves in Cuba, many of which are 25 million years old.

Cities with a well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture, hotels linked to plastic arts, patrimonial sites and a busy schedule of celebrations and festivities make up Cuba's tourist offer.

Cuba has about 120 art galleries, antique shops and art exhibition halls, in addition to nearly 260 museums and more than 80 theaters, which are excellent options for those looking for more than beach and sun in the Caribbean Island.

One of Cuba's major destinations is Havana, which has a complex of fortresses made up of nine large castles that among the most relevant constructions of its kind in the Spanish-speaking Americas.

In addition, Old Havana, which was declared Humankind's Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), holds more than 100 buildings from the 16th and 17th centuries, and about 200 houses from the 18th century.

In central Cuba, the major historic attractions are in Sancti Spiritus, the only Cuban province that holds two of the first villages founded by Spanish Governor Diego Velázquez in the 16th century: Villa del Espíritu Santo (Holy Spirit) y Villa de la Santísima Trinidad (Holy Trinity).

According to statistics, 48 percent of Cuba's historic sites are located in eastern Granma province, including the provincial capital, Bayamo, which was declared a National Monument and was capital of the Republic in Arms during the first war of independence in 1868.
