The Cuban archipelago, strategically located in the Caribbean, stands out for the diversity of its leisure options in an environment complemented by the cultural, historic and natural values of the country.

The last months of the year comprise the peak tourist season in the island with the highest number of visitors to the different tourist destinations.

The key to this behavior lies in the Cuban climate which contrasts with the low temperatures which characterize the winter season in the northern hemisphere, thus allowing visitors to enjoy the crystal-clear waters which surround the island.

Airports, hotels, recreational facilities, car-renting offices and travel agencies work hand in hand to meet the demands of the growing tourist number.

Destinations like Havana, Cuba’s capital city which is full of traditions, architectural jewels and culture, are among the most preferred destinations due to the existence of a large variety of hotels near the coastline.

Cuba is also famous for its sun and beach options which are supported by diving opportunities in more than 70,000 kilometers of island shelf and about 5,000 kilometers of coasts which are bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

The geographical location of the island is the common route for migratory birds that fly long distances from North America to the South and back, to make a temporary stop to search for food and shelter.

Natural reserves, biosphere reserves, natural landscapes, national parks and protected areas make up an extensive network of offers characterized by its richness, excellent conservation and unique features of the region.

The mountain ecosystems also contribute to the dynamic growth of the sector, and many options already comprise tours and stays in these areas.

The relief of the country, including four mountain ranges which cover approximately 21 percent of the island’s surface and comprise 37 percent of the woodland, provides a significant potential for the activity.

All these natural features are complemented by the Cuban traditions, history and culture, which emerged from the combination of the indigenous population, the slaves brought from Africa and the Spanish who settled in Cuba during the colony time.

The leisure attractions can also be enjoyed in hundreds of keys which make up the Cuban archipelago in which Levisa, located in the western province of Pinar del Río, stands out for its three kilometers of excellent beaches and 23 diving sites.

Meanwhile, in the central area of the island, a causeway which extends 48 kilometers into the sea joins the main island to the keys Santa María, Las Brujas, Ensenachos, Cobos, Majá, Fragoso, Francés, Las Picúas and Español de Adentro, among others.
