It is important to mention that the Cuban archipelago is composed of two main islands, some small ones and about 4,100 keys which are emerged lands from an underwater island shelf with an extension of 70,000 square kilometers.

In this sense, new options such as tourist circuits allow rediscovering the country through excursions including in one tour many attractions (culture, nature, nautical activities and meetings).

The abovementioned tourist circuit option includes the so-called “Rutas y Andares” (Routes and Paths) which is well established in the market and offers an opportunity to get familiar with Cuban history, architecture, traditions and customs of Havana´s historic heart.

Close to 140 buildings, located in this area, date back to the 16th and 17th centuries; 200 more are from the 18th and over 460 were built in the 19th century, thus shaping up a very attractive combination for the most demanding tastes.
