Tripcode: AUB

The best of Cuba: revolutionary history, faded colonial charm, lush tropical jungles, Caribbean beaches and vibrant Afro-Cuban culture

Cuba was described by Christopher Columbus as the most beautiful land on earth, and for good reason. There are famous attractions, such as Old Havana, lively Santiago and colonial Trinidad, but we also explore some fascinating less well known areas. We visit the Sierra Maestra � steep, jungle covered mountains filled with bird life, from where Castro and Che Guevara co-ordinated the Revolutionary War. A further highlight is two nights in Baracoa, a lively port town where Columbus first landed in Cuba.
