Cuba : The Michelin guide review
Since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean (bigger than Jamaica or Haiti), has made tourism a priority, highlighting its indisputable assets. Cuba is actually more an archipelago than an island, with over 4,000 cayos, or blissful little islands, the largest one being Juventud.
Aficionados of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters come to Cayo Largo to enjoy the rest and relaxation, deep-sea fishing (swordfish, marlin, barracuda) and diving to explore the extraordinary marine landscape with splendid coral reefs in shallow waters boasting gorgonia, fish and a variety of vegetation.
In addition to its innumerable seaside resorts (such as Varadero and María La Gorda), Cuba's main island offers a wide range of holidays reflecting its geography and culture. Its three mountain chains, two vast expanses of savannah, several valleys (Viñales, Yumurí and los Ingenios), waterfalls and cascades will delight nature-lovers.
You can hike or go horseback riding through Cuba's finest landscapes (mogotes), in the west, preferably in February or March during the tobacco harvest. The Sierra del Rosario, designated a biosphere reserve, is crisscrossed with cascades and natural pools near Las Terrazas and Soroa.
And don't forget that Cuba, the world capital of dance music (from salsa to mambo), would be nothing without its people, their fun-loving spirit and hospitality.
