Cultural History Bordered by an extensive coastline that guards and shelters, Havana, with more than four centuries of history, is the main enclave for the development of communications and trade. City of famous columns and cobblestones, of stately houses and modern buildings, conserves the mestizo smile of its inhabitants. Its historic centre and its fortifications system were declared by UNESCO Heritage, which makes Havana a privileged city where the ancestral and historical converge harmoniously with the airs of the New Times. Beyond its limits, unmistakeable natural scenarios extend. Beautiful beaches, recreational centers sheltered by a lavish nature, so confirm. A solid hotel plant, restaurants, health and beauty centers among other services, complete the desire to live fully in the capital.

A picturesque city with the valley of the mills, the condition of humanity's patrimony. Founded
in 1514 by Diego Velázquez, it exhibits perfectly preserved its majestic palaces, squares, churches and alleys that hoard centuries of tradition and history. Very laid back with a perfect architectural destination, Vinales is a representation of the Cuban colonial style. Nature lovers also will find in it sufficient reasons to enjoy moments of relaxation in natural environments in Topes de Collantes or live the adventure of venturing in the warm waters of Playa Ancón. |
Viñales, Cuba
Viñales, a rural town in Western Cuba, is smack dab at the top of my list.
Viñales is the perfect combination of natural beauty and traditional Cuban culture. It is best known for its tobacco farms, languid lifestyle and the distinctive limestone hills of Valle de Viñales. A photographer's must destination! So if you’re into cigars, nature, and culture and photography, consider this your spot. |
