The Cuban archipelago, full of tourist attractions, combines traditional options and new offers for thousands of foreign vacationers who visit the country every year.

Excellent beaches of fine white sand and warm crystal-clear water are among the major options for tourists, both nationals and foreigners.

Cuba's exuberant nature, centuries-old traditions and history are complemented by more than 70,000 kilometers of Cuba's insular platform and 5,000 kilometers of coastline, including 600 kilometers of beaches, which are excellent for scuba diving and snorkeling.

In western Cuba, the world-famous Varadero beach, which runs along 22 kilometers on the Hicacos peninsula, is one of the most visited destinations by foreign vacationers.

Mixed races and centuries-old customs resulted in a unique culture that combines African, aboriginal, Chinese, French and, of course, Spanish elements, creating a unique and rich mixture.

That mix is present everywhere in Cuba, especially in Havana, which offers traditional sun and beach options and those aimed at a specific sector of vacationers, and whose historic heart treasures several elements from the Spanish-colonial period.

Cultural and historic facilities, businesses and hotels provide a one-of-a-kind tourist option for those who chose Cuba to spend their vacations.

Culture and history are complemented by traditions inherited from the colonial period. Other programs consist of nautical activities, trekking and ecotourism.

Therefore, getting closer to nature from a beach or city adds value to the tourist product, especially in Cuba, whose fauna is made up of 16,500 species and where more than 90 percent of zoological groups are endemic.

Moreover, the autochthonous flora consists of more than 6,300 varieties of different colors and shapes.

Natural and biosphere reserves, natural landscapes, national parks and protected areas create a varied offer characterized by its excellent preservation and unique features in the region.

Travelers to Cuba can also visit sites that are famous for their thermal and medicinal waters, so that they can combine medical treatments to improve their quality of life and tourism.
