Havana
Havana’s cobblestone streets and colorful colonial architecture invite travelers to step back into a living museum of Cuban culture, where salsa rhythms spill from every corner and historic cafés echo the island’s storied past. Beyond the capital, a short drive takes you to Baracoa’s lush pine forests, Vinales’ rolling tobacco terraces, and the towering limestone cliffs of Los Lorenzos Complex, while El Cristo Park offers panoramic views that capture the city’s vibrant spirit against the Caribbean sky.
