Cuba

    

Cuba is an island of contrasts, a veritable wonder of nature.
Cuba's cities, marked by time, convey pure nostalgia and Cuba's friendly inhabitants welcome visitors with open arms and are happy to share their lives with every guest.

Cuba's population is a mixture of all imaginable cultures: whites and blacks, city dwellers, farmers and fishermen live happily together.
The lively Cubans know how to carry their fellow human beings along with their own enthusiasm.
More than 200 bays, 300 sandy beaches, a water temperature of 25° C to 28° C and 330 days of sunshine a year invite you to enjoy activities around the water.
The most pleasant time to visit is from November to April. This is the dry season and the average temperature is 25°C. There can also be a few cooler days in January.

The Bahamas are 140 km away, Jamaica is 146 km away and Florida is 180 km away. Cuba has something for everyone: Havana, Varadero, Pinar del Rio, Trinidad, Santiago de Cuba - picturesque landscapes and lively cities, paradisiacal beaches and lush vegetation... and of course the enchanting cayos, the small offshore islands that are just waiting to be discovered! There are 4,195 islands and islets around the main island of Cuba and the offshore Isla de la Juventud.

Diverse landscapes and picturesque towns invite you to get to know and love the island.

The Cuban healthcare system offers treatment options for patients who wish to be treated locally. (www.smcsalud.cu)
