Arrive before the crowds.
More and more tourists will discover this magical island and everything it has to offer. The time to arrive in Cuba is now, before mass tourism arrives and before it loses part of its culture in order to please tourists. A very safe island that can be explored peacefully from north to south by car or with a tour.

Part of Cuba's charm is due to its simplicity, the possibility of staying in colonial houses or in star-rated hotels with a Caribbean style and visiting the historic cities.
The beautiful beaches today are not overcrowded and the restaurants are still authentic, the cuisine simple, the live music, it is wonderful to dine or have lunch outdoors in a colonial square or by the sea and it is an exclusive experience still at affordable prices.
Cuba is synonymous with authenticity, culture and friendly people and the more tourists visit it the less likely it will be able to maintain this identity.
So why visit Cuba this year? To enjoy the true experience of a country still unforgettable and unique.

Try barrel-aged Rum.
One of the most famous products originating from Cuba besides tobacco is the sweet delicious Rum. For a country made rich by sugar cane it was only a matter of time before Cubans discovered around 1830 that thick sweet molasses, a byproduct of sugar cane that was used to make rum. Like the country itself, the history of rum is long and tumultuous. In 1862 the Bacardi Rum Company was founded and for almost a hundred years it was the most well-known rum in Cuba until the family left the island. Today the most popular in the world is Havana Club which you will also find in special editions and in various types of aging.
The Mojito, the Cuba Libre and the Daiquiri all originated in this country and can be found almost everywhere you go, absolutely worth visiting La Bodeguita del Medio for the Mojito and the Daiquiri at the Floridita bar both in Havana. Finding the perfect and best Rum is a challenge that many visitors choose to take on. Visits to the Havana Club museum and the Bocoy Factory are just a couple of stops on any rum tour. The original Bacardi Rum Factory still exists in Santiago de Cuba and, although it is not allowed to visit inside, it is worth visiting the large gardens for tastings and souvenirs. It would be a shame to leave Cuba without trying at least some types of rum and it is just one more reason to visit this beautiful country.
