Traveling Cuba easy. Tourism is one of the great engines of the economy and, besides the beaten sandpipers places where planes directly from Canada or Argentina, There is an extensive network of bus lines, accommodations and cultural attractions, and entertainment, and history- throughout the length of the island.
In recent weeks I have done a couple of weekend trips. First I went to Cienfuegos and Trinity, southward, and then Viñales, west of Havana. In all these places slept in homes, an alternative to hotels. Besides being more economical, and personal, are usually the most affordable option, as the number of houses is huge and you can travel with the peace of mind that you find accommodation anywhere without reservation.
I slept in private homes, an alternative to the cheaper hotels, Personal and accessible
The first of the trips was to these two historic towns whose charm and restoration has earned them the title of World Heritage Site by Unesco. They are two small places but, in its historic, accumulate a mixture of architectural gems that attract many tourists.
Cienfuegos was founded by an immigrant from Louisiana early nineteenth century to house fifty French families. A storm swept 1825 City, but was rebuilt keeping airs. The sugar industry and its broad benefits served to lift imposing buildings that still remain.
The restoration of its historic Trinity makes one of the most attractive places around the country
For his part, Trinity, which is near 40 Cienfuegos minute, is one of the first settlements on the island in the early sixteenth century. The restoration of the historic cobbled makes the city one of the most attractive places around the country. There are a few museums around the cathedral and countless private homes for the night facilitate the visit. Actually, alleys and courtyards can be known at a later, but well worth the visit to extend around.
The Valley of the Sugar Mills, eg, is one of the claims in this area. Just the remains of the splendor of sugar, and transferred to other areas. But the skeletons and industrial ruins can be visited walking tours, drive, by bicycle or on horseback. It is within walking distance of the city and is a place of calm and peace, thus escape, by cuenta own with the guide, Suppose escape it interesting ya su time something overwhelming Trinidad.
Viñales, otro valle
Junto al valle de los ingenios, otro de los Valles conocidos es el de Cuba Nature of Viñales, también declared World Heritage by the UNESCO. El pueblo tiene just a couple of calles bordered by countless private homes, to you that the offer of accommodation are extended; but he valle IM me is particularly valuable. Those are one of the only sites where it makes sense to view it and they just left over: the simplicity of it landscape, the little houses scattered y las Tierras where tubers are grown hacen it rest. Hay caves with natural swimming pool, roads, ground elevations sudden it, llamados "wooded hills", even a mural painted on the wall of a mountain. But walk among the red dirt trails or observe the ways of living and lost in many countries, transport to school by horse or oxen plowing- are worthwhile experiences.

It's funny, and both logical, the tourist season ends at this time. From December to May, Cuba attracts thousands of people; many Spanish, but especially Canadian. The summer months are hot and then happens the storm and hurricane season to open, again, the next season.
Will a couple of months I checked something even suspected to spend a few days in Cayo Largo, an island of no more than 25 Extension kilometers south of Cuba: is a popular tourist destination. No more than 10 hotels and flights arrive weekly directly from places like Buenos Aires and Montreal, in addition to the Cuba, with 200 and 300 landing people, are distributed in hotels and, past 7 the 10 days, will return to their countries. The famous formula of "all inclusive".
In Cayo Largo nothing makes one suspect his Cuban features beyond the warm waters and the reception to the sound of "Guantanamera"
Of course, nothing to suspect that this place has features beyond Cubans by the warm waters and the welcome to the sound of "Guantanamera" that interprets a group of musicians in the small airport terminal. In these hotels are advertised trips to Havana a day on a plane propeller. Other itineraries maintain the same line tourist destination to be at Varadero, a long sand spit much more exploited than Cayo Largo.
In short, I think the topic of Cuba beach as reason falls far short trip to the chances of meeting the rest of the country. Any areas that encloses many reasons to choose to drop by here.
