Good to know

Welcome to Cuba, an enchanting destination in the heart of the Caribbean!

Cuba has a lot to offer:

Cultural richness: Cuba is a true cultural gem, where music, dance and art are omnipresent. You'll marvel at the intoxicating rhythms of salsa and son, as well as the vibrant colors that adorn the streets and historic buildings.

Breathtaking landscapes: The island abounds in spectacular scenery, from white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters to verdant valleys and the majestic mountains of the Sierra Maestra.

Warm hospitality: Cubans are renowned for their hospitality and friendliness. You'll be welcomed with open arms and quickly feel at home.

Historical heritage: Cuba has a rich history, visible in its well-preserved colonial cities, such as Havana and Trinidad, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

However, some features of this superb destination may come as a surprise to uninformed travelers:

Food quality: Although Cuban cuisine is tasty and unique, the availability of certain ingredients may be limited and the variety of dishes sometimes restricted. It is advisable to keep an open mind and sample local specialities.

The island's hotel mini-bars are stocked on demand, offering a personalized experience for every guest. Please note that some beverages may be out of stock

Quality of infrastructure: The quality of accommodation in Cuba is highly variable and far from European standards, especially in less touristy areas. Some regions also lack modern infrastructure, which can be disconcerting for travelers accustomed to the comforts of the developed world.

Hotels are rated 3*, 4* or 5* according to local standards. The services provided may not be equivalent to French 3*, 4* or 5* standards.

Internet access: Internet connection in Cuba may be limited and unreliable. Travelers should be prepared to disconnect partially during their stay.

With these elements in mind, Cuba offers a unique and memorable travel experience. Take the time to immerse yourself in the culture, discover its hidden treasures and enjoy the human warmth that characterizes this enchanting island.

Enjoy your trip!
