There is absolutely nothing like the Caribbean Sea. Sand is so white as you cant really imagine and the beach water is blue, not a pallid blue, a beautiful turquoise blue the kind that make you smile and relax for just looking at it. Then we have the temperature I have had the chance to swim in the beaches of Canary Island, Spain. They are supposed to be great, and they are; but men, the difference is so big, the water feeling is so much more comfortable in the Caribbean, it almost feel like a nice warm shower.

While Cuban sea is gorgeous, you don’t really fly 500+ km and spend 800.00 EUR just to get a nice swim on a beach. You can and should also explore the countryside and it’s National Parks. Cuba have beautiful green plains and mountains with a very exotic variety of plants and birds. It is just perfect to practice Eco-tourism and activities: cycling, hiking, horseback riding, running just keep you active while discover the authenticity of the Island.
