Stretching for 1250kms, the tropical island of Cuba is blessed with a moderate climate and is one the world's leading exporters of sugar. The total lack of advertising and western brand names is what strikes most visitors upon arriving in Havana, now declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Havana is a city in transition. Construction has begun on new hotels and many more are in the planning stages. Flashy new signs catering to tourists are appearing around town. And, of course, prices are going up. If you have ever dreamed of going to Cuba, do it now before it loses its rustic charm; do it while the old classic cars still outnumber the new ones and before tourists overrun the historic centers. Often using antiquated but characterful buses, we explore the cobbled streets and colonial architecture of Trinidad; vibrant Santiago and laid-back Baracoa with its pastel-colored houses. The abundance of tropical vegetation, the warm climate and the slow pace of life all contribute to the impression that hectic western lifestyle has mercifully passed Cuba by.
