There are few more fascinating destinations in the Caribbean than its largest and most populous island, Cuba -- not least because it has been a socialist republic since the 1959 revolution, when Fidel Castro seized power. This last remaining vestige of state socialism, 90 miles south of Key West, Florida, was once the last stronghold of Spanish power in the region. Cuba's rich artistic heritage ranges from pre-Columbian cultures to the splendors of Spanish colonialism and the internationally acclaimed art of today. It is also a place of great natural beauty, with three magnificent mountain ranges and fertile plains where sugar cane and tobacco grow. And it has some of the best beaches in the world. A quarter of Cuba's 11 million people live in and around Havana, which lays claim to being the most beautiful city in the Caribbean. Old Havana, with its square mile of colonial palaces, handsome plazas and charming cobbled alleys was, along with Mexico City and Lima, one of the three richest Spanish cities outside Spain. It has been designated by UNESCO as a city of world heritage. Visit www.caribbeandreamsmagazine.com for more information.

Havana, Cuba Tourism, Havana, Cuba Vacation, Havana, Cuba Tours, Visit Havana, Cuba Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube Havana City is the capital city of Cuba, and one of the fourteen provinces of the Republic of Cuba. Weather in Havana, Cuba ======================= Cuba has a tropical climate, with warm, humid weather all year long, though cold temperatures have occured in the mountains before. Being surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba has warm water year round, with winter water temperatures at 75F, spring and fall temperatures at 78F and summer temperatures at 82F. See in Havana, Cuba ================= Museum of the Revolution and the Capitol Building. Visit a live cigar factory. One offering tours is at the intersection of Peñalver and San Carlos (just 1 mile southwest of Old Havana La Habana Vieja), tickets can/should be bought in advance (10 CUC per person as of July 2014). English tours are available. Please note that there is no photography allowed. It is the place where you can also be sure to get the correct cigars in the shop - more expensive than 'street offers' - but the quality of these "street offers" is definitely questionable, . Note that the Partagas cigar factory just behind the Capitol Building has closed permanently since late 2011. Havana Club Rum Factory. Go on a guided tour of Havana Club, one of Cuba's most famous rums. Most of the exhibits are subtitled in English and are fairly self-explanatory. Walk along the Prado street in the evening. Great public space - unfortunately not illuminated at night. The Prado hums with street life, cafes and charm. Walk along El Malecón. A favorite stroll for tourists and locals, a walk along the Malecon runs along the main streets of Havana and provides stunning views of the Bay. Enjoy the glory of La Habana Vieja (The Old Town), some of it faded and crumbling - but there are many beautifully restored buildings as a result of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. Plaza de la Revolución. Huge square dominated by a statue and monument of Jose Marti and the iconic image of Che Guevara adorning the Ministry of the Interior. Arrive either early or late, as it is often swamped by tourists and gets very hot during the day. John Lennon Park in Vedado. Features the only statue of a western musician in Havana. Notable for the regularly stolen (and replaced) eyeglasses. The US Special Interests building in Vedado, just off the Malecon. In the absence of a United States embassy in Cuba, this heavily fortified and guarded building is where Cuban citizens go to apply for US Visas. It was notable for displaying news which is unfiltered and not censored by the Cuban government on electronic billboards situated behind the windows of one of the floors, but these were switched off in 2009. It is also the focus for regularly staged protests. Hotel Habana Libre in Vedado. The hotel housed Castro's soldiers for several days after they took Havana. It has an excellent selection of photos in the lobby along with one of the only 24 hour fast food restaurants in the city. Enjoy extraordinary 360-degree views of the city using the large Camara Oscura in the old town. The Catedral de San Cristobal in old Havana. Said to be the only example of a baroque construction that possesses asymmetrical features, one of the towers is wider than the other. Plaza de Armas. Spacious and elegant, the square is surrounded by baroque constructions that give it a authentic colonial milieu. Castillo de la Real Fuerza, Plaza des Armas. Castillo de La Real Fuerza is the oldest bastioned fortress in the New World and has now reopened as a Cuba’s premier maritime museum. Do in Havana, Cuba =============== Walk along the Malecón, the sea wall that runs along the Havana coastline. On weekends this is where the locals come to party, so bring a bottle and join in. Latin American New Cinema Festival, [6] is a popular event held every December, screening international films and drawing around 500,000 people. Tropicana Show — A cabaret show that costs 90CUC. Take a tour in an old car — For around 20-30CUC an hour for up to four people, be driven around Havana in style. Choose a car you like near the Hotel Inglaterra or outside the Museum of the Revolution. Go to the eastern beaches (Playas del Este) — There's a bus leaving from Hotel Inglaterra every 30 minutes. Price is 5 CUC for a roundtrip. The ride takes about 30 minutes. Walk around Havana Vieja in the early mornings, or take a very long walking tour with "Havana Frans", a Dutch jazz photographer who lives in Havana.

Jonny here, right now I'm in Havana, and in this short film I'm going to explain a little about tourism in Cuba. Most cultural holidays to Cuba will start in Havana, a city of magnificent decaying colonial architecture, monuments and parks, museums and galleries, music and bars and large old American cars. But the first thing you'll probably notice wandering around Havana is the near total lack of consumerism. Cuba is still a communist country with no commercial influence from America, and as such there's almost no evidence at all of the large multinationals we're used to in the West; you won't find any Starbucks or McDonalds here. There are no billboards advertising Coca Cola, there are no glass fronted shopping malls. Which is actually really quite refreshing. The whole city gives you a sense of stepping back in time. Here in Havana you should enjoy a tour of the cities main sites, an evening at the Bueno Vista Social Club, and trip to one of her many museums. You'll need at least a couple of days, its a very fun place. In two weeks time Trinidad will celebrate its 500 anniversary. Founded only a few years after Christopher Columbus discovered the America's, the town shot to prominence in the 19th century as one of the world's largest exporters of sugar. With its fine plazas, palaces and churches, and its famous cobbled streets lined by colourful houses, it developed into masterpiece of colonial Caribbean architecture. So well preserved is the town that in 1988 it was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status and today forms an important part of most cultural trips to the country. From Trinidad you might continue east to visit the revolutionary centre of Santiago de Cuba, or head west to enjoy the amazing landscapes around Vinales. Or you might like to do something completely different. Of course there are plenty of other things to enjoy in Cuba besides the cultural highlights Trinidad and Havana offer. Cuba is blessed with beautiful countryside through which to can go hiking, cycling and horse back riding. Right now I am at a government ranch called La Guabina, in Pinar del Rio province. Each year Wild Frontiers takes the place over to run a horse riding tour of the area and horse riding is primarily what I have come here to do. But if riding is not your thing, from here you can also go on wonderful walks, go fishing or boating on one of the regions many lakes, indulge in some bird watching, or just relax away from the more chaotic life urban Cuba has to offer. And finally of course there are beaches. As an island over a 1000 kilometres in length, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other, there are hundreds of wonderful beaches just waiting to be enjoyed. And in our experience, Cayo Levisa, where I am now, is one of the best. Relatively close to Havana, and relatively small in size, Cayo Levisa offers all the usual activities you'd associate with a modern beach resort, like sailing, fishing snorkeling and diving, but is small enough to not have you feeling drowned by mass tourism. As with a number of other similar locations, Cayo Levisa offers a great way to round off your trip to Cuba. Of course a cultural adventure to Cuba will not be for everyone. With luxury accommodation pretty much non-existent, transport pretty basic, the cuisine though in places surprisingly good, in others rather plain, and a service level that is at best eclectic, those looking for a high end experience will almost certainly be disappointed here. But if you're the kind of traveller that is interested in seeing a country that hasn't really changed in the last 50 years, a place that has not been overwhelmed by all the trappings of modern consumerism, and are happy to go with the flow in one of the world's last remaining communist countries, then here in Cuba you will find one of the most friendly, authentic, historically interesting and culturally rich places in the whole of Latin America. My advice is to come soon before it all changes.

Travel video about destination Cuba. Basking in the Caribbean sun, the island of Cuba lies between sun and socialism, rumba and revolution. Havana is the capital. In 1553, the Spanish conquerors designated Havana’s harbour as a collection point for ships loaded with gold and silver from the new Spanish colonies and named the settlement, San Cristobal De La Habana.La Bodeguita Del Medio was once Hemmingway`s local and nowhere else is the ‘Mojito’ mixed better: three year old white rum, lime juice, soda, sugar, ice and mint. Whether it be the Teatro Marti, the Old Tobacco Factory, the famous Bacardi house, or the Floridita Bar, everywhere there is a feeling of nostalgia. When the Daiquiri is served, one almost expects Fidel Castro to be sitting at the next table. Pinar Del Rio is a small but busy town in which the Red Star and portraits of Che Guevara are displayed for all to see. In the old town, colourful houses with beautiful pillared corridors demonstrate the former wealth of the country’s independent tobacco growers. Time means little here. While observing life on the streets, one begins to think in the same relaxed tempo of the leisurely-smoked cigars. A visit to a tobacco factory is a must. Cuba’s cigars are world famous. Together with sugar, tobacco is the country’s most important export. The oldest geological formation in Cuba are the Mogotes, well-weathered limestone peaks which, supported by pillars, once covered a large complex of caves. Over many decades, subterranean rivers flooded the earth below and thus created these gigantic grottos. On seven manmade islands in the centre of the Cienaga De Zapata National Park, is the Indian village of Guama. This swampy nature reserve with its dense mangrove forest vegetation offers an ideal sanctuary for many rare water birds. No Cuban town has changed as little in two hundred years than that of Trinidad. In the 18th century, the city experienced great wealth and recognition due to the cultivation of sugar cane and the luxurious palaces and villas of the sugar barons still leave their mark on the city. Rich green tropical forests, tobacco country at the foot of mysterious mountain caves, humid tropical swamps, history, cigars and rum. Cuba is a colourful cocktail

All together two million Spanish, Indian, African, Chinese, Mulato and other peoples live here together in peace. The Metrobus, a long bus pulled by a semitrailer holds 200 people at a time transporting them throughout the city which spans 45km. It's the biggest settlement in Central America. Fortunately, the tourist sites are limited to a smaller territory than this in the Vieja Habana, Centro Habana and Vedado City regions. Sought by everyone, relics of the colonial past can be found in the old town Vieja. Outside the former city wall, in the middle of a monumental park, the building of the Capitollo can be found. This huge palace with a white dome is the symbol of the American influence. It was built in 1929, taking the capital in Washington as a model. Due to its designer's healthy Cuban self confidence, it was built to be one meter higher than the original. It served as the parliament of the Cuban republic for three decades. In one of its wings, the House of Representatives and the other wing, the senate was in session. After the victory of the revolution, a new function was given it and today, it is the seat of the Cuban Scientific Academy. Because there's a lot of room left in it, the Museum of Natural Science and the Planetarium were also set up here. The 208 meter wide façade looks under Martilla Esplanade which is always busy and broadens to become a square. Next to the capital, an impressively beautiful building can be seen. This neoclassical palace ornamented with statues columns and small towers is the national theater which was named after the antifascist poet Federico Garcia Lorca. As a result of his beliefs, General Franco had him executed. Exploring the real beauties of the city can be done best on foot but sightseeing can also be continued by hailing a cab. In the street opening opposite, we can find El Floradita which is a bar and a restaurant in one and is one of the most popular in Havana. In the corner of the bar, Hemingway leans against the counter as he used to do when yearning for a swig of daiquiri. This cocktail was first given to workers as a refreshment in the mine the bar was named after. It is made in many ways but its base is Cuban white rum, lemon juice and lots of ice. Sugar syrup, triple sec or maraschino can also be added but it can be made with banana or orange as well and it's best to drink it right here on the spot. The determining elements of the panorama of Havana are the American old timers. In the 1950s, Americans not only bough real estate here, but they also brought their cars which were the most modern at that time. After the revolution, Fidel nationalized the cars too. They belong to the national heritage. They're not for sale even if the collector had paid huge amounts for a chrome osmobile or a pink Cadillac, a wing Chevrolet or a Studebaker. In Cuba, there are no places where they dissemble old cars. The wrecks can still be driven. As spare parts are not available for these models at all, it's a challenge to maintain them. Perhaps there's little money but there's always an idea.

World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Cuba Travel Guide http://bit.ly/17jZOBD Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Varadero, a resort town in Cuba and one of the largest resort areas in the Caribbean. The rays of the tropical moonlight broke into pieces rocking on the waves. Here in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, the breeze brings the sweet smell of blooming lemon trees and burnt sugar. A quick sniff of the air was enough to know the islands are not far away. They're like green twinkling scattered emeralds in the sea and you could feel on each of them that the other one will be more unspoiled and intact than the previous one. It's an ideal home for Robinson Crusoe. Paul Monette starts his novel Havana with these lines. The atmosphere and the natural beauties of Cuba have also inspired others to write poetic lines. It's enough to think of the revolutionary poet Jose Marti and of course Hemingway whose spirit follows the traveler all the way wherever he goes in the country. A long narrow peninsula reaches into the sea 140 km from Havana and 20 km from Matanzas and it separates the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It's Varadero, the world famous resort of the islands which was a popular destination of vacationers and foreign tourists even between the two World Wars. In the 1950s American businessmen invested here having hotels and casinos built in this way. 100000 Americans arrived here to relax and soak up the sun. Life was great. Champagne and rum flowed, cigar smoke was abundant, Caribbean music with its spinning rhythm wafted over the beach and on stage, Cuban girls danced in bikinis decorated with features. Millionaires had their luxurious villas built here. Then politics intervened, there was a revolution and the relationship between Cuba and America is strained yet today as a result. Hotels and villas were taken over by the state. In the meantime Varadero has again become the most popular tourist destination in the world but especially for Europeans. Next to the old ones, new four and five star luxurious hotels meeting everybody's requirements have been built. The majority of them belonged to the former Spanish colonists. On the snow white sandy beach dignified royal palm trees nod. The waters crystalline, turquoise and incredible shades of blues and green. Shops sell Cuban cigars even today and at the bars of the hotels, skillful bartenders mix daiquiris, mojitos and the Cuban libre. The peninsula is closed by a barrier. Here, only taxis or hired cars can enter so tourists can have their holiday without being disturbed. The breeze blowing from the sea moderates the tropical heat. The hotel rooms are of course air conditioned. Restaurants offer specialties of the Caribbean region and international dishes as well. It's especially worth trying the roasted dishes and the aromatic fruit and there are cocktails made without alcohol too. Cuba gives tourist from former east bloc countries a chance to reencounter their past as if they were taking a trip back in time. At the markets, we can buy mainly wood carvings and pottery as souvenirs but cigar boxes equipped with the vapor meter, original machetes, maps drawn on leather and paintings in bamboo frames can also be had. In the street, we can see small two seat motorbikes with yellow cabins which almost look like the tuktuk of Thailand but there are also carts which function as taxis here. In the city, you can take one of the open sightseeing double-deckers. In the city center, we can also see some of the old wooden villas. Among the simple small bungalows, there're some colonial palaces and luxurious vials which have been converted into restaurants. A sort of American travelling monument of the 1950s are old timers and although the most can be seen in Havana, they also add color to the panorama of the city of Varadero. Don't be surprised if somebody starts the engine of his car with a crank. The ignition key may have been taken away by the American owner of the car 40 years ago.

RR9606/B - CUBA: HEALTH TOURISM (dur: 10 mins 43 secs/eng. sot: none/Spanish sot: 2 mins 57 secs) Increasing numbers of foreigners travel to Cuba as "health tourists" in order to receive medical treatment, either because it's cheaper there or because it's not available in their own country. Cuban equipment, know-how and medicine combine to make health care a potential force for economic growth. In 1995, for instance, a pioneering team of Cuban and Spanish surgeons developed a new technique for the surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease. Two of the areas where health tourism is growing are treatments for certain eye and skin conditions, including retinitis pigmentosa or night blindness, vitiligo and psoriasis.

Surge of Americans tests limits of Cuba's tourism industry.

A recent surge of American tourists visiting Cuba puts the Caribbean island's tourism industry at test as it struggles to overcome infrastructure bottlenecks. SHOWS: HAVANA, CUBA (RECENT - JANUARY 20, 2016) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) Cuba's tourism industry is under unprecedented strain and struggling to meet demand with record numbers of visitors arriving a year after détente with the United States renewed interest in the Caribbean island. Its tropical weather, rich musical traditions, famed cigars and classic cars were for decades off limits to most Americans under Cold War-era sanctions, but those restrictions are fading. Once a rare sight, Americans are now swarming Old Havana's colonial squares and narrow streets along with Europeans and Canadians. Entrepreneurs and hustlers have responded by upping prices on taxi rides, meals, and trinkets. Cuban women who pose for pictures in colourful dresses and headwraps while chomping cigars are now charging $5 instead of $1. Cuba received a record 3.52 million visitors last year, up 17.4 percent from 2014. American visits rose 77 percent to 161,000, not counting hundreds of thousands of Cuban-Americans. Industry experts worry the island will be unable to absorb an even greater expected surge when scheduled U.S. commercial airline and ferry services are due to start this year. As it is, foreigners face extreme difficulties booking hotels and rental cars, and those who hoped to discover Cuba before the hordes arrive realize they are too late. One of them was American tourist, Jerry Christ, who was surprised at how many visitors had also chosen Cuba as their vacation destination. "I was amazed at the fact that there are so many tourists down here. I didn't realize the Japanese, Spaniards, so many different people from all over the world are here already and also Americans. I have seen more Americans than I thought that I would see down here," he said. Jose Luis Perrello, a tourism professor at the University of Havana, said Cuba lacks the infrastructure to handle the rapid surge in tourists outside its traditional beach resorts. "The 17.3 percent increase (in tourism in Cuba) is the biggest increase for all of the Caribbean region in 2015. What was the challenge? The Cuban tourism industry wasn't prepared for an increase in tourism outside of the traditional product of sun and beach," he said. The United States and Cuba agreed in December 2014 to end five decades of animosity and have since restored diplomatic ties, igniting international buzz about Cuba. The opening has benefited Cuba's small private sector, which offers restaurants and rooms for rent in family homes. But the tourism infrastructure, with just 63,000 hotel rooms nationwide, is still largely a function of the state and has languished under decades of U.S. economic sanctions and underdevelopment. Havana's international airport lacks sufficient infrastructure such as luggage trucks and passenger stairs to handle the influx, causing bottlenecks. The owner of a private café in Havana, Luis Carlos Benvenuto Solas, said his main challenge was maintaining enough supplies to meet the growing number of customers. "The groups that are coming are also bigger, so that is good for business. It's a big challenge because it's the issue of suppliers and how to get everything to maintain the same standard and same quality - it makes it very complicated. Since there are no wholesale stores we have to buy in the same stores as everyone else and there isn't a lot of stock actually," he said. A select number of foreign-run hotels, such as those of Spain's Melia Hotels International, fill up fast, leaving many visitors with little option but tired state-run motels or rooms in private homes. Some have been priced out or bumped from hotels, especially in Havana, where high-end U.S. groups reserve blocks months in advance and pay higher prices. The increased presence of Americans is especially noticeable in Havana, and, because there has been little enforcement of the tourism ban, some are also enjoying Cuba's beaches and bars with little effort to disguise their intentions. Collin Laverty, founder of Cuba Educational Travel, which organizes tours for legally permitted travel for Americans, said he the country's infrastructure bottlenecks were likely to become a problem in the near future. "There are a series of challenges: you have everything from infrastructure, which would go from the airport to the hotels. Now, I think, for the first time ever, you're really seeing a shortage of even buses and tour guides. So you have challenges there. I think in the future you will see challenges with electricity grids, with water systems, as you see more people come and using those resources," he said.

In Cuba, cab drivers are the one percent Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Cuba’s economy works as a central planning model, where government ministries dole out resources and set everything from prices to inventories to salaries. The fact that a taxi driver can make so much more than a physician is a reflection of the Cuban government’s heavy focus on tourism. For years, the central planning apparatus has valued tourism as a key mechanism for both bringing in revenue as well as propagating the idea that Cuba is thriving. Many pesos are collected by the high prices on everything related to the tourism industry.

World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Cuba Travel Guide http://bit.ly/17jZOBD Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Santa Clara in Cuba, which surrounded by hills came into existence in 1689 and soon became the center of the region due to its location. Santa Clara, the seat of the Villa Clara region owes its existence to the fact that the coastal city of San Juan delos Remedios suffered a lot from pirates. The pirates attack caused a majority of the population to look for a safer place further inland. Santa Clara surrounded by hills came into existence in 1689 and soon became the center of the region due to its location. The main square Park Vidal was named after the colonel who died during the second war of independence here. The square looks like any other square in Cuba. It has beautiful parks and is decorated by peacock flowers, boxwood and royal palms with a classical bandstand in the middle. The houses flanking the square were built in the 1920s and are mainly buildings with pillars and arcades. One of them is the best café in the city, the neoclassical building of Palacio Provincial is decorated by ionic columns and big tympanum. The building houses offices and a library and we could find a cinema, bank and several hotels on the square. The biggest building is the renovated Teatro la Carida. It's tympanum on the façade has a slashed shape rather than a common triangular one. If it hadn't been for Che Guevara, today's Santa Clara might only have its main square to be proud of. In this way, however, we can't miss the square of revolution and the mausoleum which houses the remains of Che Guevara and 16 of his fellow combatants killed in 1967 during the Bolivia Campaign. In the huge Plaza dela Revolucion, the monumental statue of the hot tempered but ardent commander can be seen from far away. The relief of the pedestal depicts the episodes of Che's life. Across the square, a museum commemorates his life of 39 years. In 1998, Pope John Paul II held mass here with a crowd of worshipers. Live fast, dangerously and die early. This may be the watchword of every true revolutionary but Ernesto che Guevara lived it. He was born in 1928 in Argentina and was executed in 1967 in Bolivia. Today, he lives on as a legend Tags: Visit Santa Clara in Cuba,Cuba Travel Attractions,cuba travel guide,cuba travel information,Cuba travel tips,santa clara in cuba,shepherd entertainment,world travel,shepherdfilm
