Self drives are possible in Eastern Cuba but road conditions are poor so a guide is recommended.

Life is a beach in Cuba. Some of the Caribbean's finest beaches can be found in Cuba, ranging from the  busy beaches of Varadero offering a vast range of activities on the beach and in the sea. The outlying islands of Cayo Santa Maria and Cayo Coco are connected to the main island by causeways allowing you to explore the centre of country on a range of day tours. The eastern beach resort of Guardalavaca is more off the beaten track and the pristine beaches on the low key island of Cayo Largo stretch for miles so you are always sure to find a spot on you own. For pure escapism head for Cayo Levisa off the coast of the Pinar del Rio Province.

Cuba has a history that stretches back to the days when Christopher Columbus landed in 1492. The Spanish colonised the island for almost 400 years. Cuba was the world's leading producer of sugar cane which bought in slaves from Africa, evidence of sugar plantations are still visibile all over the island, but best experienced at The Valley of The Sugar Mills near Trinidad. Cuba became the 1950's playground of the USA under the dictatorship of Bastista, and with that came corruption and drugs. Fidel Castro's Cuban Revolution was a revolt against the regime of Bastista and the government was reformed along communist lines. Havana boasts a range of museums that depist the lively history of the island.
