If you are planning your Cuba holidays there will be many different factors you will have to consider before you depart. Everything you do will combine to make the perfect holiday to you and your family or whoever else you are travelling with. Here are the top tips you to think about.

One of the most important things that you need to do before you leave will be to make sure that you have both your passport in your possession and your Visa as well. Without both of these items you will be unable to enter into the country and therefore the entire trip will be put on hold.

The next thing that you really have to think about is what you are going to bring on the trip. Obviously you will take time packing your clothes and important belongings that you are going to need, however there are likely to be certain restrictions on what you can take and what you can’t. As such it is a good idea to get in touch with the relevant authorities who will be able to advise you on this matter.

You also need to consider the budget for the trip and how much money you are willing to spend both on the flights, accommodation, and all of the activities that you are going to do when you are there. Getting to Cuba can be quite expensive and therefore you need to set out a budget that will have some contingency money in it in case of any sort of emergency.

The last thing that you will need to consider will be your safety when you are there. This will come in many forms, with such things as vaccinations on the agenda as well is your safety on the streets of the city and in your hotel.

These are just some of the main things that you have to consider before you travel.

The Hotel Ambos Mundos offers one of the few venues in the Old Town for meetings. It is equipped with all kinds of audio-visual means, including video, datashow projectors and acrylic whiteboards. Besides, it works constantly as an art gallery since the beginning of the works by Jorge Caunedo, the contractor and the architect who modernized the hotel.

At this phase you might have already determined that Cuba is the country that you want to visit for your next vacation but perhaps need some assistance on the booking side of it . I know this could sound a bit too trivial but you should know few important things in order to get the best deal for your holidays in Cuba.

The fact that Cuba is such a delightful and ever more popular destination, presents travel agents with a real problem . Cuba is definitely not a last minute destination , in particular if you are travelling in the high season.

The busiest seasons in Cuba falls within the months of July and August, the Easter period, Christmas and New year’s eve . November, December, January, February and March are awfully trendy months especially among the European tourists in search of a warm country to avoid few days of miserable weather.

Quite regularly I get customers requesting me to arrange a package holiday for them in these particular periods, and every so often the phone call comes to close to the departure date . It is extremely frustrating for me and ultimately the client. For one pure reason, I just can not recommend holiday worth it because all the popular areas and best hotels are completely booked, and then I am left with the only honest answer I can give. “I am truthfully sorry but at this point there is nothing available that I feel comfortable recommending ”

If you are looking to stay in big resorts then there is not much to worry about. The problem presents it self when clients are interested in combining areas like Havana, Viales Valley, Las Terrazas, Cienfuegos, Trinidad and or Santiago de Cuba. Areas like these with the exception of Havana are very limited when it comes to hotel availabilities.

If you are looking to arrange a tailor made holiday to Cuba in a popular season my suggestion to you is to start with the arrangements at least 4 months prior to departure in order to secure not only the rooms in your preferred hotels but also the best tariffs from the carriers . If you however did not find this piece of writing before and are planning a last minute tailor made holiday , chances are something will be found for you but certainly the odds of getting the best hotels are not bright

In the case of low season months is trouble-free to find availabilities and good deals in terms of price and it really does not matter much when you call. Even so we feel very confident to put together the kind of itinerary that will fulfil your holidays

I truly hope you find some good tips in this article and sincerely wish you a fantastic time in Cuba.

At this stage you are probably looking for the best hotels in Havana to stay. I will highlight in this article few of the best hotels you can easily book online. If you are booking a holiday package most of these hotels will be offered by your travel agents.

Havana is divided into 14 quarters of which the most interesting and popular among tourists are the Old Town (Habana Vieja), Vedado and Miramar. Probably the best place to stay is the Old Town.

I would concentrate in this article in the Old Town area also known by the locals as Habana Vieja. There are over 20 hotels in the Old Town and if you check other reviews about hotels in Havana you will find these 3 to be the best options in terms of standard of accommodation: 5 * Saratoga Hotel, 5* Parque Central Hotel and 4*+ Santa Isabel Hotel.

There are other hotels in the Old Town that although are lower in star rating they are as charming and comfortable as the ones mention above. These 4 star hotels were built in the 18th Century to house the richest and most prominent families in Havana.

Florida Hotel, Raquel Hotel and O’Farril Hotel are among the most beautiful palaces. They have an average of 30 rooms each so the service is always going to be more personalized compared to those huge Havana hotels.

On the 3 star category then you can check Hostal Valencia, Comendador, Meson de la Flota and Beltran de Santa Cruz hotels. The only problem with this hotels is that you are not going to find availabilities if you don’t book well in advance as they are highly demanded for their price and comfort.

There are some 2 star hotels in the Old Town area but I will only recommend those to people on a very tight budget. Their prices are very cheap – somewhere around 15.00 CUC per person per night. I will advise to first read the reviews on Trip Advisor website before you decide to book one of this. Lido, Caribbean and Lincoln Hotels in the Old town are the best 2 star hotels.

In general Hotels in Habana Vieja are the best ones in terms of location and quality of the service. If you want to stay in a 5 star property you will be looking at around 85.00 CUC per person per night. A less expensive yet very decent would be the 4 star accommodation option with costs around 60.00 CUC per person per night.

There are many interesting places in Cuba to visit on your holidays but among the most popular is Viales Valley. This jewel of the Cuban geography combines so many natural formations. It is located in the second largest mountain range in Cuba. It is branded the best land for tobacco in the world. Its people are considered the nicest and most welcoming people in Cuba. Its rivers, forests, valleys, mountains, beaches, lakes and caves make it a must see place while on your holidays in Cuba

Today I would like to write about and amazing cave formation in Viales: La Cueva del Indio. This cave is part of a cavern system considered the largest in Latin America. You can visit this cave on a tour that is divided on two parts. First you walk along very constricted passages and slippery floor for about 10 minutes and then you find a under ground river along which you will get a ride on a boat until you reach the other end of the cave.

The silhouettes of its stalactites and stalagmites surprise the onlooker. Just at the entry of the cavern you will be able to see some of our endemic species like The Polymita Picta (a small snail with a multicolored pattern on its shell).

In the boat part of the excursion, an expert driver takes you along the stream and shows you all these amazing protruding formations, some of them with very strange shapes that look like a crocodile, a snake and even a witch. I am sure you will also discover your own shapes. It is a very tranquil ride as the steam of the watercourse is very calm which permit you to get pleasure from the beauty within this cave.

The river inside the cavern is available for tourists for about 500 meters. Although the river is a lot longer, for safety reasons is not navigable along its entire course. The whole cavern has not being completely explored because there are some areas that are completely under water.

The mass of water is amazing but you got even more amazed when the trip finishes: with all the water that you have seen inside, it is crazy to see that everything ends in a waterfall as high as a half a meter! For a moment you think that you and the boat will crash, but it is an experience worth living. After the fright, you will want to enjoy the trip again, this time knowing all what will happen.

If you are not staying in Viales Valley during your holidays in Cuba do not worry. You can still visit this cave in any of the excursions available from Havana. If you buy a holiday package please make sure to leave at least 2 or 3 nights in Havana so you can get the chance to do some interesting excursions like the one I have just recommend you. I am sure you will have a lovely time.

My last recommendation for your Cuba holidays is to read as much info about Cuba as you can.
