An island lost in time, Cuba is a decadent blend of romantic grandeur and off-beat Caribbean charm. Iconic 1950s automobiles parade through the seafront streets and rumba bars rub shoulders with centuries-old churches. Forested inland landscapes are home to tobacco plantations and rugged mountaintops, while swathes of white sand skirt the northern coast. On our tours of Cuba, we'll start in Havana before winding our way through the country, uncovering its treasures as we go - from Spanish colonial heritage to underground rivers.
