Kuba

The island of Cuba is located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, in the south of Florida, close to the Tropic of Cancer. It is long of 1250km and broad of a hundred kilometers, more than 7000 km of coasts and not far from 400 beaches a small air of paradise gives him. One finds there nearly 4195 cayos or small islands which are formed by the sand brought by the courants.

Fields of cane to sugar which extend as far as the eye can see, especially in the central areas of the island. The area of Pinar del Rio is producing of geological tabac.

Particular to visit: the mogotes (mountain limestones) of the valley of Vinales, on less scale than in Tropical Asia (China, Vietnam).

In fact, the disparities of flora and fauna proviennet of the diversity of the relief and the weather with effects.

Afer 9 H of flight, we arrive in end according to midday with Havana by the flight of AIR FRANCE. We change the euros brought directly to the exchange office of the air terminal of arrival. We travel by a taxi (25 $CUC for 4 people) for the center of Havana. Us planes reserve a room of hosts (put Spanish particular) in this quartier.

One says it immediately to you, if you want to really see country in Cuba, forget the train, the bus and even more the stop. There is almost no public transport national in Cuba if in fact tourist buses connect the principal cities with Havana. Therefore you will see Cubans everywhere making stop during hours on the roadside.

The best of the solutions is to rent a car (45 $CUC/day, insurance included/understood). Personally, we rented Peugeot 307 with agency MICAR in Havana to launch us to the adventure in the country. Very good agency.
