Since the early 90's new beach locations have emerged in Cuba among which Cayo Largo, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Coco are the most popular.

There is much more other than just beaches. Cuba was for many centuries the "Key to The Americas" and as a result its cultural and historic heritage is immeasurable. Its architecture is very striking. A mingle of Colonial and modern styles can be appreciated in most of the main cities in Cuba.
