41 reasons to visit Cuba
Traveling around South America and Central America, I met people from all over the world and all of them planned to visit different countries. But I found out that many of them plannedcheap holidays to Cuba among other exotic countries.
I always wanted to visit Cuba as well, but each time another country has come first and I don’t even know why. Now thinking of it, I don’t find the reason why I haven’t booked a flight to this beautiful country yet.
Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba, consists of the main island of Cuba, Isla de la Juventud and some archipelagos.
We all know that Cuba, a Communist country, used to make it difficult for the foreigners to enter. Nowadays it is much open and it welcomes tourists from all over the world.

But I do find a lot of reasons why to visit Cuba, the largest and the most populated Caribbean island.
At least 41 reasons come to my mind right now:
- nice weather with some 330 days of sunshine per year
- more than 300 breath-taking beaches with warm transparent water
- Cuban music
- famous Cuban cigars
- very distinctive culture you cannot find anywhere else in the world
- friendly people

One of my top reasons is salsa. I took the Cuban style of salsa dancing (rueda de casino) for 2 years. Though it’s been a while and I’m kinda rusty, I would love to dance there!

Sexy black guys and curvy girls…? You are very funny though I can see how that fits into your site :)
Snorkeling and exotic wildlife definitely appeal to me as well as the general level of safety for tourists.
