Seasoned Caribbean travellers and first-timers alike are surprised and delighted by the cultural richness, natural beauty, and sheer exuberance to be found on this small island nation. From lush forests to a dynamic music scene, Cuba is a country of indefinable magic. Puff on Cuban cigars or cruise down the Havana streets in a ‘classic car for a true taste of the good life. Famous for its live music, performed in tattered theaters and spilling from once-grand rum bars onto cobbled streets.

Located at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean, the island nation of Cuba has long been isolated by the seas. So, it may come as a surprise that it was the first country in Latin America – and one of the first in the world – to develop a rail system.
