By Jose Mauricio Maurette
May 16, 2008
Cuba offers you bright colours, enticing tastes, joyous people, warm beaches, lovely natural attractions and fascinating cities, a great place for your holidays. This is a land of enchanting contrasts and friendly culture, inventive people whose happiness is contagious.

Cuba has great biodiversity, with well-preserved land and marine ecosystems. The average annual air temperature is 77.9 Fahrenheit's (25.5 Celsius), and the average annual temperature of costal waters is about the same. You can count on an average of 330 sunny days a year.

Cuba counts more than 300 natural beaches which are unique for the different hues of their clear, calm water; the beauty of its pristine cays; and their fascinating seabed.

The seabed of Cuba's insular shelf, which is 27,027 square miles (70,000 square kilometres) in size, contains areas which Jacques-Yves Cousteau (participant of the 1992 World Underwater Photography Championship) described as the most spectacular and varied on earth.

Cuba has a network of Scuba-diving centres with all the equipment you need for exploring its seabed and underwater caves in areas of singular natural beauty and speleological importance.

Cuba counts 236 protected areas, which cover 22 percent-around 10,328 square miles of the country's territory. They include the Valley of Viales in Pinar del Rio (a world heritage site by UNESCO) and several other areas that have been awarded the category of World Biosphere Preserves.

Cuba's cities have great architectural diversity: more than five centuries of styles, including colonial, pre-baroque, baroque, neo-gothic, neoclassical, eclectic, art nouveau, art deco, modern and post modern.

These are just some reasons why Cuba can be a perfect destination for your next holidays. There is a universe of options that you can go for. If you fancy swimming with dolphins, relaxing on a beach or simple soak up the atmosphere of its vibrant cities you have that for granted.
