Cuba

Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean islands and is a diverse mixture of sounds, rhythms, colours and dances, where African beats merge with Spanish rhythms to celebrate the diversity.

With year round temperatures of 25ºC, beautiful beaches, colonial architecture, warm friendly people and a good range of hotels and tourist facilities, Cuba is an exciting new destination to discover.

Havana embodies all that is Cuban. In Havana, history, rhythm, melody and splendor all combine into a city that is truly unique. Enjoy Ernest Hemingway’s favourite hangout, Havana has a vibrant nightlife, with a variety of nightclubs, cabarets and historic theatres.
 
Cuba's larger towns are pretty relaxed. The most frenetic it gets is in the middle of an enthusiastic chachachá and the loudest it gets is behind one of the huge finned American cars chugging the streets. If you want it even quieter, Cuba's back country and beaches are perfect chill-out destinations for hikers, swimmers, spelunkers or those who just want to smoke a fine cigar under a palm tree.
 
When to go:
 
Cuba has a sub-tropical climate so any time of the year is warm. Between December and March days are pleasantly warm and dry, with an average temp of 25ºC. Between May and October temperatures rise to above 30ºC with high humidity and some short-lived showers, usually in the afternoon or evening. July and August are when the locals vacation and resorts are busy – peak time, but also its hottest time.
 
Note:
Most travellers to Cuba only require a Tourist Card, not a visa. These are available through Adventure World when booking Cuba land arrangements with us.

Staff Experience

Jane, Machu Picchu
The experience that I had at Machu Picchu was something that is hard to put into words...
 
I personally recommend taking the 4 hour train ride from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes and staying overnight to make the most from your time in Machu Picchu. The train ride is very scenic and comfortable and you can relax knowing you don’t have to rush your visit.
 
The following morning from Aguas Calientes you take a bus up to the ruins. It’s best to go early when there are fewer tourists. The ride is 30 minutes and follows a zig-zag path to the top of a steep cliff and from here it is a short walk to beautiful vistas and unbelievable ancient construction work.
 
An early morning visit allows you to view this spectacular site only interrupted by the waking birds and the grazing llamas eating their breakfast of grass grown in ancient soil!
