Santiago de Cuba
The landscape here is very impressive - Santiago of Cuba is home to the Sierra Maestra mountain range and one of the most spectacular coastlines you’re ever likely to see. There’s also the famous Santiago de Cuba Carnival. The lively and friendly personality of the local Santiagueros is more than enough reason to visit this old province of Cuba.
Pinar del Rio
The fertile valleys of Pinar del Rio province are where some of the finest tobacco in the world comes from. Surrounded by its characteristic mountains, it’s home to the spectacular Valley of Viñales, a wonderful place for nature lovers. María la Gorda beach (in the extreme west) is a Mecca for scuba diving and Las Terrazas a Cuban ecological village.
Camaguey
