UNTOUCHED BY MASS TOURISM
If you want to discover the ‘real’ Cuba, now is the time. The eastern corner of the island is untouched by mass tourism.
There is something delicious about being foreign. So, whereas you won’t exactly be the first tourists to venture into the charming cobbled streets of Baracoa, you will be amongst the very few.
And you will be received with genuine warmth by the local people as you wander past gaily painted bungalows and colonial-style homes with elegant verandas. Expect sample plenty of the locally-made white chocolate that’s sold wrapped in palm bark.
And then it’s time to indulge in some lazing in the sun on the beach beside the gentle Caribbean, in the Cuchillas del Toa biosphere. If you’ve specified Villa Maguana as part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Cuba you’ll experience soft sea breezes, rustling overhead palms and tropical grounds filled with birdsong.
