Cuba, Varadero
Lined with pristine beaches and set to a soundtrack of salsa and rumba, Cuba is a unique island paradise that will welcome you with open arms. Known for its cigars, its rum, its classic cars, and above all else, its wonderful people, Cuba offers lots for those both on and off the beaten paths. In fact, there are still many little-known and rarely visited retreats sprinkled in with the island's many "hot spots".
