For our American friends – who are sadly barred from travel to Cuba for now – there are ways to legitimately travel to Cuba via Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas.

One of the nice things about the popular Varadero Beach area, in general, is the great number of resorts found here, so the visitor has lots of choice with quite a price range. It even has its own airport, the Juan Gualberto International Airport, offering direct flights to/ from our area.

There are several interesting nearby caves and a chain of cays, the Bellamar Caves, for example, contain ornate crystal sculptures, pictographs, and underground rivers and ponds. Some of the area caves are actually located underwater, but they can easily be explored by divers, for example, La Cueva de Saturno, a cavern flooded with a mixture of both inland and sea water, has beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. Varadero is also home to Cuba’s first championship golf course, the Varadero Golf Club.
