The 1,250km long island is home to a friendly and welcoming population of around 11 million Cubans ready to show you their beautiful island. With a famous history of communism and disputes with the United States, it can sometimes be easy to forget that this is the country of outstanding rum, unrivalled cigars and incredible yacht charters!
