Top Nature in Cuba

Bring some local currency for snacks and tips as card payments might not work everywhere. I paid too much for a water because I used USD.

Don't skip exploring the smaller trails off the beaten path. That’s where I found some hidden gems and fewer tourists. Totally worth it!

I suggest coming around sunrise at 6 AM for breathtaking views. The sunrise is stunning and way quieter, giving you the beach all to yourself before the heat hits.

I recommend checking out Playa Varadero on a weekday if you can. It gets super crowded on weekends, and you’ll enjoy the clear waters and soft sand without the crowds.

I recommend checking the weather before you go. It can change fast, and some days are just perfect for relaxing on the sand. I got caught in a rain shower, and it wasn't fun.
