April 19/30: Cuba discovery

Published on 3 February 2022

A journey to discover Havana, the biosphere reserves in the province of Pinar del Rio and the depths of Maria la Gorda, on the most remote point of the island.
The island of Cuba is the largest of the Antilles, held in the arms of the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. The festive atmosphere that reigns on the island will accompany us as we discover its natural treasures, cities and warm Cuban people. A trip to Cuba is, in fact, an opportunity to combine different interests in art, culture and love for the sea and diving in a single holiday. Diving in Cuba is the best in the Caribbean area, renowned for the excellent condition of the coral reef, characterized by sumptuous coral gardens, sponges of various shapes and a rich fauna.
L'Havana it is a tenacious Caribbean metropolis, a boiling jumble of noble monuments and dance music, with few cultural equals. Continuing west we will cross the province of Pinar del Rio, "The garden of Cuba", between biosphere reserves (the Sierra del Rosario and the Peninsula de Guanahacabibes) and the Viñales valley, Unesco World Heritage Site to land on the white beach of Maria la Gorda, once a refuge for pirates, today a quiet seaside resort with a beautiful 8km beach, ideal for admiring breathtaking sunsets and a renowned diving center. The seabed has steep walls that sink into the blue, covered with sponges and black coral fans, canyons to be crossed in the company of giant groupers stationed in the area not at all afraid by divers.
