insightCuba: Discover Cuba Through its People
Cuba… a place and a people rooted in culture, history and curiosity. All but closed to Americans for nearly half a century, Cuba is finally ready to be explored.
Havana's best Cuban cigar tour
There's no better way to experience Cuba than through its cigars. The fascinating, long history of cigars in Cuba - from pagan gods to Fidel Castro - is connected to the incredible craft behind making them. This is the only way to understand one of the most mysterious parts of Cuban culture.

The positions of the original Havana city walls are the modern boundaries of Old Havana.
Cuba is a Caribbean island nation under communist rule. It has sugar-white beaches and is dotted with tobacco fields, which play a part in the production of the country's legendary cigars. The capital, Havana, is lined with pastel houses, 1950s-era cars and Spanish-colonial architecture in the 16th-century core, Old Havana. Salsa music plays in the dance clubs and cabaret shows are performed at the famed Tropicana.
