This guide is for adventurous backpackers who want to see off-the beaten track places. If that's you and you always wanted to see this exotic Island of freedom, then clear up two weeks in your schedule and follow my steps there.

Cuba dazzles, enchants, and lures you in with its melancholic beauty, vibrant culture, and gracious people. It's a place of eternal contrasts, where decay and elegance, real and surreal, live side by side — in its art, streets, politics, and way of life. Nowhere is its character more on display than in Havana. Narrow streets lined with crumbling mansions and pastel-colored vintage cars, parades of trumpeting musicians and gyrating stilt dancers, and the Habaneros for whom the streets are part of life. Around every corner, a new layer is peeled back to reveal yet another unexpected delight in this city of endless intrigue.
