Discovering Havana's Charm

Cuba's capital, Havana, pulsates with a unique energy that captivates visitors from around the globe. While it's tempting to immerse yourself entirely in the urban hub, consider a brief exploration to savor the city's essence before venturing further. Ditching mainstream accommodations for a stay in a 'casa particular' ensures an authentic experience, complete with insider tips on where to find the best local cuisine. Art aficionados shouldn't miss Fabrica de Arte Cubano, a one-of-a-kind gallery housed in a former industrial space, offering a glimpse into Cuba's contemporary art scene beyond salsa rhythms.

Unveiling Southern Charms

Once you've savored Havana's delights, set your sights on the southern gems of Cuba. Santiago de Cuba, once the nation's capital, exudes an authentic charm steeped in history and culture. Embrace the simplicity of life here, where engaging with locals in impromptu soccer matches or salsa parties is commonplace. Indulge in the flavors of home-cooked meals at 'casas particulares,' savoring staples like rice, pork, and plantain chips, served with a generous dose of Cuban hospitality. Amidst the scenic beauty and rich heritage, southern Cuba promises an unforgettable journey off the beaten path.

Embarking on Nature's Trail: Sierra Maestra & Beyond

Transitioning from cultural immersion to nature's embrace, venture into the rugged terrain of the Sierra Maestra. Beyond its breathtaking landscapes and historic significance lies a community-driven initiative in San Pablo de Yao, exemplifying Cuba's resilience and creativity. Delve into the heart of Taino civilization in Baracoa, where hidden caves reveal ancient mysteries waiting to be unearthed. Amidst the verdant rainforests and azure waters, discover a world where time stands still, and every corner holds a story waiting to be told. Explore Cuba's hidden treasures, leaving behind footprints of appreciation for its unparalleled beauty and vibrant culture.

My name is Lukene and I am a full-time traveler from Mexico. My experience as a traveler started from a young age as I moved around a lot with my family. Since then I have devotedly created a lifestyle where I can travel full-time and I have this goal that every year of my life, I have to make it to a new country. I believe traveling is more than ticking off boxes. It should be an adventure to feed your soul, expand your worldview, and challenge you. Adventuring the world comes with a responsibility and that is why I am an advocate for traveling in a sustainable and ethical way. Many of these are so doable on a budget and if you are ready to embark on off-the-beaten path journeys, I am here to gladly help!
