Things I found out about Cuba to help you on your way
Obviously I don't quite know where you are going, but here is a very good website:
I've also linked to some information I feel you are slightly lacking...
Destinations
Havana
Santiago de Cuba
Trinidad
Cienfuegos
Varadero
Cayo Coco/ Cayo Guillermo
Other Stuff about Cuba
I thought this bit sounded good:
"More than 20 systems of caves and caverns can be explored throughout the island, some with rivers or underwater caves connecting with the sea, many with ancient indigenous pictographs, and all with their unique living species.
One of the world´s most conservation and ecology-oriented countries,
Cuba offers a dozen national parks, on land and sea, covering tens of thousands of hectares, plus numerous biosphere reserves, natural parks and protected natural landscapes."
Activities
Maps
Restaurants
Cultural Activities
Pictures
Bay of Havana
Bucanero Beach
Blue Chevrolet
Miscellaneous
Articles 6 and 7 are interesting ^
Hope that was in some way helpful, probably not if you already know of the site, but what the hey.
