Selbstfahrer-Rundreise "A lo Cubano" (Havanna/Varadero)

About the destination: Varadero is a resort town located in the province of Matanzas, Cuba, and is one of the largest resort areas in the Caribbean. Primarily, Varadero is a tourist resort town, featuring over 20 km of pristine white sandy beaches. Tourism began to flourish in the early 1930s when Irénée du Pont Nemours, a wealthy American, built his estate on the peninsula. Besides its most prized asset, the beach, Varadero also offers natural attractions such as caves and a series of untouched cays that are easily accessible. There are also cultural, historical, and environmental attractions nearby, including the cities of Matanzas and Cárdenas, the Zapata Peninsula, and the resort of San Miguel de los Baños. Varadero, a duty-free port, also offers facilities for scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, yachting, and other water sports.
