Cuba Varadero is washed. What is the island of Cayo Coco washed by? what is the ocean like in cube

The most famous Cuban resort in the world. Stunning wide snow-white beach more than 20 km long, amazingly azure ocean. It is not surprising that thousands of people choose to holiday on the beaches of Varadero.

A wide selection of hotels from 2* to luxurious 5* allows people with different incomes to relax at the resort.

Varadero has a fairly developed tourist infrastructure.

In the town of Varadero, you can relax not only in a hotel, but also rent accommodation from local residents, from simple rooms to separate houses right on the shore.

- Cuba's most famous resort in the world. Stunning wide snow-white beach more than 20 km long, amazingly azure ocean. It is not surprising that thousands of people choose to holiday on the beaches of Varadero.

Varadero is a peninsula washed by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and a bay on the other. Coral reefs stretching along the coast of Varadero reliably protect its beaches from strong storms and sharks.

A small town at the beginning of the peninsula where they live local residents occupies 1/3 of the peninsula's territory, and the rest of the territory is occupied by hotels stretching along the beaches. A wide selection of hotels from 2* to luxurious 5* allows people with different incomes to relax at the resort.

Until recently, Cubans who did not live or work on the peninsula were prohibited from entering Varadero, but now Cuba’s policy on this issue has changed greatly and local residents are allowed to relax in hotels. Therefore, do not be surprised if you come to rest in inexpensive hotel that up to 50% of vacationers at the hotel will be Cubans who bought a voucher or were given this voucher at work (as we used to give vouchers to sanatoriums).

What can such a neighborhood give? You should be prepared for the fact that the mentality of the Cubans is not similar to ours - they are used to speaking loudly, actively gesticulating and listening to loud music. They came to relax at the resort and this is a holiday for them (as indeed for all tourists), and they celebrate joyfully! Therefore, for those who want relaxing holiday and goes to take a break from the hustle and bustle big city, we advise you to either choose a more expensive hotel or go on vacation to the islands, where there are not very many local residents yet.

Varadero has a fairly developed tourist infrastructure- in the town large number cafes and restaurants, there are nightclubs and discos, there is a pier from which tourists go on boat trips and diving every day, there are dive centers and a dolphinarium, as well as gorgeous golf courses. 35 km from Varadero in the city of Matanzas under open air The Tropicana cabaret is located where colorful shows are held daily for tourists from all over the world.

In the town of Varadero, you can relax not only in a hotel, but also rent accommodation from local residents, from simple rooms to separate houses right on the shore. I must admit that there are very few such individual houses for rent, especially right on the beach - you can count them on one hand, so such houses must be booked in advance. And in the high season in Varadero it is impossible to find even a room to relax without prior reservation, so we must warn those who hope to come and find accommodation in Varadero on the spot (especially in the high season) that you are unlikely to succeed or what will remain It will obviously not be of the quality you wanted.

There are no private villas (in our understanding, with a swimming pool and a closed area) on Varadero; there are several state villas owned by the protocol service, but their rental is quite expensive. Our website contains a number of rental offers in Varadero, but it should be noted that there are other offers that are not posted on our website, but which we can offer for rent to our clients - therefore, call, contact us and we will help you find a house to suit your request .

There are no such buses from Havana airport, so you can only get to Varadero by taxi, the cost of which starts from 120 CUC and above, depending on the car.

From Varadero Airport to Varadero (about 30 km) you can also get by bus for 6 CUC (on the same schedule 3-4 trips per day) or by taxi.

Caribbean Sea, Atlantic Ocean and three amazing countries Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic.

Introduction.

It so happened, to my happiness, that the last three times, New Year I started in the Caribbean.

I celebrated 2013 on the “Island of Freedom” - Cuba! Honestly, the dream of visiting this country has been obsessive since my school days. Admired by the spirit of revolutionism and freedom, I was sure that my soul was from there.))

I was lucky enough to meet 2014 in Dominican Republic , which, like Cuba, is located off the coast of the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. One of the reasons for visiting this country was a great desire to show the beauty of the ocean to my husband, who had never been abroad.

And finally, January 2015 will forever be remembered for my stay in Mexico, the beauty and freedom of spirit of which cannot be compared with the previous countries I visited.

Dear readers! This post and the following ones are the first in my practice; in them I want to highlight the topic of tourism from a subjective point of view. I will inform you about prices and excursions, about places that in my opinion are worth visiting. Photos and sometimes videos are included. Thank you.

Part 1. Cuba.

Cuba is located at the junction of North, Central and South America, on the island of Cuba (the largest in the West Indies), the island of Juventud, as well as on the adjacent about 1,600 small islands and coral reefs belonging to the group of the Greater Antilles. The territory of Cuba is 110,860 km². The island, which stretches 1,250 km from west to east, is often compared to a lizard with its head facing the Atlantic and its tail at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico. In the south, Cuba is washed by the Caribbean Sea, in the northwest by the Gulf of Mexico, and in the northeast by the Atlantic Ocean.

At first there were thoughts: a savage or a tour. voucher. Flying as a savage to that country turned out to be very expensive, for example, economy class round-trip tickets cost from 75-100 thousand rubles per person! These are the prices of two regular flights of Aroflot and AirFrance airlines with a flight duration of 13 hours. If you also take into account accommodation in a bed and breakfast hotel, then for 7 nights it comes out to about 35 thousand rubles for two. the most budget)

It turned out that in this direction of the countries, it is more profitable to relax through a tour company.

For example, we took a trip for two, new hotel 5* in the resort area of Varadero on the first line from the sea, all-inclusive meals, 7 nights, standard room, direct flight from Moscow - Havana "round trip", transfer, for only 135 thousand rubles. (it turns out twice as profitable). By the way, the tour company was Tez tour.

And so, we flew from Yakt to Moscow on December 29, 2012, and our flight from Moscow to Havana was scheduled for the 31st. Advice: it is better to fly from Yakutsk in winter in advance, at least one day before departure from Moscow abroad, since weather conditions (fog, snow, etc.) can delay flights from our port for half a day, or even a day, God forbid catch your flight, because the ticket and the cost of the trip are non-refundable.

On December 31, 2012 at 12:50 pm we flew from Sheremetyevo by Aeroflot to Havana (the capital of Cuba).

Sheremetyevo is my favorite airport, always on time, always clean, cafe and duty free are super!))

Anticipating hot weather upon arrival))

Best airline Russia! Flying 13.5 hours may seem painful for some, but Aeroflot operates such flights at the most big planes, double-decker airbuses for transcontinental flights. and this - the distance between the seats is spacious, the film library is huge and good quality in each personal monitor, food is 4 times and very tasty, drinks in any quantity throughout the flight.

The flight was comfortable and surprisingly fast!) A pleasant bonus was that the captain and conductors of the plane wished everyone a Happy New Year, Moscow time, served champagne and played the Russian anthem, everyone got up from their seats and congratulated each other)) this was my first New Year in air, somewhere above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.)))

We arrived at Havana airport at about 6 o'clock in the evening of the same day, that is, on the 31st even before the onset of the New Year in Cuba. The difference in time zones with Yakutsk is 15 hours, with Moscow - 9 hours.

It’s another hour and a half drive to Varadero; we arrived at the hotel by 9 o’clock. Resort town Varadero is located in the southwestern part of the island and all hotels are located along the ocean.

The air from the first breath from the plane, very humid and hot, as if you couldn’t breathe deeply, your hair instantly fluffed up, your clothes stuck to your body. That's the beauty of it.))

We successfully checked into the hotel, had dinner at the restaurant (a New Year's dinner was organized), tired and happy, we met the New Year with the hotel guests, mainly from Canada and America, there were no Russians in our hotel at all, which could not but rejoice)) and immediately went to bed already at 12:30 at night..

Standard room for two.

All-inclusive food, very fraught with figure))

The Christmas tree and around +30 are a strange phenomenon.))

Atlantic Ocean in the morning.

There are so many animals, both on the street and in the hotel. Harmless)

Atlantic Ocean during the day.

All rooms are located in blocks of 8 rooms.

Internet in Cuba is a luxury. Local residents neither have internet nor computers. Therefore, Wi-Fi in hotels is only available in the lobby and costs $10 per half hour.

The hotel area is huge, you can’t do without a map. theater, 4 a la carte restaurants, 2 buffets, disco club, gym, tennis, and a bunch of various entertainments))

Now about excursions, representatives of various tour operators around Cuba are always sitting in the hotel lobby, offering trips to the islands of the Caribbean, fishing, diving, snorkeling, to the capital of Cuba, Havana, to tobacco factories, to rum factories, to other cities of the country, etc. Prices are different for everyone, you can buy from local guides at a cheap price, but there is no insurance and the transport is without air conditioning, the guide is Spanish-speaking. In America, travel agencies offer at an average price, with comfort and only an English-speaking guide, respectively. and representatives of our tour company Tez Tour, with all the amenities and a Russian guide, the prices are very expensive. Let's say: a trip to the Caribbean island of Cayo Largo costs $120 per person. Full day trip to Havana with a trip to the Capitol and the rum and tobacco factory $85. Snorkeling and Diving from $50. Let me note that, given the dollar exchange rate at that time, it seemed to me

expensive, and now twice as expensive in terms of rubles ((.but it’s worth it!))

Be sure to rent small jeeps; licenses are not needed for Russians) we drove them to an old farm from 1820.

Che Guevara, revolutionary hero, his portrait is recognizable all over the world.

Fidel Castro, the most beloved president of Cuba, in the hearts of every citizen, is now very old and sick. Fidel Castro entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most fiery speaker and spoke to an audience for 7 hours. and also 638 different attempts were made on him, but all were unsuccessful.

The Capitol is the center of the city; it is customary for locals to indicate all addresses of the city in relation to the Capitol. Let's say they say, "Let's meet on second street north of the Capitol."

There are no new cars here. There are Cadillacs, Volgas, Ladas all around. Having a Lada in the family is very prestigious)) seriously.

Bar La Floridita is famous for the fact that Ernest Hemingway himself, who lived for 9 years in Havana and wrote “The Old Man and the Sea,” often drank a glass of daiquiri here.

Remember how in the song “Baby”? “Warm, warm sea. Hot sun. Blue-blue waves. And a deserted beach? Perhaps a more succinct description of Varadero - the most popular resort You can't even find cubes. With just one “but”, this is not the sea, but the Atlantic Ocean.

The most famous beach area Liberty Islands is located on the Hicacos Peninsula. The resort is located just 140 kilometers northeast of the capital of Cuba, so the road here from Havana will take about two and a half hours, but in Varadero there is also own airport Juan Gualberto Gómez is the second most important after the Havana. What is typical is that not only tourists, but also local residents love to relax here. For example, during our get-togethers, the waitress, having learned that we were going to Varadero the next day, clasped her hands in delight and said that she tries to spend at least a couple of weeks a year on the coast of Icacos.

By the way, unlike other Caribbean resorts, Varadero is, one might say, almost a budget place. The fact is that many hotels here operate according to a system known to all of us all inclusive, that is, you pay once and you don’t spend the money on anything else. The only thing you will definitely have to spend money on are excursions and the ability to use the Internet. He is still a rarity, if not a gem, in Cuba. An hour spent in the arms of the World Wide Web costs about one cookie, which is equal to approximately one euro, but it is not necessary to use the entire supply at once; you can spend valuable megabytes in portions.

However, Varadero is a place for complete relaxation, so it’s good that there is a problem with the Internet here. In the end, you come to the Caribbean to absorb the beauty and energy of nature, and not to poison your consciousness with statuses from social networks. By the way, those who are going to Liberty Island, keep in mind that Facebook really doesn’t like this geolocation, and you can easily be blocked.

So, most likely, you will use your beloved iPhone only for photos; by the way, you may have an irresistible desire to capture all the “charms of this south” on the way to the resort from Havana. Drivers delivering tourists from the capital to the coast invariably stop at panoramic platforms that offer exceptional views of tropical forests with breadfruit trees, over which black vultures soar melancholy. The spectacle, I must say, is in the style of some Hollywood film about the conquest of a distant planet by colonists from Earth.

In the photo: tropical forest on the coast of Cuba

At panoramic sites, there are most often bars where they serve pina colada right in pineapples, so a tourist relaxed from the heat may be tempted to hang out here for an hour or two in order to admire the greenery of the tropical forests and wait for hummingbirds to fly in - some tourists are lucky and they manage to see bright flocks of fast, butterfly-like birds.

In the photo: breadfruit in the tropical forest of Cuba

However, canyons with tropical forests are, as they say, just a prelude for the eyes. In Varadero itself, you will find views that are many times more impressive; it is not for nothing that part of the Hicacos Peninsula is set aside as an ecological reserve. Hotels here are built mainly along coastline, sand on local beaches- snow-white, and walking along it at sunset, when the warm waves of the Atlantic gently kiss your feet, is pure, undiluted pleasure. The ocean, by the way, is very warm, I can’t even believe that this is not the Mediterranean Sea somewhere in Cyprus.

The first mention of Varadero dates back to the 16th century, but tourism here began to develop in the 70s of the 19th century, and everything was not easy. At first, this place was considered an elite resort. The first hotel on Varadero was built in 1910, and in the 30s of the 20th century, the coast with snow-white sand was chosen by the American millionaire Irene Dupont. He bought up a good half of Icacos, built a luxurious three-story mansion, Xanadu, on a low rocky cliff above the ocean, and began selling plots on the shore to wealthy gentlemen from the United States. Thus, the richest and often dishonest Americans settled on the coast of Varadero, including the well-known gangster of Italian origin Al Capone.

After the revolution of 1959, the mansions of the rich were confiscated; today, some of them are museums and golf clubs. But the vast majority of modern hotels appeared on Varadero only in the 90s. If we talk about the contingent of tourists, then in addition to Russians, Europeans (mainly Italians and French) and Canadians come here in search of the cleanest and warmest, like fresh milk, ocean and hot sun.

WHERE TO LIVE IN VARADERO?

We stayed at the Grand Memories Varadero hotel, which is in Russia. The hotel is located in the very center of the coastline, operates on an all inclusive system and is divided into two zones: one for families, and the second Sanctuary - only for adults without children.

The hotel's beach is ideal in every way: snow-white sand and azure, gentle, silky waves of the Atlantic. What’s important is that the beach area is impressive, so even when it’s maximally full, there’s no feeling of hustle and bustle, and there’s enough space for everyone both in the water and on land.

Rooms in Grand rooms Memories Varadero is huge, designed in a modern style, and a balcony overlooking the pool or garden is a must-have component of the rooms. There are two swimming pools in the hotel, the largest is in the adult area. However, who needs a swimming pool if there is a marvelous Atlantic Ocean nearby, the views of which, willy-nilly, will remind you of shots from the “Bounty” advertisement familiar to everyone from childhood?

Gourmets will also be interested in Grand Memories Varadero, because there are seven restaurants on site. Each with their own specialization. One serves seafood dishes, the second - with an Asian twist, the third - haute cuisine, the fourth - Italian.

For dinner, a table must be reserved during the day; the main local specialty is huge grilled lobsters, for which you need to go to a seafood restaurant.

But for lunch, I would like to recommend a place on the ocean shore that serves exceptional grilled meat. The restaurant is open during lunch hours according to the system buffet, and quality local food rivaled only by the exceptional view of palm-lined avenues against the piercing blue Cuban sky.

For rum lovers, we inform you that at Grand Memories Varadero, it, as they say, flows like a river. They also serve excellent Spanish wine. The hotel area is huge, there are animators working with children, and on the approach to the beach there is a bar where they serve that same pina colada in pineapple, and, I must say, this is an ideal addition to an evening spent on the beach.

WHAT TO SEE IN VARADERO?

Of course, for the most interesting sights of Cuba you need to leave the resort, for example, it arranges one-day trips for those staying at Grand Memories Varadero, and also takes tourists to Santa Clara, where the Che Guevara memorial is located, or to French Trinidad - the most beautiful colonial city of the Island of Liberty, By the way, the excursion program also includes a visit to Nicho Falls, which is located in a tropical park.

However, this does not mean that there is nothing to see in Varadero itself. Important point number one - Varaicakos Ecological Reserve. Previously, the La Calavera salt mines were located on its territory, but when the deposit was exhausted, a green zone was created here. Although Varaikakos is more like a park, the nature here is absolutely untouched, and the place is ideal for simple trekking, fortunately, the territory of the reserve is small.

The main thing worth going to the Varaikakos Nature Reserve is bird watching, because the local lake alone is home to more than 30 species of birds, accompanied by 24 species of reptiles. Those who prefer archeology and history to study local fauna should visit Ambrosio cave. Its walls are decorated with rock paintings of Cuban Indians; according to researchers, among other things, there is an image of an ancient Indian calendar.

In the park, archaeologists at one time discovered numerous traces of prehistoric settlements, the oldest dating back to 500 BC. And here they found the remains of a giant sloth - these animals became extinct about 10 thousand years ago, it is assumed that ancient people hunted them too actively.

The second interesting local cave is Cueva de Musulmanes, which translated means “cave of Muslims.” What’s curious is that there were never any Muslims in the vicinity of Varadero; that’s just what Cuban smugglers and pirates called themselves in the 19th century, hiding treasures and goods for sale in this cave.

For connoisseurs of American cinema, I strongly recommend visiting the above-mentioned villa Xanadu, which belonged to Irene Dupont, an American millionaire of French origin. The DuPont company made a fortune trading chemicals and gunpowder, but in 1927 Irene decided to retire and bought 180 hectares of land on the Icacos Peninsula. Villa Xanadu, which DuPont built for himself, cost the millionaire a huge $1.3 million at that time. A telephone was immediately installed here, which was considered a real miracle of technology at the beginning of the 20th century, an elevator ran between the floors of the mansion, and in the thirties a huge organ was even installed in the villa.

“This is all very nice, but what does American cinema have to do with it?” - you ask. And everything is very simple. It was Dupont's mansion in Cuba that became the prototype for the Xanadu villa, where Charles Foster Kane, the protagonist of Orson Welles' cult film Citizen Kane, spent his last years and died, which, according to many critics, is the most influential film in the history of world cinema. As you know, Kane’s prototype was media mogul William Randolph Hearst, but the idea of Villa Xanadu is a direct reference to Dupont. Today, a golf club and a bar are open on the territory of the villa, where tourists come not only out of curiosity and for an excellent mojito, but also for the exceptional view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Finally, a few words about another interesting attraction of Varadero, which is located just a stone's throw from Hotel Grand Memories Varadero - 500 year old cactus, which grows near the beach. The cactus, it must be said, bears little resemblance to itself in the usual sense. This is quite a full-fledged tree, three times the size of a human being. Access to the long-lived cactus is free, many tourists even climb it, which, of course, is unsafe, because the cactus may be old, but it is prickly, just like in its youth.

In the photo: that same giant cactus

In short, Varadero is not only beach holiday, even though the waves of the Atlantic Ocean are warm here, like a mother’s embrace, and coastal sand so light that it shimmers like mother-of-pearl. Those for whom contemplation and relaxation on vacation are not enough, as well as those who are restless by nature, will also have something to do at the most famous resort in Cuba.

The Socialist Republic of Cuba is located on several islands in the Caribbean Sea, where more than 11 million Spanish-speaking people live on 111 thousand km 2. The pride of Cuba is tropical seaside resorts, remaining at the peak of popularity despite the country's economic problems.

The islands belonging to Cuba are influenced by the climate of the Caribbean - tropical, trade wind, humid. Average daily temperatures are 25°C, dropping by 5-8 degrees at night.

There are only 2 pores:

If during the dry season a third of the annual precipitation falls from time to time, then in the “wet” season cyclones bring twice as much lashing tropical downpours from the ocean. But the sun periodically manages to break through the heavenly abysses and arrange fun holidays for vacationers with swimming, sports entertainment, sightseeing trips, and picnics.

In June, July, and August, when most Russians go on vacation, up to 170 mm of precipitation falls on the islands of Cuba, which at first glance does not cause tourist enthusiasm. However, hundreds of thousands of people from different corners peace come to Caribbean resorts just during these months.

During the pauses between rains, you can swim to your heart's content in the sea and ocean, get a chocolate tan, travel around the country, try seafood and unprecedented fruits, and while away the evening with a glass of rum. The daytime heat, especially in August, decreases by night to 23-24°C, which allows you to comfortably spend time in entertainment venues.

In September-October it is still hot, but the evenings are cooler (21°C). The rains subside by mid-October.

November-December attract tourists with velvety air and water temperatures of 25°C. After the muggy air has subsided, it is easy to breathe on the coast, followed by a long series of dry, sunny days. Strong winds that whip up high waves are a little annoying, but each hotel has large outdoor swimming pools with cozy terraces.

January is the coldest. The thermometer may show +22°C on the north side in the area of Havana, Varadero. At the southern tip, for example in Trinidad, temperatures remain above 26°, the sea is only a couple of notches cooler.

In February, as in the previous month, it is windy, relatively cool, and not humid. In March, the weather changes to the hot season. The temperature gradually rises to 27°C, and occasionally it rains.

Cuba's Caribbean resorts are best in April:

there are no systematic rains yet;
trade winds blow weaker;
the heat is not oppressive;
sea water warm enough for swimming and sports activities;
The country hosts vibrant and spectacular festivals.

May represents the beginning of the rainy season, but precipitation is only short-term. They usually coincide with an afternoon rest. It's nice to doze off to the sound of raindrops, swinging in a hammock. In the afternoon, the clouds clear and you can again take sea baths at 27-28°C.

Resorts of Cuba on the Caribbean Sea: location and description, pros and cons

Tourism is one of the priorities in the economy of the Republic, so much attention is paid to recreation infrastructure. 3-star bungalows and luxury hotels, white sandy beaches and clear azure water, the beauty of exotic nature, entertainment for every taste create all the conditions for a comfortable vacation.

Specific sights of Cuba are of interest:

features of living under the socialist system;
architectural monuments colonialism;
a huge network of catacombs;
rare, but excellent running cars.

Cuba's resorts on the Caribbean Sea were able to rise to the world level of comfort thanks to relaxations in the country's economic policy.

When socialist principles of public property management finally led Cuba into a dead end of poverty, the government was forced to allow private activity. Initiative, enterprising businessmen created a tropical paradise on the islands.

Cuba's resorts in the Caribbean Sea also occupy small islands, which Cubans call cayo - a sandbank. Cayo Coco (coconut sandbank) became a resort after its construction in the 1980s. XX century dams and roads connecting the main island. Cuba with other land areas.

Instantly grown tourist complexes did not destroy the pristine nature, preserved the atmosphere of remoteness from noise and bustle. Wild secluded beaches with the same clean white sand as near hotels are not uncommon here.
