Discover Cuba & Mexico: Unforgettable vacation in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is one of the destinations where dream beaches, an impressive culture and warm hospitality await vacationers. Both Mexico and Cuba attract many tourists from all over the world, who spend unforgettable days on the beach, visiting historical sites and many other vacation activities. Our article provides tips on traveling to Cuba or Mexico and how to discover both destinations during just one vacation.

Cuba and Mexico: Get to know both destinations on a combined trip

While Cuba is known for cigars, vintage cars and the hospitable mentality of the locals, Mexico is known as the land of the Maya and rich cultural treasures. However, both destinations have in common that they offer vacationers beautiful beaches, modern hotels and summer temperatures. If you want to discover both Latin American countries during one vacation, you can choose a combined trip to Cuba and Mexico. Such combination tours can also be booked as an eventful round trip. You don't spend your vacation in a fixed hotel, but travel to a new, exciting place in Cuba or Mexico every vacation day.

There you can immerse yourself in the culture and traditions of the respective country. At the individual destinations of such a round trip, exciting sights and excursion destinations are waiting to be explored by the vacationers. If a round trip through Cuba and Mexico is too strenuous for you, you can split your vacation time and first spend a few days in a permanent hotel in Mexico and then spend more vacation days in a resort in Cuba.

Cuba as a destination

The capital of Cuba is Havana with a picturesque old town, numerous cafes and restaurants, small stores and historical buildings in colonial style. A ride in a vintage car is also a must during a stay in Havana. With the impressive Capitol, the Museum of the Revolution and the Malecon coastal promenade, you will discover the most important sights of Havana. In addition to the capital, there are other highlights awaiting travelers to Cuba.

For example, the city of Trinidad with its impressive ensemble of magnificent colonial buildings. During a visit to the Museo Nacional de la Lucha it is worth climbing the tower of the museum. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view over the city area. If, on the other hand, you want to get to know Cuba's nature, a trip to the national park in the Vinales Valley is a good idea.

Destination Mexico: The Highlights

In Mexico, especially the coastal regions and ancient Mayan sites are among top tips for vacationers. Cancún combines precisely these two highlights of Mexico and is therefore one of the top destinations in the country. Chichen Itza in Yucatan is also a historic Mayan site and allows visitors to dive deep into the mystical culture of the Maya. For a classic beach vacation, however, resorts such as Cozumel, Acapulco and Isla Mujeres are the perfect choice.
