Turtles laying eggs in Cuba
Thousands of Turtles laying eggs in Cuba which is a spectacular sight; literally hundreds of turtle’s leave the sea to lay their precious eggs in nests along the coasts of Cuba.

Cycling in Cuba
Peddle power! Did you know that you can bring your bicycle to Cuba on most airlines these days?

Starfish on Cuban Beaches
A regular sight along our beaches, you’ll see starfish on just about every Cuban Beach. These fellas don’t mind being lightly handled but always put them back where they were! They’re slowww at moving around and will generally be feeding where you find them. Try not to make grabbing a bite to eat for them complicated...Starfish are extremely prevalent in Cayo Coco, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Las Brujas and Varadero.

TuKola Cuban Coca Cola
TuKola Cuba’s preeminent CocaCola substitute. Coca Cola, being an American soft drink has a hard time finding its way to Cuba. An American made Original Coca Cola is sometimes available at certain specialist stores but Tu Kola is the Cuban version sold everywhere. A little sweeter than Coke it compares better to the ill-fated “new coke” sold in the 90s in the U.S. If you prefer Cuba libre then you’ll be consuming lots of Tu Kola! Tu Kola is a Ciego Montero branded drink made in Pinar del Rio by the Cuban state company called Los Portales S.A.
Cuban Food Tamales
The Tamal is a Cuban favorite – You’ll see these odd corn leaf wrapped meals for sale all over our country. Inside is a mixture of milled corn, red pepper, garlic (not much) and pork. Some are available with beef but the regular version is with pork rind. Cuban Tamales are quick meals popular with workers at lunch time. Often one or two will accompany a rice dish are even with Frijoles (black beans). They’re sold on street corners for around 0.25 USD cents (5 cuban pesos) each. They’re very filling so don’t buy too many!
