Cuba could become one of the finest outdoor adventure destinations.
Fishing, downright cheap diving and snorkeling and extensive caving have been discovered and already are drawing world travelers, including Americans going through the backdoor.
Cuba has excellent year round weather, and a population with a long history of friendship and solidarity.
Cuba already may be the most fun outdoor adventure experience anywhere.

SCUBA IN CUBA
Last Paradise Keys (Jardines de la Reina)
50 miles south of the mainland of Cuba and 80 miles north of Cayman Brac is a 150 mile long mangrove and coral island system forming what some people say is the third longest barrier reef in the world.
In the middle is a 90 mile long and at times 20 mile wide Natural Park.
There is NO COMMERCIAL FISHING in the Park and the number of inhabitants is ZERO.
Imagine a marine WILDERNESS with walls covered with brightly hued sponges and corals plunging well below the limits of safe diving to shallow reefs filled with both schooling and solitary fish and wrecks (even some Old Spanish galleons from the l7th century.)
The mangroves provide an incredible nursery for the smaller fish which in turn provide the reef with huge schools of baitfish. This has provided a home to a prolific number of LARGE fish.
We think more than anywhere else in the Caribbean. Shark rodeos & hand feeding 200-400 LB Jewfish are an everyday experience.
Avalon Diving Center is the only operation allowed by law in this entire area and hosts no more than 300 divers a year.
Certainly, it is one of the last virgin reefs known to man.

HUNTING
The hunting seasons start in August for dove and white crowned pigeon. Many of our best hunting areas were sold out last season. If you are serious about going to Cuba.....better reserve right now!
Cuba offers a variety of hunting possibilities including duck, dove, quail, pheasant and the white-crowned pigeon. There are also a few places in Cuba that offer big-game hunting. It is a pretty nice opportunity when you can hunt duck, dove and quail all in the same day. No need to bring a gun.....as automatics and pumps in both 12 and 20 guage are available. Cuba...a new and exciting hunting destination.

CLIMBING
Cuba's Viņales Valley now has over 30 routes and almost 60 pitches of climbing.
The climbing is superlative. Overhanging, pocketed limestone faces on 1,000-foot freestanding crags called "mogotes" rise above a valley touted by guidebooks as "a miniature Yosemite, with the most spectacular scenery in all Cuba",it is so peaceful scenery that remains timeless. Here the peasants transport tobacco in ox carts as they have since time immemorial.
Completing the portrait are climbs that ascend through stunning overhangs of stalactites and tufa columns overlooking traditional thatch-roofed Cuban houses and red-soiled tobacco farms.
During this walking tour we hike the Sierra del Escambray at Central Cuba, an ecological paradise, which has maintained several species of endemic vegetation, visit Trinidad, a jewel of colonial art and of Spanish style architecture. We'll finish this expedition in Havana, following in the footsteps of Hemingway.
