Cuba Medical Tourism

 

Welcome to Cuba

 

Cuba is internationally renowned for its excellent quality and affordability of the medical and health services. Cuban hospitals and clinics offer top-notch medical care at a fraction of the cost in many countries.

Cuba is a country in northern Central America, located on the largest island of the Antilles, which lies at the confluence of the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. Cuba occupies the entire island and some other neighbouring islands (like Isla de la Juventud, also known as the Isle of Pines).

Cuba's capital, Havana, is impressive. The city features many museums, cathedrals and plazas; the Cuban culture and civilization create an interesting, unique vibe thanks to the Spanish, American, African and Native American mix of influences.

Trinidad is a charming town declared by UNESCO Heritage of Humanity. Varadero, Cuba's iconic resort is a tropical paradise and one of the most popular places in the Caribbean. A veritable Mecca for anyone interested in exotic escapades, Varadero is located in the Hicacos Peninsula, 130 km east of Havana.

The Cuban culture is a complex mixture of different and often contrasting factors and influences. Even if European, African, Amerindian and North American culture meet in Cuba, the country has its own culture and traditions which are easily recognizable anywhere in the world. Cuban music is one of the most significant examples, with a huge influence on styles from other countries, contributing not only to the actual development of jazz and salsa, but also to the Argentinean tango, West African Afrobeat and new flamenco in Spain.

The Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines. In Havana, even a slight Chinese influence is felt. A surprising fact is that Cuban cuisine has almost nothing in common with the Mexican one.
