With a rich and varied abundance of beauty on the island, Cuba\u2019s unique history, dense biodiversity and strong sense of community has an undeniable pull to travelers wanting to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is important that travel within the country is done sustainably. Practicing sustainable travel is a way to explore responsibly, protecting the country’s people, culture and natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to ensure that an authentic Cuban experience is achieved during your travels, whilst also ensuring your time visiting has a positive impact. Choosing locally owned accommodation, eating in family-run restaurants, respecting natural ecosystems and supporting community-based events, are all ways that your travels can help support the Cuban community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, positive travel to Cuba encourages cultural exchange, protects landscapes and preserves the authenticity of the island for future generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a breakdown of how you can be more sustainable when traveling to the island…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Local<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Cuba is rich in culture and traditions with many people and regions practicing services that have lived on through generations. One way you can support this is by eating in what\u2019s known as \u2018Paladars\u2019. These are small, family-run restaurants operating independently; by dining here, you can get a true and authentic taste of Cuban cuisine, with meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, all while supporting local families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking for a souvenir or some artwork to take with you, choose handmade crafts, paintings, textiles and jewellery from local artists markets where their creators sell directly. This helps to ensure locals are fairly compensated for their craft and helps to sustain traditional skills. Try to avoid products made from materials that threaten the country\u2019s natural ecosystems, such as coral, turtle shell or ivory, as well as products that are factory produced and have little connection to local artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our opinion, a gift or souvenir that comes from the artistic hand of one of the country\u2019s locals (which also helps to support the culture of the region it originates from) is the best way to remember your travels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Cuba has dense, beautiful landscapes and seascapes that are, undeniably, one of the main attractions to visiting the country. There is a vast amount of beauty to behold when travelling the region, but there are ways to ensure your travels remain a low-impact natural exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuba has a rich birdlife, consisting of many endemic species found in regions such as Cienaga de Zapata wetlands<\/a> and the Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve.<\/a> Consider yourself an enthusiast? You can join tours led by local experts to elevate your wildlife<\/a> experience, whilst minimising any disturbance. It\u2019s a fantastic way to experience the wildlife that inhabits these beautiful regions that you are unable to see anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only in the warm skies, but also in the country’s crystal-clear coastlines, is an abundance of wildlife to be explored. The waters surrounding areas such as Guanahacabibes Peninsula<\/a> and Maria la Gorda offer well-preserved coral reefs<\/a> and colourful marine life perfect for diving and snorkelling.<\/a> Choosing local expert divers that have strong conservation in mind is a great way to explore these areas in a sustainable way. Always remember never to touch, feed or collect marine animals or coral, being careful not to disturb the wildlife is key to ensuring their ongoing beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If looking to the skies or diving into the watery depths has already been ticked off of your to-do list, then why not also explore on foot through UNESCO protected sites<\/a> such as Vinales Valley<\/a> and the Zapato swamps, for a chance to experience real cultural immersion. Spend time hiking through the mountains<\/a> and fields for a different view of the countryside; it\u2019s where many historical agricultural practices are still used today, and where locals tend farms and villages with an emphasis on sustainability and a simpler way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n

With all the excitement of exploring a new place bursting with natural beauty, it can be easy to get carried away with your travels. Here\u2019s a quick list of Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts to remember when you set out on your travels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Do<\/strong> always respect wildlife. Observe birds and animals from a distance and try to not disturb them or their natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Do<\/strong> stick to marked trails and hiking paths in order to maintain habitats and natural ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Do<\/strong> use reef-safe sunscreens where possible when exploring Cuba\u2019s waters, and ensure that no litter is left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Don\u2019t <\/strong>remove shells, coral or any wildlife from any regions you visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Don\u2019t<\/strong> feed or touch wildlife, as this can potentially harm wildlife and can disrupt behavior and ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7     Don\u2019t <\/strong>buy souvenirs made from endangered species, corals, shells or other protected natural materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable travel in Cuba offers a way of exploring and immersing yourself in the country’s beauty, whilst preserving the island’s rich cultural heritage, fragile ecosystems and unique history, all while supporting local communities. By choosing locally sourced food and accommodation, respecting cultural traditions, conserving natural spaces and engaging in respectful tourism practices, those traveling to the island can ensure a positive impact is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
