This revised guide to Cuba offers ideas on how to soak up the island ambience from the romanticism of decadent Havana to the chilled out beaches on the north coast. Features include cultural background information detailing Cuba's infamous social history, with facts on the revolutionary Che Guevara. It covers the island's natural wonders - tropical rainforests, biosphere reserves and national parks - and how not to confuse your conga with your rumba - the low down on dancing till dawn. How to live with the locals, with details on staying in private homes is also featured along with the hottest form of transport - cycling.
