Cuba Island
This alligator-shaped island is by far the largest and most populated of Caribbean countries. Once the No 1 travel destination in the area and known as the Pearl of the Antilles, Cuba became a Red Pearl after a revolution placed communist Fidel Castro in charge. Known for the finest rum and cigars, the Peoples Republic of Cuba has been off-limits to most Americans for the past 35 years. Old Havana is slowly being restored as an open-air museum. Art and culture thrives.
