Cuba, a country full of natural landscapes

Cuba is a country full of natural landscapes that are able to dazzle us as well as a rich culture and several cultural traditions. Each year thousands of tourists visit this wonderful land and fall in love with its beauty. There are many types of tourism we can perform around Cuba, but the kind of tourism that is gaining more popularity is “sports tourism”. Cuba has all the necessary facilities to perform an incredible amount of sports: from water sports to extreme sports.

Sports competition in Cuba

Today, Sports in Cuba are on the right track; Cuba has managed to earn important medals in the most significant sports competition in the world, including the last Olympics. Cuba continues through the path of success thanks to the state budget intended to create new sports facilities and to prepare all its athletes. The city of Havana has some of the most modern training centers throughout Latin America, and it also attracts many visitors and coaches from around the world.

Sports where Cuban athletes have gained a great recognition are: box, baseball, judo, wrestling, athletics, volleyball, diving, canoeing, chess, cycling, weightlifting and taekwondo. But there are other sports that are also practiced among Cubans and at the same time, attract a lot of foreign visitors.

Ski Resorts in Cuba

Skiing is a little known sport in Cuba but it has slowly been able to win support among its population. Thanks to this growing phenomenon, more ski resorts are being opened in many cities across the country. It is true that because of its geography, Cuba is not the best place for Skiing, but given the number of tourists that are attracted to these recreation centers, Cuba is promoting their implementation through the creation of artificial climatic conditions.

Next to a Ski Resort it is easy to find a ski school that offers all the extra services needed by visitors. Ski schools have all the equipment needed to get into the exciting world of skiing; they are also capable of showing the secrets that surround this sport. Ski lessons are necessary to ensure proper skiing as well as the safety of the people.

Water Sports

But if there is a kind of sport that is very popular in Cuban beaches, it’s water sports. Sailing has a lot of followers in Cuba; this excitement has provoked a large economic movement in Cuban Marinas and the purchase and rental of boats and different vessels has increased during the past few years.

Scuba diving is also important among water sports. Many people choose to move away from the daily routine to enjoy a submarine ride, and for this, there is nothing better than attending Diving Schools. These institutions provide all facilities to enjoy an unforgettable journey and we can forget all about the preparations and simply enjoy the ride.
