Cuba is one of the most photogenic countries I have ever seen. It’s full of charm, vibrant colours and unique features. There were so many amazing places to take photos that it needed a dedicated post.

Havana is where most people who visit Cuba will first arrive at. This beautiful city is truly unique, for more details see my post on: Unusual things to do in Havana
