March is an ideal month to get to know Cuba, since the climate is extremely pleasant and the influx of tourists is not usually as high as it is in the summer seasons. Cuba offers you options for all tastes throughout its geography: colonial cities that have witnessed important historical events, a rich culture that has its roots in Europe, Africa and America, natural wonders of great beauty and paradisiacal beaches. You’ll be surrounded by a dream environment, seasoned by the distinguished hospitality of its people.
Its capital, Havana, preserves the colonial style through the years that will transport you back in time. Taking a photo on the most famous boardwalk in the world, touring Old Havana, visiting emblematic places such as Plaza de la Catedral (Cathedral Square) or Plaza de la Revolución (Revolution Square) are some of the things you can do in Cuba.
Visit cities like Trinidad, which makes anyone fall in love with its heritage architecture; made up of palaces, churches and museums symbolistic of its economic boom in the past; or Cienfuegos, known as the "Pearl of the South", with a colonial French influence and beautiful views over its charming bay.
Eastern Cuba is also a place that you will not regret visiting. Enjoy Baracoa, with beautiful views from tall heights and being surrounded by nature; or Santiago de Cuba, the second most important city in the country with great relevance in Cuban culture, especially in music. In its surroundings you can visit the Cafetales del Sur and see the ruins of hundreds of hectares of coffee plantations that were designed and exploited by French and Haitian immigrants in the 17th century. Some of the haciendas are still preserved as museums, such as La Isabelica, a great architectural and archaeological relic that reflects the technological development of the time and the application of engineering for the exploitation of this resource.
March is an ideal date to enjoy the Cuban natural environments. The Valle de Viñales (Viñales Valley), declared a Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, is one of the most acclaimed places. Dare to explore its fields of exuberant vegetation and learn about the authentic peasant culture in a privileged environment that houses its characteristic mogotes.
Cuba is known for the abundance of paradisiacal dream beaches and its fantastic sea beds with the most striking colors you have ever seen. Thus, it is ideal for resting on the fine sands, taking a dip in its crystal clear waters or doing water sports such as snorkeling, diving or kitesurfing. For this, it is ideal to visit the Jardines del Rey (King’s Gardens), where there are some of the most incredible cayos in Cuba, such as Cayo Santa María, Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo or Cayo Cruz. You will undoubtedly be amazed by the coral reefs accompanied by pure relaxation in the sun.
Varadero, the spa town, with its kilometers of fine sand beaches, crystal clear waters surrounded by pure life and joy will allow you to enjoy some unforgettable moments.
Cayo Largo del Sur, on the other hand, offers one of the most unspoiled natural environments in the Caribbean. Its location, next to the Isla de la Juventud and between numerous virgin cayos, offers the best setting to enjoy nature in its purest form. Walking along its paradisiacal beaches you will be able to see starfish, iguanas, jutías and even dolphins playing a few meters from the sand.
In addition to visiting the most important, iconic and historical sites, you can carry out activities and attend events that will bring you even closer to their culture.
On March 8, as in most of the world, International Women's Day is celebrated. One particular detail is that this country was one of the pioneers in Latin America in celebrating this date, beginning with its celebration in 1931, while the official establishment worldwide by the U.N. was in 1975, 44 years later. For this date there are workshops, meetings, talks, exhibitions and musical concerts designed to continue claiming the place of women, educating about rights and equality and encouraging their participation in this task that is still in the process of construction.
On March 13, although it is not a holiday, if you are in Havana for this date, you will be able to listen to speeches and mentions in the media, since the Anniversary of the attack on the Presidential Palace of Havana is commemorated, in which a group of young students tried to overthrow the president then, the dictator Fulgencio Batista. Although these attempts ended with notorious repressive episodes, they set a precedent for the famous Cuban Revolution of 1959.
This month you can also attend the Festival Internacional Fiesta del Tambor Guillermo Barreto in Memoriam (Guillermo Barreto in Memoriam International Drum Festival Festival), organized by the National Center for Popular Music that takes place in Havana and brings together the main Cuban orchestras, local and international artists and dance companies, in different meetings that take place in the theaters and cultural centers of the city. It is an event that seeks to present and honor Cuban roots and their African, Spanish and Franco-Haitian heritage that left them a legacy as symbolic as the drum. Here, the importance of percussion, its influence and prominence within Caribbean music are promoted, with its characteristic sounds that invite you to follow its rhythm just by listening to them. It lasts about a week and its agenda also includes talks, master classes, workshops and guided visits to various cultural sites, completing the experience of promoting its identity.
The weather in Cuba in March is very pleasant, making it an ideal month to visit Cuba, since the climate is drier and warmer, making it very pleasant to visit the cities and take a dip in its paradisiacal beaches.
Temperatures vary between 23º and 29ºC while the water temperature remains around 24ºC.
Remember to bring light clothing in your suitcase to be able to carry out your excursions in comfort, along with mosquito repellent, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Even in times with more rain, the sun always shines brightly.
