Combining evocative prose and invaluable information, this comprehensive guidebook introduces you to this fascinating and paradoxical country, its rich culture and bounty of sights. Author Christopher Baker, a foremost expert on Cuba, begins the tour in the capital city, Havana.

Among the special features are mapped walking tours of Santiago de Cuba and the heart of Old Havana; a mapped driving tour along the breathtaking north coast, 3D illustrations of colonial architecture and coral reefs; and detailed sidebars that explore such historical, natural, and cultural interests as tobacco growing and cigarmaking, harst geography and mangrove swamps, and Che Guevara and Jose Marti.
