Foodie Delights


Street food vendors are ubiquitous all over the globe -- you can eat just about any meal from a cart, anywhere you go! In Cuba, you’ll be delighted with the ever-popular little coconut pastries, offered from local's food carts, for just a few moneda nacional (usually under 25 cents.) 


Called pie de coco, these super sugary treats are perfect for a light breakfast on the go, or a mid-afternoon snack to pair with your cafecito. They can be found pretty much anywhere on the island, so you can always count on these treats as your go-to snack when traveling throughout the Pearl of the Antilles.

Over the past year, travelers have been heading down to Cuba in steadily increasing numbers -- with no slow-down in sight. In fact, tourists flocked to this gorgeous Caribbean island in record numbers: Cuba’s tourism board reports that the island saw 4 million visitors in 2016!

And why not? With untouched beaches, authentic cuisine, a lively music and dance culture, friendly locals...there are endless reasons why traveling to Cuba should be on everyone’s list for where to go next.
