ACTIVITIES
FISHING IN CUBA The Caribbean fishing destination.
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. Over 775 miles long, with a
total area of 42827 square miles. Cuba neughbours Florida (Key West -
Havana 90 miles), Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.The
population numbers in excess of 11 million, of which over 2m. live in
Havana. The climate is sub-tropical, with a mean annual temperature of 77F
(25C). Humidity averages about 77% between November and May, rising up to
82% outside these periods. However, the climate seems to be rather more
stable than in other Caribbean destinations.
DIVING IN
CUBA Last Paradise Keys (Jardines de la Reina) 50 miles south of the
mainland of Cuba and 80 miles north of Cayman Brac is a 150 mile long
mangrove and coral island system forming what some people say is the third
longest barrier reef in the world. In the middle is a 90 mile long and
at times 20 mile wide Natural Park. There is NO COMMERCIAL FISHING in
the Park and the number of inhabitants is ZERO.
Imagine a marine
WILDERNESS with walls covered with brightly hued sponges and corals
plunging well below the limits of safe diving to shallow reefs filled with
both schooling and solitary fish and wrecks (even some Old Spanish
galleons from the l7th century.)
The mangroves provide an
incredible nursery for the smaller fish which in turn provide the reef
with huge schools of baitfish. This has provided a home to a prolific
number of LARGE fish. We think more than anywhere else in the
Caribbean. Shark rodeos & hand feeding 200-400 LB Jewfish are an
everyday experience. Avalon Diving Center is the only operation allowed
by law in this entire area and hosts no more than 300 divers a
year.
Certainly, it is one of the last virgin reefs known to man.
HUNTING The hunting
seasons start in August for dove and white crowned pigeon. Many of our
best hunting areas were sold out last season. If you are serious about
going to Cuba.....better reserve right now! Cuba offers a variety of
hunting possibilities including duck, dove, quail, pheasant and the
white-crowned pigeon. There are also a few places in Cuba that offer
big-game hunting..... Cuba...a new and exciting hunting destination.

CLIMBING Cuba's
Viñales Valley now has over 30 routes and almost 60 pitches of
climbing. The climbing is superlative. Overhanging, pocketed
limestone faces on 1,000-foot freestanding crags called "mogotes" rise
above a valley touted by guidebooks as "a miniature Yosemite, with the
most spectacular scenery in all Cuba",it is so peaceful scenery that
remains timeless...
