Cuba

From rum tasting in Cuba to spotting orangutans in Borneo, here’s your guide to where to travel in March.

As a teenager, Faye Wilkinson travelled on several Intrepid family holidays. We spoke to her about her memories of them and the lasting impression they’d had.

From vintage cars to hand-rolled cigars, Cuba is a country with many facets to explore. Unfortunately, it also means it’s often a country that’s often misunderstood.
