 On the Caribbean island, I recommend you to go to Cuba. The primary language that is spoken in Cuba is Spanish. The beaches are excellent places to visit like Vadaero beach. The beaches have nice clear water with white sand. The cars in Cuba are really vintage that's something new and nice to look at. Some of their buildings are painted with bright colors. The food is wonderful my friend is Cuban and she makes the best foods. In Cuba, you can go scuba diving and see some amazing waterfalls like leaping Caburni. Another thing you can do is go zip lining if you are not scared of heights. One of the places is called Las Terrazas this is where you can go zip lining. The currency used in Cuba is Cuban pesos. A fun fact is that part of fast and furious was filmed in Cuba to be specific at the capital which is Havana.
