Cuba
If you find yourselves in Baracoa in eastern Cuba it’s worth making a day trip to the fishing village of Boca de Miel. Catch a boat across the river to the village where, for a few pesos, a local guide will take you up to El Balcón, a series of narrow caves that run the length of the cliff face. The journey can be a little hairy, especially when you find yourself 30 metres above the palm trees with only a stalactite for support, but the views across the ocean are breathtaking. Finish your journey by cooling off in a subterranean pool – just remember to take a torch.
