It's a nightclub with a true underground vibe – housed in a natural cave.

Disco Ayala, in Trinidad, Cuba, is a must-visit venue, hosting thousands of partygoers every night – complete with cabaret acts, five dancefloors, and three separate bars.

The club, which can accommodate between 3,000 and 4,000 people, is open seven days a week with parties lasting until 3am.

It's a popular haunt with locals – with holidaymakers finding out about it by word of mouth.

Alain Sojourner, a teacher from Toronto, Canada, said: 'I was only intrigued about it and vowed to check it out when I met two backpackers.
