Make Enquiry

Get inside the real Cuba on this Cuban adventure exploring the white sand beaches, spectacular scenery and rhythmic beat of Cuba. From the controversial history and colourful atmosphere of Havana to the musical heart of colonial Trinidad, Cuba is a nation like no other and is sure to amaze you with its many distinct characteristics.

Day 1 Havana
Get acquainted with Havana on a walking tour, admiring its eclectic mix of grand colonial architecture, gritty streetscapes and vivacious energy. Catch a Caribbean sunset and soak up the Cuban vibe at the Malecon, the city's 8 km long seawall, where grand old colonial buildings stand nibbled by the salty ocean spray.

Day 2 Santa Clara
Trace the life and times of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara at Santa Clara's mausoleum. Enjoy the calm of the city's low hills, which generally escape the tourist crowds.

Days 3-5 Trinidad
Get ready to be wowed by Trinidad. Stunningly wedged between the Sierra del Escambray and the Caribbean, Trinidad's cobblestone streets, beautifully restored houses and intricately tiled courtyards make it a highlight of any trip. Call into a local farm to enjoy lunch with the locals en route to Trinidad. Discover the secrets to making Cuba's prized cigars, stop by a coffee plantation to sip the country’s best brew, and then learn some salsa steps before taking in an Afro-Cuban dance show.

Days 6-7 Havana
Stroll through Habana Vieja, the city's vibrant Old Town, perhaps calling into the Museo de la Revolucion to further explore the country's controversial history. Admire the city’s collection of ancient cars that line the picturesque streets and perhaps chat with the locals to try out new Spanish skills. Celebrate the end of the adventure over icy rum and minty mojitos and say salud - cheers - to this magical adventure.

Combine with our Classic Cuba trip for a complete adventure in Cuba.

  • Comfort level: Basic , Mid-Range , Luxury
  • Simple hotels (2 nts), homestays (4 nts)

    Homestays provide a first hand experience of living with a Cuban family. The rooms are all quite comfortable, and the families will try to make you feel at home as much as possible, like part of the family. In general the houses are nicer than the average Cuban dwelling as for a start, the family needs to have enough resources to have a spare room to accommodate a guest. Some of the rooms have air-conditioning and others just a fan. They usually have a private bathroom for the guests and towels and soap are provided. Almost always they have hot water showers, although because of the climate you may find it more refreshing to have a cool one.

    Your hotel in Havana is situated on the border between Old Havana and Central Havana. It has 55 rooms and just a short walk from sites such as the Revolution Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the beautiful tree lined Prado Boulevard, Central Park and the Malecon.
