HAVANA - Day 01
Arrival. Welcome to Cuba. Transfer to the hotel and, depending on your flight schedule, free time to relax or explore at your leisure. In the late afternoon, to warmly welcome you, we’ll include a ride in a classic vintage car to the Fortress of San Carlos, passing along the iconic Malecón. There, we’ll attend the traditional Cannon Firing Ceremony (tickets included). Return to the hotel (by coach or private vehicles) and overnight stay.
HAVANA - Day 02
This morning, we’ll include a tour of approximately four hours. We’ll explore Colonial Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as Revolution Square and the University. We’ll also visit the Havana Club Rum Museum. Our experience continues with a short boat ride across the bay to Regla, where we’ll visit the Church of the Virgin of Regla—an important site of devotion where Catholicism and Afro-Cuban religions blend in a powerful expression of syncretism. Will you buy flowers and have your palm read by a daughter of Ochún? Around lunchtime, we’ll head to the Callejón del Chorro area, known for its many “paladares” (privately-owned restaurants), where you’ll have time to stroll and enjoy lunch. The afternoon will be free.
GUAMÁ - Day 03
We’ll depart from Havana and head south, taking in the island’s beautiful tropical landscapes. Our first stop will be Guamá, where we’ll visit the crocodile farm and enjoy a boat ride through this area, which has been declared a National Park. In the Taina village, we’ll learn more about the indigenous population that lived here before the arrival of Europeans. We’ll continue along the road by the Caribbean Sea. Don’t forget your swimsuit! We’ll have time at Punta Perdiz, where lunch will be included, and you can swim, explore the cenotes, or go snorkeling. Afterward, in Girón, we’ll visit the Playa Girón Museum, which offers insight into the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Revolution. Our journey will then take us to Cienfuegos, known as the Pearl of the South. This charming colonial city boasts French neoclassical architecture, and we’ll pass by its historic streets. Dinner will be included.
CIENFUEGOS - Day 04
Just under one hundred kilometers separate us from Trinidad. Upon arrival, we’ll visit the most beautiful and best-preserved colonial city in Cuba, a true open-air museum and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. After our tour, we’ll visit the Yemayá Santería Temple, dedicated to the orisha (deity) of the sea, where offerings of fruit, water, and stones are placed. A local santero will share insights into this fascinating religion and its beliefs. Following the visit, lunch will be included, and we’ll head to our resort hotel in Playa Ancón. You’ll have the afternoon free to enjoy the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea on this stunning beach, or—if you prefer—to explore Trinidad at your own pace. In the evening, we’ll offer a transfer to the cathedral so you can experience the “music square,” filled with small restaurants and the vibrant sounds of Cuban music. Dinner will be included.
TRINIDAD - Day 05
Our day will be filled with beautiful landscapes and unforgettable experiences. We’ll travel by coach to the Valley of the Sugar Mills, where we’ll visit the historic San Isidro de los Destiladeros sugar factory, the best-preserved one in the area. Here, you’ll learn about the history of sugar production and slavery. We’ll then continue to Manaca Iznaga, located in the heart of the sugar-producing region that once brought great prosperity to Trinidad. At this site, we’ll reflect on the history of slavery beside the 144-foot tower once used to oversee the enslaved workers. Afterward, we’ll return to Trinidad by road. Lunch and dinner will be included in the hotel, followed by free time to relax at the hotel.
TRINIDAD - Day 06
