Itinerary

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 which features a large bronze statue of El Che out front and a museum full of memorabilia detailing his life and death. Enjoy the calm of the city's low hills, which generally escape the tourist crowds.

Days 3-5 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. 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. Celebrate the end of the adventure over icy rum and minty mojitos.
