Our travel proposals allow you to discover the Caribbean sites of Cuba's north-central coast, of high natural, cultural, and historical value, on itineraries that reach colonial cities such as Holguin and Gibara, a fishing town with colonial architecture.

Gibara, although a small town in the north of the province of Holguín, is a place that hosts a large number of historical and cultural attractions such as the ancient Spanish forts, strongholds of the defensive belt of this Cuban city.

The Church of San Fulgencio: a majestic temple that stands out among Cuban architecture.

The cultural traditions of Holguín originate from the union of customs of different aboriginal, Hispanic, and African ethnic groups, the latter two components representing the fundamental roots of the local culture. Among the oldest festive traditions, known since the 18th century, are the patronal festivals, the cross altars, and the May Pilgrimage.

The rural Guateques are still celebrated, country festivals where the traditional music is the "son montuno," the oldest peasant music. In Sagua de Tánamo the "tumba francesa" is still danced, a dance of Franco-Haitian origin. Today many of the best cultural traditions have been preserved.

Another point of attraction is Loma de La Cruz (the hill of the cross), the highest and most panoramic point of the city. Its summit is reached by a long staircase of 458 steps, built between 1927 and 1950.

After the tour of the colonial cities, relax on the most famous beaches of this corner of Cuba, Playa Guardalavaca, Playa Pesquero, Playa Esmeralda, and Playa Ramon de Antillas. In addition to guaranteeing relaxation in the sun on white sand and turquoise seabeds, they are also close to spectacular diving sites.

The 4 and 5 star hotels are ideal whether you want to travel as a couple or as a family and by January 2025 new excellent hotel facilities will be inaugurated.

For nature lovers, the sunset on these beaches is a unique experience that contrasts the green of the vegetation with the blue of the sea of this wonderful stretch of coast.
