Welcome to Cuba! We are waiting for you and in the meantime we recommend some of the best stops on our tours:

Your adventure begins in Havana with a walk through Old Havana to discover its colorful mix of 1950s American style, colonial architecture and modernity, the Museo de la Revolucion and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts).

At sunset, stroll along the Malecon, the seafront promenade that runs along the coast. With so much to do in this eclectic capital, we recommend arriving a few days early to make the most of this exciting city.

We continue to Vinales, enjoy a walking tour through farms, tobacco plantations and lush cultivated fields for a glimpse of rural life. Learn more about the simple lifestyle here and see firsthand the farmers who grow tobacco for some of the world's most expensive cigars. This small, charming rural village is one of the easiest places to socialize with locals in Cuba, who are very sociable and many of them love nothing more than drinking rum and dancing all night!

Let's move toward a quiet sandy arc on Cuba's southern coast, commonly known as the Bay of Pigs. Discover the sites of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the battle between the United States and Cuban revolutionaries, then stop for a dip in its calm waters, with an exceptional variety of corals and fish, it might be Cuba's best-kept secret. Then continue along the picturesque coast to Cienfuegos, a slice of Paris in the Caribbean. This is the jewel of the south, a seaside city with relaxed streets and dazzling buildings founded in 1819 by pioneering French immigrants. Enjoy a photo stop at Palacio del Valle, which is the architectural pride and joy of Cienfuegos.

Next destination Trinidad. Maybe start the day with some Cuban coffee, served black, strong and super sweet, Trinidad de Cuba is a beautifully preserved colonial town located on the picturesque Caribbean coast. There is no doubt that it is one of Cuba's most charming destinations, a great place to stroll, with almost every scene offering a photo opportunity. The old-fashioned atmosphere and friendly people of Trinidad make it an exceptional destination for many visitors to Cuba, nearby is the Valle de los Ingenios, where sugar plantations stretch as far as the eye can see. Why not take a dip at nearby Playa Ancon and relax on the long stretches of white sand or you can go hiking in the Sierra del Escambray.

On the way back you can decide whether to head toward Havana stopping in Santa Clara to visit the Che Guevara mausoleum and memorial, where you can have a rare insight into the legacy of the revolutionary leader. Che's remains were brought here after being found in a remote corner of Bolivia in 1997, where he was assassinated by the CIA-backed Bolivian army. Or continue to the wonderful transparent sea of Varadero or Cayo Santa María.
