Day 1: Arrival in Havana

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Dinner

¡Bienvenidos! Arrive at Havana airport and take a shared taxi to your casa particular. Depending on your arrival time today, you should be able to start exploring Havana. We’ll leave one of our city maps in your accommodation so that you can head out as soon as you arrive. Meet the rest of the group for dinner at a local paladar (private restaurant) and get to know your travel companions as your Cuban adventure begins. Your first cocktail is on us!

Day 2: Full day in Havana

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast

After breakfast we set off in classic 1950s American cars on a panoramic tour of the city. Drive along Havana’s famous sea front, pass the impressive mansions built by the sugar barons in the 1920s, stop in Revolution Square where Fidel gave his fiery speeches, and go through the leafy, upmarket Miramar district. Finish the tour in the Old Town where you can explore its narrow cobbled streets and atmospheric squares on foot and at your own pace. Sit in a café with live music and have a Cuban coffee or homemade lemonade whilst watching the world go by. If you love history visit the Museum of the Revolution, or art lovers will enjoy the Cuban collection at the Museo de las Bellas Artes. In the evening, check out one of Havana’s paladar restaurants, then go for cocktails in a local bar.

Day 3: Havana to Viñales

  • Casas particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast, dinner

After breakfast we’ll get the tourist bus service to Viñales, arriving around midday. Check into your casa and get some lunch on Viñales high street. This afternoon is free to explore this beautiful valley famous for its dramatic landscape of ‘mogotes’ which are rocky limestone outcrops that rise up from the valley floor. Traditional methods are still used to farm the fertile red soil: oxen can be seen ploughing the fields and palm fronds are used as thatching for houses and barns. A wide range of activities are on offer in Viñales: zip-lining, horse-riding, cycling and visits to some of the caves that riddle the mountains. If you like walking, take  a guided walk to learn about rural life,  tobacco growing and see how to roll one of Cuba’s famous cigars. You can book these activities directly through your host at your casa, or ask us to organise them if you prefer. This evening we’ll enjoy a sunset dinner at Finca Wilfredo, an organic farm that uses its own produce to cook delicious Creole food.

Day 4: Full day in Viñales

  • Casas particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast

Today we’ll get up before dawn and a local guide will take us on a trek by torchlight up to a mountain community called Los Aquaticos. From a view point we’ll watch the sun rise over the spectacular Sierra de los Organos mountain range and then stop at a farm for some Cuban coffee. After the trek, go back to your casa for breakfast and a rest. You can choose another of the activities on offer in Viñales or continue to explore the valley by yourself.  Some of you may want to book a taxi to take you to Cayo Jutías, a picture perfect white sand beach about an hour away from Viñales. Others may prefer to relax in Viñales Valley and enjoy the gentle pace of life.

Day 5: Viñales to Trinidad

  • Casas Particular, Trinidad
  • Breakfast, dinner

We’ll get up early this morning to catch the tourist bus service to Trinidad, Cuba’s finest colonial town. The journey will take us east of Havana, through Cienfuegos and along the coast road to Trinidad, arriving in the late afternoon. Arriving in Trinidad’s immaculately-preserved colonial centre, it’s hard to imagine that any time has passed since the town was founded at the height of the sugar trade over 500 years ago. We’ll check into our casas and freshen up before dinner. Everyday life in Trinidad is full of music and dancing, and this is a great place to learn how to dance “a lo cubano”. We’ve included an introductory salsa class  with local teachers in a home close to your casa particular. This evening we recommend you meet new friends at Casa de la Musica for a Cuban-style fiesta.

Day 6: Full day in Trinidad

  • Casas Particular, Trinidad
  • Breakfast

This morning we will have a walking tour of Trinidad with a local guide to learn about the town’s history and highlights.   Afterwards we can organise a wide variety of activities for you: hike in the El Cubano National Park or the Escambray mountains, spend the day at the beach, horse ride, or explore Trinidad by yourself. We will all meet up again in the evening to see the Rumba show at El Palenque de los Congos Reales.

Day 7: Back to Havana

  • Casa particular, Havana
  • Breakfast, dinner

This morning we’ll get up early to take the bus back to Havana, arriving at the beginning of the afternoon. Enjoy continuing exploring this vibrant city, perhaps visiting some of the recommended sites on our Cubania map. This evening we’ll have a farewell dinner in a local paladar and probably head out to sample some of Havana’s famous nightlife…your first drink’s on us!

Day 8: Departure

  • Breakfast

And so it’s Adios, or, as we prefer to think of it, hasta luego – see you later! If you have an afternoon flight, spend your final morning doing some last-minute shopping and sightseeing, or simply relaxing in a café enjoying the last of the Caribbean sunshine and streetlife. Your transfer to Jose Marti International airport will be for check-in three hours before your flight.  Have a safe onward journey and we very much hope to see you in Cuba again soon.
