Day 1: ARRIVAL IN HAVANA

  • Casa Particular, Havana

Welcome to Cuba! A Cubania representative will be waiting for you on arrival at Jose Martí International Airport in Havana. Once you’ve collected your luggage you’ll be transferred to your accommodation with time to relax after your long flight. You can have dinner in town a short walking distance away.

Day 2: GUIDED TOUR OF OLD AND NEW HAVANA

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast, your guide will take you on your city tour of old and new Havana, Cuba’s capital and the largest city in the Caribbean. Setting off in classic 1950s American cars, we’ll visit the well-to-do 1950s Miramar district, home to some of Havana’s most striking 20th century architecture. Keep an eye out for the imposing Russian embassy and the elegant neoclassical homes, many of which are now embassies. We will drive through the beautiful residential district of Vedado where wealthy sugar barons built elegant mansions in the early 20th century and stop in Revolution Square where Fidel made his famous speeches. Driving back along the picturesque coast road (the Malecon), the classic cars will drop us off in the Old Town where we will continue on foot, concentrating on the four original squares around which the city was founded. Old Havana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 and millions of dollars have gone into this area in order to bring it back to its original splendour. It has the finest surviving Spanish colonial architecture in the Americas preserved by a combination of little war damage, post Revolution restoration work and the current restoration project. After lunch we have the option of taking a relaxing drive in one of the horse-drawn carriages or you can enjoy time for shopping before heading back to our accommodation. This evening you can eat dinner at a local restaurant in town.

Day 3: SWIMMING AND ZIP-LINING AT LAS TERRAZAS

  • Casa particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast, we head for Las Terrazas, an eco-community tucked away in the Sierra del Rosario biosphere reserve where large numbers of endemic and migrating birds can be spotted in the woods that have been planted here. After visiting the community we go to the San Juan River, a popular swimming spot with the locals because of its crystal-clear waters. We have lunch in the reserve and then have some time afterwards for the adventurous to have a go at zip-lining. This is an 1500m course with 6 wires that takes you flying through the canopy over the Las Terrazas community and lake. In the afternoon we drive to Viñales and check into our accommodation. You can have dinner at your casa or walk to the main street where there is a selection of restaurants.

Day 4: EXPLORE CAVE SYSTEM AT CUEVA DEL INDIO

  • Casa particular, Viñales
  • Breakfast, Lunch

Viñales is famous for its dramatic scenery that is found in only two other places in the world – Southern China and Thailand – and for its world-famous tobacco plantations. We visit La Cueva del Indio, a cave that is 4 km long with an underground river where we also take a short boat ride, and El Mural de la Prehistoria, Cuba’s largest mural depicting Cuba’s first indigenous inhabitants. We’ll have a relaxed lunch at the restaurant near the mural where they serve delicious roast pork. Along the way to these destinations we’ll be passing farms where malanga, maize, coffee, yucca and of course, the world’s finest tobacco is grown. The evening is free to enjoy at your leisure and you can either have dinner at your casa or head into town.

Day 5: TO HAVANA

  • Casa Particular, Havana
  • Breakfast

This morning, we return to Havana, arriving in time for lunch and a free day in the Caribbean’s largest City.  There’s plenty to do, from exploring Museums and the crafts and souvenirs in the Almacenes de San Jose, or checking out the amazing graffiti in the San Isidro area, to enjoying pizza on the Malecon!

 

Havana is a family friendly city, and kids of all ages are welcomed everywhere.  The day is free to do some last-minute souvenir shopping or exploring the old town and re-visiting some of your favourite spots.
