¡Bienvenidos a Cuba! Your Trip Leader will meet you at Havana’s José Martí International Airport (HAV) at 11:00 am and take you with the included transportation to your hotel in the heart of Havana’s historic center.
Discover Old Havana and ride in classic American cars. As you cruise along the Malecónas, you’ll visit iconic landmarks, including Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza Vieja, Plaza de Armas, and the famous Bodeguita del Medio, where you can enjoy an authentic mojito.
Pose for photos with vintage cars and see the rich history, art, and culture all wrapped up into one enchanting Caribbean vibe.
Today, depart Havana to explore life outside the city. The day begins with relaxation and at the Bay of Pigs, where the soft white sands and crystal-clear waters invite you to swim. Coral reefs and tropical fish create a mesmerizing underwater paradise.
Then, we’ll take a scenic drive to Cienfuegos, the "Pearl of the South." This charming city features elegant French architecture and a beautiful waterfront.
Finally, end your day in Trinidad, one of Latin America's best-preserved colonial towns. As you stroll its cobblestone streets lined with pastel-colored houses, the lively rhythms of traditional Cuban music will bring this historic town to life.
Wake up in Trinidad to the sound of roosters crowing in the distance and the aroma of fresh Cuban coffee as you prepare for a day at sea.
Today, you’ll go on a catamaran adventure across the crystal-clear Caribbean waters to the stunning islets of Cayo Iguana or Cayo Blanco, where you’ll find powdery white sands and turquoise water.
Enjoy the breeze as you relax on deck, swim, or snorkel among the marine life in the pristine coral reefs. Upon reaching the island, savor a freshly prepared seafood lunch with drinks, making for an unforgettable day in paradise.
Dinner will be waiting for you at a cozy open-air restaurant. You can try slow-cooked “ropa vieja,” Cuba’s national dish.
On our drive back to La Havana, we will stop in Santa Clara at the Che Guevara Mausoleum, a tribute to the iconic revolutionary leader. We will also visit Revolution Square, a historic site with reminders of Cuba's fight for independence. Finally, we’ll explore the Armored Train Memorial, which honors a key battle led by Che in 1958.
In the evening, we will visit the Vedado neighborhood of Havana, which is home to lively cafés, jazz clubs, and art galleries. Here, you can participate in a Cuban cigar-rolling experience led by skilled artisans. Afterward, we will enjoy a delicious closing dinner featuring the best flavors of Cuban cuisine.
Wake up early to reflect on your Cuban adventure over a final breakfast and coffee in Havana.
The included private transportation will take you and your group back to the airport for your flight home.
