6 Day Highlights of Cuba

Arrive in Havana at any time. You’ll be met and transferred to your homestay where you'll live with a local family to really experience Cuban life. On your way, look out for popular colonial architecture and vintage old-style cars. After you arrive and get settled in, you’ll have your welcome meeting. The rest of the day is yours to make.

Today starts with a city tour of Havana where you’ll see highlights like La Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Habana. Next stop: the city of Santa Clara. As you journey eastward, you’ll see thick green forests and lush plains along the way. In the late afternoon, visit the Che Guevara monument and mausoleum before you arrive at your next “casa particular” (Homestay). After you get settled in, enjoy a night out in the town and let the Cuban rhythms and vibes welcome you to Santa Clara. 

Head south today to the picturesque mountain region of Topes de Collantes. There, you’ll visit the Case de Café, a pleasant little coffee shop and museum which is filled with contemporary Cuban artwork. Word has it: some of the freshest and tastiest coffee in Cuba is served here! Immerse yourself in the history of Cuba's coffee industry, observing the tools of the trade from the past. Post-coffee bliss, take a leisurely stroll through the national park, where surprises await around every corner. Waterfalls, secret swimming pools, underground rivers, and caves are hidden gems amid coffee plantations, jungle, and mountains. As the day unfolds, you'll find yourself in the coastal gem of Trinidad by evening. Get ready to unwind and embrace the laid-back vibes of this Cuban treasure. 

In the morning take a short walk and get to know Trinidad better with your guide. After this the afternoon is yours and the possibilities are endless. Swim in calm waters, snorkel with sea life, or bask in the beach vibes. In the evening add some rhythm to your day and go for a salsa dancing lesson. Later, put your new moves to the test on a night out with your group at the historic Casa de La Trova, with live Cuban music and the lively atmosphere of Trinidad surrounding you. 

Journey to Cienfuegos, known as Cuba’s “Pearl of the South” and go on a guided walk before exploring at your own pace. Stroll through contrasting architecture and let the turquoise waters along the iconic sea wall captivate you. After, head back to Havana stopping off at Playa Girón on your way back. You’ll visit the Bay of Pigs Museum where you can learn about the famous CIA-backed attempted invasion of Cuba and the involvement of the US military. When you get back to Havana catch a glimpse of the city with a short bus tour. Spend your final night as you please. Explore art in the alleys of Habana Vieja or unwind at a local rooftop bar, sipping a refreshing mojito as the night settles in. Your Cuban adventure concludes today. Not ready to leave yet?
