Havana

Havana was founded in 1519 by the Spanish. Old Havana has maintained a remarkable unity of character through its adherence to its original urban layout. Urban plazas surrounded by many buildings of outstanding architectural merit and narrow streets lined with more popular or traditional styles permeate the historic centre of the city.

Vinales

The Viñales valley is encircled by mountains and its landscape is interspersed with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional techniques are still in use for agricultural production, particularly of tobacco. We will explore the authentic cuban farms in the region of Vinales and discover the life of country people in the area.

Trinidad

Trinidad is one of the most beautiful and most authentic colonial cities in Cuba. Walking through its streets you will feel the authentic Cuban spirit. You will go back in time, when the streets were not so crowded with cars and life was much quieter. Let the charm of this town made city run through your body.
