Your Detination —
Havana offers a vibrant mix of cultures, history and experiences. Its cobbled streets are alive with cafes, bars and the rhythmic sounds of the rumba. The city’s architecture is an eclectic mix of Baroque, Neo-Classical and Art Deco styles, with the colonial buildings of ‘Old Havana’ earning the city a UNESCO World Heritage Listing. Culturally, Havana is a melting pot of influences from Europe, Africa and the Americas. Its unique ambience and resilient character have lured writers, artists and even the occasional revolutionary in.
Discover Cienfuegos, a Caribbean city founded by French immigrants in 1819. See the historic centre, declared a World Heritage Site in 2005 (by UNESCO) - a fine example of neoclassical town planning in Cuba during the 19th century.
Experience slow-paced island living here. Trinidad is a well-preserved Spanish colonial settlement, boasting colonial-style mansions bedecked with Italian frescoes and French chandeliers. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the beauty of Cuba's oldest and most enchanting outdoor museum has been luring tourists ever since.
Surrounded by sparkling natural attractions, Trinidad also offers its visitors gorgeous beaches and lush nature.
Set in the centre of Cuba, this city boasts new trends, creativity and an edgy youth. The fiery personality of Santa Clara has been shaped by its prestigious university presence and its subsequent rise in modernity.
Cayo Santa María is the most idyllic of destinations where sun, sand and nature come together. Here you can see the splendid sights with a catamaran trip, explore the huge barrier reef or go snorkelling along the 13kms of beaches.
This archipelago is part of the Buenavista UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. A unique tourist destination thanks to its natural surroundings, you are guaranteed an unforgettable stay.
