Your Destination —
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 and the colonial buildings of 'Old Havana' have earned the city a UNESCO World Heritage Site 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. With a wealth of exciting attractions, there is so much to do and see.
You will be treated to a guided city tour of modern & colonial Havana on your second day (lunch, 1hr via vintage car & 3hrs walking included.)
Expect a slow, relaxed and wonderfully traditional settlement in this authentic location. The tiny agricultural town occupies one of Cuba's most beautiful natural corners. Vinales allows you experience and enjoy a slice of the real, rural Cuba.
A masterpiece of nature, Varadero seduces visitors with the transparency and tranquillity of its warm waters, and wide stretches of fine, clean, pure sand. It is 140 km to the east of Havana, located on the Hicacos peninsula, a strip of land surrounded by the sea, 22 km long and on average 700 m wide.
Also known as Playa Azul, because the waters reflect all shades of blue, the sea, with up to 40% transparency between 25 and 30m in depth, offers 32 dive sites. At its most eastern point is the Varahicacos Ecological Reserve, a beautiful, fascinating area with a wide variety of flora and fauna.
