Best of Cuba
Small Group Holiday
8
CA$
days from
2020
A country where the clock has stood still for over 60 years, where road-side billboards declare "Socialism or Death" and where commercialism is still refreshingly absent. A land proud of its heritage where people greet you warmly on every corner. A place where old classic cars mingle with horse-drawn carts and where palms and sugar cane sway in a gentle breeze. Throw in a beguiling mix of revolutionary music, salsa and decaying colonial towns and you have a country you do not want to miss. This tour shows you the best of the west - from the capital Havana to the limestone cliffs of Viñales, the pretty towns of Cienfuegos and Trinidad and sites associated with the revolution, such as the Bay of Pigs and Santa Clara.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
While Cuban food can often be rather bland and monotonous, I have found lobster and other seafood to be usually superbly fresh.
