Since its foundation in 1519, Havana has lived a love story with the sea. From a classic American car, you will take a panoramic tour in search of the perfect views where the city and the sea merge: the Morro fortress, the Malecón in Havana and the viewpoint of the “Plaza de la Revolución”. Continue at a leisurely pace through the parks and mansions of Vedado neighborhood, down to the authentic municipality of Centro Habana. Once there, relish in a unique gastronomic experience at La Guarida, one of the most famous restaurants in Cuba and footage setting of the Oscar-nominated film "Strawberry and Chocolate". Well into the afternoon, head for the historic centre of the city. A stroll through the bustling Calle Obispo, crossing the famous squares of “Plaza de Armas” as well as “Plaza de la Catedral” just to perfectly round up the day with a delicious cocktail at “Plaza Vieja” is a total must. To conclude the afternoon, you will return to the accommodation in a fun Cocotaxi (the Tuk Tuk from Havana). (B/L)

Each viewpoint has its charm. Our excursion today departs from Havana to the town of Viñales, where you will find some of the best-known views of Cuba: The Viñales Valley with its unmistakable Mogotes. Rest your eyes before this wonder of nature and observe its fertile lands where tobacco is also cultivated. Learn the basic principles of harvesting tobacco and the art of twisting a cigar from a local farmer. From the top of a hill, overlooking the characteristic tranquility of the “Valle del Silencio” (Valley of silence), enjoy a lunch made with organic products grown by a nature-loving family. Before returning to the capital, appreciate an exquisite Piña Colada while taking in one of the largest open-air murals in the world: The Mural of Prehistory. This painting reflects the evolution of the species in Cuba before the arrival of man. (B/L)

After breakfast, you will take the national highway towards the beautiful marine city of Cienfuegos. This port city, founded by a group of French and Spanish settlers at the beginning of the 19th century, has one of the most important bays in the country, and among its many attributes, striking neoclassical architecture. After lunch at a local paladar, you will visit the Palacio de Valle, an emblematic mansion located in the Punta Gorda district that recalls Hispanic Moorish architecture with Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Mudejar influences. We then leave for the next city on our route founded by the Spanish Crown in Cuba in 1514 under the name “Villa de la Santísima Trinidad”; the third town founded in Cuba. Today Trinidad is one of the best-preserved colonial cities not only in Cuba, but also in America. In the afternoon we will savor a refreshing cocktail in a local downtown bar. (B/L)

Accommodation with breakfast included:
Hotel Mystique Trinidad in a standard room or similar, Trinidad

Walking the streets of Trinidad is not an easy task due to the uneven cobbled streets that are more than 2 centuries old. However, the historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is quite a spectacle for its stately mansions that preserve the splendor of an era where slavery turned sugar into a coveted commodity. With the sugar mills that grew in the valley, wealth appeared and Trinidad became one of the main cities of Cuba. Our tour also shows the art that flourished in the villa with a visit to the gallery of a famous local artist and a potter's home (Casa del Alfarero). In the afternoon you will travel to the nearby coast to bathe in the Caribbean waters and wait for sunset. (B)
