Havana to Varadero: Cuba Tour Package
Description
Day 1: Havana - Cienfuegos
On the first day of the tour, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Havana between 8 and 9 am and set off on the taxi journey to Cienfuegos. Arriving in the historic city, we'll drop you off at the hotel to settle in, relax and get some lunch.
At 6:30 pm, we'll meet back up again and embark on a three-hour guided tour of Cienfuegos beginning in San Fernando Street. After admiring the monuments located in Plaza José Martí, we'll take a bike-taxi to see the La Aduana park and the seafront promenade before ending our tour in Punta Gorda, where we'll enjoy extraordinary views of Cienfuegos and its bay.
We'll then head to a local restaurant to get a taste for Cuban cuisine, indulging in a delicious dinner together. After eating, we'll return to the hotel to rest.
Day 2: Cienfuegos - Trinidad
After breakfast in Cienfuegos, we'll leave the city behind and set off at 9 am in the direction of Trinidad, arriving after an hour and a half's drive.
Once you're settled into the hotel, you'll have the rest of the day free to explore this picturesque town. Visit the neo-baroque Plaza Mayor, admire historic landmarks such as the Church of the Holy Trinity or simply get lost in its cobbled streets - you'll be enchanted by the colourful buildings!
Day 3: Trinidad
We'll begin day three with a tasty breakfast before setting off on a complete three-hour guided tour of Trinidad at 10 am. Our tour will take us to discover all the hidden corners and most important places of interest of the town's historic centre, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
During our tour, we'll travel through time learning all about the history of Trinidad as we admire Plaza Mayor, the Casa de la Trova, the Romantic Museum and much more! We'll also reflect on one of the dark sides of Cuba's past visiting the areas where enslaved people lived and worked.
You'll then have the rest of the day free to continue exploring Trinidad at your leisure.
Day 4: Trinidad - Santa Clara
Between 8 and 9 am, after having a delicious breakfast, we'll depart from Trinidad and head for Santa Clara. Arriving in the so-called "city of the revolution", you'll be left to settle in and relax at the hotel.
Then, at 3 pm, we'll pick you up for a guided tour of Santa Clara's key monuments and landmarks. Throughout our tour, you'll discover the details of the Cuban Revolution and why the city was so important in the final victory. We'll visit the Mausoleum of Che Guevara, where he is buried along with 29 other revolutionary soldiers. We'll also get to see the majestic Cathedral of Santa Clara de Asís, La Caridad Theatre and Leoncio Vidal Park.
At the end of our four-hour tour, you'll have free time to get your own dinner and enjoy the magic of Santa Clara at nightfall!
Day 5: Santa Clara - Varadero
On day five, we'll get up early to enjoy the last breakfast of our trip. We'll then say goodbye to Santa Clara and set off for Varadero, where you'll be dropped off at your hotel for around midday.
