Arrival in Havana
Steps: Baracoa
Once the luggage has been dropped off at the hotel or in your particular casa, head for Le Malecón for a short walk at sunset to soak up the unique atmosphere of Havana, so sensual at dusk time. We continue with a mojito tasting in a trendy bar in the Vedado, before choosing one of the very good restaurants in the area for dinner. A good night's rest will then be welcome!
Havana
Steps: La Havane
We will start the day with a visit of Habana Vieja: discovery of the old historical center classified as world heritage by UNESCO, walk in the picturesque paved streets, visit of the baroque palaces, museums, and the unavoidable monumental squares that are the Plaza Vieja, the Plaza de Armas and the Plaza de la Catedral. We can plan a lunch in the latter, in a superb historical setting. In the afternoon, direction Plaza de la Revolución to take some pictures of this mythical square, then visit the museum of the Revolution.

Viñales Park
Steps: Viñales
A day trip, on horseback or on foot, through the Viñales Park, a UNESCO natural heritage site, and its famous mogotes, these immense limestone hills, rounded and covered with lush vegetation. We will take this opportunity to discover the tobacco plantations and learn more about the Cuban art of cigar rolling. Night in Viñales or return to Havana at the end of the day.
Places of interest : VALLE DE VIÑALES
Departure for Trinidad
Steps: Trinidad
If we stayed in Viñales, much of the day will be spent on transportation to Trinidad, against a half-day road from Havana. We will therefore be devoting the time remaining in the afternoon and in the evening to take its brands in the best preserved colonial town in the country, full of charm as the sun rises.
Trinidad and Tobago
Steps: Valle De Los Ingenios
After a good breakfast in the picturesque centre of Trinidad with its colourful facades, we will take the road to the Valley of the Ingenios. This vast area, located 30 minutes east of Trinidad, was the focus of Cuban sugar production in the 19th century. You can ride through the valley on horseback, through the ruins of more than 70 sugar factories. In the afternoon, head for the Playa Ancón, where you will cross the impressive Torre Manaca, a 45-metre high former slave watchtower.
