Today your individual trip through Cuba begins and we are already waiting for you at the airport to take you to your first accommodation. After the long flight, arrive and acclimatize. In the evening, enjoy a few delicious daiquiris on one of Havana’s many roof terraces and stroll along the Malecón, the famous beach promenade.
The next day you have time to get to know the city better. For example, take an exciting city tour through Havana – on foot and in a vintage car. You explore the famous old town on a city tour with a English-speaking guide before, after a delicious lunch, you can watch the hustle and bustle of the Caribbean city from the window of a genuine vintage car. A must when visiting Havana!
On the third and fourth day of your 2-week Cuba tour, you have time to explore Havana on your own. Let yourself be overwhelmed by the charm of Havana. The Rum Museum of the Havana Club, the market hall with many stalls or the famous Malecon – we know many great places in Cuba’s capital and have the right tips for you.
If you feel like it, you can also take great day trips in the area around Havana. For example, we would be happy to organize a day trip to Viñales, the so-called Valley of Tobacco. There you can not only admire the magnificent nature, go on a horseback ride or a hike, but also learn many interesting facts about Cuban tobacco production. On a tobacco plantation, a local tobacco farmer will introduce you to the art of cigar rolling.
On your individual trip through Cuba, you will travel today to the historic Bay of Pigs on the south coast of Cuba. In the “Museo Memorial Comandancia de la FAR” you will receive detailed information about the defense against the attempted invasion of 1961.
A crocodile breeding farm and the Laguna del Tesoro, an open-air museum with replicas of the houses of the pre-Columbian Taíno culture, are among the cultural highlights. Of course, you can also linger on the beautiful beaches of Playa Girón or Playa Larga or snorkel on the surrounding reefs.
Your individual trip through Cuba takes you to Trinidad today, a tranquil place where you can practically breathe in the nostalgic flair of Cuba. The charismatic colonial city has a very well-preserved city center full of magnificent colonial buildings and has a lively music and cultural scene ready for your evening entertainment. In the evening, listen to the rhythmic sounds in the local Casa de la Música and enjoy a few refreshing cocktails.
If you would like to learn more about the history of Trinidad, a city tour with a German-speaking guide is worthwhile. The area surrounding the colonial city also offers many beautiful destinations. Plan your days as you wish and enjoy the culture, beaches and beautiful national parks in Trinidad on your individual trip through Cuba.
You continue your individual journey through Cuba and arrive today in the paradisiacal Cayo Coco. Cayo Coco’s beaches are particularly characterized by their crystal-clear, flat shores. The numerous different animal and plant species are under special protection, which is why only gentle tourism is permitted on Cayo Coco. You can therefore marvel at intact coral reefs, mangrove forests, swamp areas and, with a little luck, even observe some flamingos in their natural environment.
The next stop on your individual trip through Cuba is Camagüey – city of the “Tinajones” (clay pots), the capital of the province of the same name and the third largest city in Cuba. Camagüey has many picturesque streets and alleys and only a few tourists find their way here. In 2008, the historic old town of Camagüey was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The importance of the city lies in the special layout of its streets. These are very winding, unlike what was usual during the Spanish colonial period. The labyrinthine layout of the city has its origins in a time when the residents had to fight pirate attacks and the winding paths offered the population protection from the invaders. We recommend a tour through the labyrinth of streets in a bicitaxi, a type of Cuban rickshaw.
Today, on your individual trip through Cuba, you will discover the small town of Bayamo. The provincial capital impresses with its great history. Important battles of the War of Independence against the Spanish crown were fought here, among other things. Bayamo also has a lot to offer culturally.
If you are in Bayamo on a Saturday evening, you should definitely not miss the big festival “Noches de la Cubanía Bayamesa”. It takes place from 6 p.m. and lasts until the early morning. Food stalls, bars, music – half of Bayamo meets here. It doesn’t get more authentic than this.
Bayamo is also a good starting point for hikes in the Sierra Maestra. You can either go on a hike to the Comandancia de la Plata, the former command center of the Cuban revolutionaries around Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, or climb the Pico Turquino, Cuba’s highest mountain. The entrance to the national park is in Santo Domingo, 50 km away.
Santiago de Cuba can safely be described as the liveliest city on the island. It is nestled in a unique natural setting of turquoise sea, lush mountains and small beach bays. It is not only the friendly residents that make this city unique, it is also Havana’s strongest competitor in terms of literature, music and politics. The nightlife of the capital of the east is also very popular with the locals. After all, Santiago is considered the home of the Cuban dance style “Son”.
We recommend a city tour through Santiago’s picturesque city center. If you want to be active on your individual trip through Cuba, a hiking trip to the nearby La Gran Piedra is also worthwhile.
Depending on your flight times, you will be picked up from your accommodation and taken to the airport in Holguín. Full of new impressions, your individual trip through Cuba ends today and you take the flight home. You return home refreshed and full of wonderful memories. Alternatively, you can fly from Santiago de Cuba back to Havana and take your return flight from there.
