Stopping points of the tour
Havana
The best thing about Havana is the city itself - its architecture, streets and famous promenades. Especially famed is the historical centre of the city that was declared part of the world's cultural heritage. This vibrant city is a scientific and cultural centre. Within its 47 km of coastline, you will find 20 km of beaches as well as places to go diving and deep-sea fishing.
Trinidad
This city is considered to be one of Cuba’s main attractions. The traffic free, colonial district with its colourful houses and old, massive cobblestone crowns the rest of the city as its highest point. You can admire interesting details of colonial architecture when walking through the streets around Plaza Mayor. Especially famous are the high windows with their skilfully carved wooden bars that were replaced last century by iron bars. These so-called rejas invite the energetic street life into the house, rather than excluding it. Around Plaza Mayor, the most elegant square in Cuba, stand the city palaces of Trinidad’s richest families: Iznagas, Ortiz and Brunete, whose palaces are nowadays
museums.
Viñales
This internationally known region lies 180 km west from Havana in Sierra de los Organos, in Pinar del Rio province. It has stunning scenery, rich flora and fauna and interesting cave systems, the largest on Cuba and Antilles. The valley's specific character is created through Jurassic rocks and cliffs. One of its attractions are mogotes, the lime stone peaks with steep sides and partly rounded crests. Their height can reach up to 400 meters. The tobacco plantations make this region even more attractive and interesting. Rural Viñales, a place in country style, is located between mountains. It is very picturesque and rich in traditions and customs. A typical feature of Viñales is the combination of colonial and classical style elements, pillars, red roofs and the colourful windows in the houses, most of which were built at the end of 18th/ beginning of the 19th century.
Las Terrazas
The community of Las Terrazas in eastern Pinar del Río belongs to the Nature Park Sierra del Rosario, Cuba's first UNESCO-sanctioned biosphere reserve. Here you can find the ruins of about 20 French coffee estates dating back to the 19 th century, sulphurous springs, an artists' colony with small art galleries and diverse leisure facilities. Enjoy the pristine nature of Las Terrazas and relax at on of the picturesque lakes and waterfalls.
