CUBA TOUR
RHYTHMS OF CUBA – 14 DAYS
Departing Havana on 17th of March 2023
Changes are afoot in Cuba but for now at least, it remains a wonderful mix of colourful revolutionary history, faded colonial mansions, vintage cars, glistening Caribbean beaches and incredibly friendly people. Join our Byroads Cuba tour and experience all that this intriguing island nation has to offer.
Beginning in the capital we explore the cobbled stone streets of Old Havana with its colourful culture and compelling history. We then fly to Baracoa, Cuba’s oldest and most isolated town at the eastern most end of the island. Here we enjoy the natural surrounds before continuing on to the lively music filled streets of Santiago. We climb to the turrets of San Pedro Fort for great views and a highlight is a ferry ride to the tiny red roofed fishing village on the island of Cayo Granma.
Our Cuba tour travels on to the central highland town of Camaguey where we explore the narrow streets by bicycle taxi before arriving at the coastal village of Trinidad. Time here for some great optional activities including walking, horse riding and swimming. At Santa Clara we reflect on the Cuban revolution at the Che Guevara memorial and from Cienfuegos we stop to swim at the infamous Bay of Pigs before arriving back in lively Havana.
