HOLIDAY TYPES
Pearl of the Caribbean Escorted Tour
This eight day group tour shows you the highlights of central and western Cuba, starting and ending in Havana. A great introduction to Cuba for the first time visitor and also a good combination with a few days by the beach.
After a couple of days exploring Havana, head east via Santa Clara where you'll find the Che Guevara mausoleum, before continuing to the colonial city of Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you'll stay in a beautiful former colonial mansion. Also visit Cienfuegos and rural villages in Pinar del Rio province. You then travel to the Viñales Valley to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Sierra del Rosario National Park before returning to Havana.
You can easily extend your Cuba holiday by adding on a few days at one of the beach destinations that include Varadero, Jibacoa or one of the smaller cays such as Cayo Largo or Cayo Santa Maria at the beginning or end of your tour.
