This once-in-a-lifetime trip to Cuba will be one not to miss. You will experience Cuba through all of your senses but most importantly through your hearing as the music follows you everywhere in Cuba. You will get to visit not one but TWO major Cuban cities that will take your breath away.
ITINERARY
Day 1 - Welcome Dinner
Havana-hmm-nana, yes, you have finally made it, and you are ready to discover this mesmerizing Caribbean island. Upon your arrival, our premium transportation service will whisk you away to your fabulous accommodation in Havana, where you will check in, settle in and relax and get ready to attend our welcome dinner full of amazing Cuban dishes and drinks. After indulging in your luscious dinner, prepare for a night of fun as we stroll through the city in the most beautiful vintage cars!
Day 2 - Vintage cars - Rhum Tasting and Salsa
Today is a day of learning and discovery. After your tropical breakfast, join us for a historical tour of the city. We will visit museums, the famous bars, have a rum tasting, and dance salsa until we drop. You will learn more about the Cuban revolution and much more. Later that afternoon, join us in a first-class Cuban rum tasting and tour where you will learn about the rum-making process and taste. It wouldn't be a great Cuba trip if you didn't dance some Salsa, join us in this energizing Salsa class with our amazing instructor and dance the afternoon away!
Day 3 - Day trip to Viñales
Rise and shine. Today will be one of your most memorable days in Cuba. This day is full of adventures and exploration. Upon enjoying your breakfast, we will escape to the countryside of Cuba, where the air is fresher, and the colors are brighter. Upon arrival, you will visit a tobacco farm where you will learn the process of making Cuban cigars. Then hop on your favorite horse of choice and ride your way through the valleys and the farms of this beautiful city, then you will be taken to the hidden caves. You will have the afternoon to visit the town and do as you please. Then we will return to Havana, where the night will be young and the possibilities endless.
Day 4 - Beach Day
Vamos a la playa! Discover Cuba's crystal clear waters that will have you believe you are in a pool, but you are not. Pull out your phone and camera, or better yet, let our professional photographer take the most breathtaking shot of you. This will make your friends back home jealous! Immerse yourself and all senses in a seafood combo culinary treat on us. The afternoon is yours to do as you please as this will be your last day in Havana. Take advantage of that.
Day 5 - Last Day
Today is a sad day because it is the day that we return home. Enjoy your last full course breakfast on us. Our drivers will take you to the airport. We hope you've enjoyed your stay and learning experience in Cuba and look forward to seeing you soon.
