An island preserved from time
Cuba evokes hand-rolled cigars in the tobacco fields of Viñales, 1950s American cars that roam the cobbled streets of Havana, and salsa rhythms that escape from the colonial patios of Trinidad. This Caribbean island cultivates a unique way of life, between revolutionary heritage and centuries-old traditions. Colorful facades are reflected in the turquoise water, while the smell of Cuban coffee mingles with that of sea spray.
A tailor-made trip allows you to navigate between the island's fascinating contradictions, from the outdated splendor of Havana's palaces to the wild beaches of Cayo Coco, passing through the sugar plantations of the Los Ingenios valley.
What to absolutely see in Cuba?
Havana unfolds its urban theater between the Habana Vieja listed as a World Heritage site and the Malecón where families gather at sunset. Trinidad freezes colonial time in its paved alleys and pastel-colored houses, while the Viñales valley offers its karst landscapes dotted with mogotes and ancestral tobacco plantations. Santiago de Cuba vibrates to the rhythm of Afro-Cuban drums, the cradle of revolution and authentic rumba.
What type of trip to choose?
A 10 to 15-day stay allows you to grasp Cuban diversity between culture, nature and beach relaxation. The average budget of 2,200 € per person includes accommodation in authentic casas particulares and charming hotels, transfers in classic cars with driver, and cultural experiences led by passionate local guides. This destination is for travelers curious to discover a unique society, preserved from conventional tourism standards.
