In the heart of the Caribbean lies a land of vibrant energy and unwavering spirit: Cuba. A tapestry of colours and charm, where every street corner tells the story of a proud nation that leaves a lasting impression on every traveller fortunate enough to visit. From classic vintage cars to fragrant cigars, from the cobbled streets of Havana to the pristine beaches of Varadero, we’ll spend 9 unforgettable days surrounded by history, music, and mojitos in one of the most unique destinations in the world.
Our journey begins in Havana, where we’ll immerse ourselves in its captivating atmosphere, sharing a Cuba Libre or a cigar with the locals. From there, we’ll travel to Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where we’ll embrace the spirit of this perfectly preserved colonial gem. Along the way, we’ll explore lush natural landscapes and enjoy seaside escapes before arriving in Matanzas, a charming town where we’ll dive into the authentic local culture. Finally, we’ll unwind in Varadero, one of the island’s most iconic beach destinations, soaking up the sun and tropical vibes.
Cuba is more than just a destination; it’s an emotion that stirs the soul. It tells stories of triumph, freedom, and hope, inspiring us to seize the moment, chase our dreams, and dance through life together. Are you ready to feel the magic of Cuba?
