“TO SANTA CLARA“ Tour

Santa Clara, the city located in the heart of Cuba, is famous for its historical connection with the revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara. This place is not only witness to important episodes of the Cuban Revolution, but also breathes an atmosphere of revolutionary fervor and deep-rooted culture. In Santa Clara, every corner tells a story of courage and resistance. The Che Guevara Memorial, with its imposing sculpture and mausoleum, is a focal point that attracts visitors from around the world, eager to better understand the figure of the legendary guerrilla leader. Che's remains rest here, in a place that symbolizes the struggle for social justice and equality.

But Santa Clara is more than a monument. It is a vibrant city, where Cuban music, art and culture are intertwined with revolutionary history. Its lively streets, colorful markets and welcoming inhabitants bear witness to a community proud of its heritage and committed to the ideals that Che Guevara championed.

The historic center of Santa Clara is a place full of life, where the squares and paved streets invite visitors to walk and discover its period architecture. The Plaza Mayor is one of the busiest meeting points, surrounded by buildings that tell stories of yesteryear, and with a great cultural offer, including museums, theaters and art galleries. The city is also a center of education and science, home to the Central University “Marta Abreu” of Las Villas, one of the most important of the island. This has made Santa Clara a key point for Cuban youth and a place where academic and cultural life are intertwined.
