“TO HAVANA“ Tour

“TO HAVANA“ Tour

Havana, Cuba's capital, is a vibrant city full of history that captivates everyone who visits it. Founded in 1519 by Spanish navigator Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, Havana has become a melting pot of cultures, where African, Spanish and Caribbean traditions merge, creating a unique identity. One of the most striking aspects of Havana is its historic district, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Old Havana, with its cobblestone streets and colonial buildings, offers a fascinating tour of the city's past. The Plaza de la Catedral, the Plaza de Armas and the Malecón are just some of the emblematic places that make up the soul of this city.

The Malecón, a long promenade that runs along Havana's coastline, is an iconic place to stroll at sunset, where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy the views of the Caribbean Sea and the city's skyline. Havana is also noted for its vibrant cultural life, with multiple art galleries, museums and, of course, music. Salsa, son and Cuban jazz are genres that resonate in every corner, and it is common to hear the melody of a trombone or the sound of congas in its streets. Despite the changes it has undergone over the years, Havana retains its authenticity. Its antique American cars, which seem to have traveled back in time, and its colorful but worn architecture, give it a nostalgic air that attracts tourists, who are captivated by the mix of old and new. The city's inhabitants, known as habaneros, are known for their warmth and hospitality, always willing to share a story or a smile.

Havana is not just a tourist destination; it is a city that breathes history, culture and passion. It is a place that invites to be explored, that invites you to immerse yourself in its essence and let yourself be carried away by the magic of its streets, its people and its music.
