“TRANSFER TO CAYO CRUZ (ONE WAY) + 2 HOURS OF CITY TOUR IN SANCTI SPÍRITUS“ Tour

Sancti Spíritus is one of the oldest and most picturesque cities in Cuba, located in the center of the country. Founded on June 4, 1514 by Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, this city preserves great historical, cultural and architectural value. Its name, which means “Holy Spirit” in Latin, refers to the religious festivity of the foundation, and reflects the strong influence of the Catholic Church in its early days. The city of Sancti Spíritus is characterized by its cobblestone streets, vibrantly colored colonial houses and quiet squares, which evoke the colonial atmosphere of bygone times. Its historic center has been declared a National Monument, with the Plaza Mayor, where the Iglesia Parroquial Mayor del Espíritu Santo, one of the most important religious constructions in the region, is located. The colonial architecture blends with the passage of time, creating a unique atmosphere that attracts both tourists and residents.

One of the most emblematic elements of the city is the iron bridge over the Yayabo River, a construction dating from 1825 that has become a symbol of Sancti Spíritus. This bridge is considered one of the oldest in Cuba and is a meeting and photographic point for visitors to the city. Sancti Spíritus is also known for its rich cultural tradition and gastronomy. Music, especially trova and traditional Cuban music, is an integral part of daily life in the city. In the surroundings of Sancti Spíritus, there are natural areas of great beauty, such as the national parks and the plains of Cabaiguán, which invite visitors to explore the local flora and fauna.

Cayo Cruz is a small and beautiful tourist destination located in the province of Camagüey, in central Cuba. This key, which is part of the Jardines del Rey archipelago, has begun to gain notoriety for its impressive white sand beaches, crystal clear waters and an almost virgin natural environment, ideal for travelers in search of peace and natural beauty.
