Driving conditions:
Please note, that the driving conditions in Cuba are not comparable to the streets in Europe or other countries. The roadways are partly in poor conditions (bumpy, with potholes and in parts not asphalted). Therefore, it is necessary to drive slowly. Also animals and carriages on the road are no rarity. Because of this, longer travel time might be possible.

Habanagram - Captured in time:
Since its foundation in 1519, Havana has lived a love story with the sea. From a classic American car, you will take a panoramic tour in search of the perfect views where the city and the sea merge: The Morro fortress, the Malecon in Havana and the viewpoint of the Plaza de la Revolución. Continue at a leisurely pace through the parks and mansions of Vedado neighborhood, down to the authentic municipality of Centro Habana. Once there, relish in a unique gastronomic experience at La Guarida, one of the most famous restaurants in Cuba and footage setting of the Oscar-nominated film "Strawberry and Chocolate". Well into the afternoon, head for the historic centre of the city. There, we will not forget to take you along the bustling Obispo Street, through the Plaza de Armas with a visit to the Segundo Cabo Palace, through the Plaza de la Catedral and, at the end, we will treat you to a delicious Cuban coffee in the stunning Plaza Vieja. To conclude the afternoon, you will return to the accommodation in a fun Cocotaxi (the Tuk Tuk from Havana).

Viñales - The Valley of the Mogotes:
Each viewpoint has its charm. Our excursion today departs from Havana to the town of Viñales, where you will find some of the best-known views of Cuba: the Viñales Valley with its unmistakable Mogotes. Rest your eyes before this wonder of nature and observe its fertile lands where tobacco is also cultivated. Learn the basic principles of harvesting tobacco and the art of twisting a cigar from a local farmer. From the top of a hill, overlooking the characteristic tranquility of the Valle del Silencio, enjoy a lunch made with organic products grown by a nature-loving family. Before returning to the capital, enjoy an exquisite Piña Colada while taking in one of the largest open-air murals in the world: The Mural of Prehistory. This painting reflects the evolution of the species in Cuba before the arrival of man.

After breakfast, you will take the national highway towards the beautiful marine city of Cienfuegos. This port city, founded by a group of French and Spanish settlers at the beginning of the 19th century, has one of the most important bays in the country, and among its many attributes, striking neoclassical architecture. After lunch at a local paladar, you will visit the Palacio de Valle, an emblematic mansion located in the Punta Gorda district that recalls Hispanic Moorish architecture with Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Mudejar influences. We then leave for the next city on our route founded by the Spanish Crown in Cuba in 1514 under the name Villa de la Santísima Trinidad; the third town founded in Cuba. Today Trinidad is one of the best-preserved colonial cities not only in Cuba, but also in America. In the afternoon, we will savor a refreshing cocktail in a local downtown bar.

Walking the streets of Trinidad is not an easy task due to the uneven cobbled streets that are more than 2 centuries old. However, the historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is quite a spectacle for its stately mansions that preserve the splendor of an era where slavery turned sugar into a coveted commodity. With the sugar mills that grew in the valley, wealth appeared and Trinidad became one of the main cities of Cuba. Our tour also shows the art that flourished in the villa with a visit to an embroidery workshop and a potter's home. In the afternoon, you will travel 12 km to the coast to bathe in the Caribbean waters and wait for sunset.
