Vida Cubana
Cultural Curiosity !
15th - 23rd February 2025
Overview
Saludas Cuba!
Let’s jump into a time capsule as soon as you set foot into Havana, Cuba’s Capital. It’s rich history seen through every person walking down its colonial streets, different salsa tunes playing from open inviting houses, along with delicious aromas of the Cuban kitchen with it’s multitude of spices.
But Cuba is not only about the authentic streets of Havana. The next deep breath you take will be right in the middle of lush green valleys with scattered hills and different farms with rocky outcrops. Just be careful that you do not inhale that deep breath while you are in the middle of a tobacco field!
And what’s Cuba without a warm home welcoming you with late night stories about love, war, and more!
Let’s put our salsa shoes on and enjoy Cuba this February!

Between the past & the present!
Havana is much more than beautiful cars and colorful buildings.
On your feet for most of the day, we will be touring Old Havana and getting a crash course on Cuba’s history through its artistic buildings, ancient forts, colonial streets and different theatres.
We are sure that we will be breaking many stereotypes along the way.

After spending the morning touring the rest of Havana, get ready for a different journey all together as you enjoy the road into the 200 km lush valley of Vinales!
Declared as World Heritage Site, endless landscapes of plains and hills will be waiting for you.

Valleys and Caves
Pick your favorite horse, and lets head straight into the valley!
While we horseback between beautiful green farms and hills, as we pass by many families along the way, make sure that they will definitely invite you in for a bite and to check out their different harvest!
Back on your feet for the rest of the day, we will hike up Cuevas de Santo Tomas for an amazing trail and view.
Day 5
The Two Cs!

Day 6 & 7
Home Stay in Trinidad
After being welcomed into a local family stay in Trinidad, we’re not sure whether you’d like to spend your time exploring the surroundings or going back in time with the stories that each family member will have!
Going back to the old small town feeling, you will get a chance to discover Trinidad’s cozy piazzas and might end up snorkeling in its blue waters.
Day 8
Blue Water of Varadero
Their’s blue, and then there is the crystal waters of Varadero!
One thing that will leave you in awe is that within an hour of rustic colorful building of Havana, you will find one the most crystal clear white sand beaches you have ever come across.
Let’s take in this day to enjoy some water activities, watch an amazing sunset and reflect on what we have come to know about Cuba.
Day 9
Till we Meet Again!
Heading back to Havana for some free time and last minutes shopping, feel free to enjoy the day with the many experiences that you might have wanted to do in the first day!
