BRIEF ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrive Havana:
Arrive in Havana at any time.
Day 2-3 Viñales:
Take a bus to the village of Viñales, surrounded by picturesque limestone pincushion hills. This haven for outdoor activities includes plenty of opportunities for cave exploration, hiking, biking, horseback riding or simply enjoying the views of the valley and sprawling tobacco fields below.
Day 4-5 Maria La Gorda:
Isolated and serene, María La Gorda is located in western Cuba, on the Guanahacabibes Peninsula. The area is filled with legends of pirates, old cannons and buried treasures! Maria La Gorda is famed for its clear seabed where you may see many species of coral and many more tropical fish. Enjoy the water, the beach and the amazing sunsets in this Cuban paradise. It is here that we will experience a sunset sail (subject to weather conditions). You can snorkel as you wait for the sun to set in this beautiful place.
Day 6-7 Soroa:
Learn the secrets of Cuban tobacco industry during a visit to the world-famous Robaina Tobacco Plantation, owned by Don Alejandro Robaina since 1950. Stop at the lush mountain resort of Soroa. Known as the “rainbow of Cuba,” the area receives a lot of rainfall resulting in the growth of tall trees and orchids. There are plenty of coffee plantations, waterfalls and hot springs to explore. Continue on to Havana for one last night and maybe one last dance in the capital.
