Havana

Havana, the capital, epitomizes the quintessential Cuban experience. Here, vintage American cars glide along streets lined with vibrant buildings and 18th-century colonial structures. The city is a fascinating juxtaposition of old and new, where colonial grandeur coexists with Cold War remnants and contemporary modernization efforts.

Trinidad

Trinidad, with its colonial-era architecture, cobbled streets, and colourful facades, feels like a step back into the 19th century. The wealth generated from sugar production in the past led to the construction of the pastel-hued buildings and colonial mansions that still stand today, creating a picturesque and historically rich environment.

This region is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, featuring dense tropical vegetation, red soil, verdant tobacco fields, and striking limestone hills.
