Overview

Go local in Cuba, staying in family homes as you explore the island. If you’re after an authentic experience, you’ve found it. During this unique 2-week trip, you’ll stay at a casa particular in each destination, eating home-cooked meals and staying with a local family. You’ll have your own en-suite facilities and door key, so you can come and go a you please. It’s by far the best way to get closer to the local community and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Itinerary

1Arrival – Havana

Upon arrival to Havana airport, meet, greet and transfer to the local family

2-3Havana

Havana has a distinct, exotic personality that you won’t find anywhere else on the planet

Spend two nights in the heart of timeless Old Havana; a mix of crumbling colonial beauty, peeling bygone glamour and colossal Caribbean soul, it’s a law unto itself

Rumba music bounces between the brightly painted buildings and Latino life breathes from every balcony. It really has to be seen to be believed

4-5Havana – Viñales

This morning you’ll travel to the tobacco town of Viñales

Today you will enjoy a horseback ride through the rolling hills of Viñales, Cuba’s rustic cigar region

You’ll explore the valley on horseback and on foot, learning about the art of cigar-rolling and meet the local Guajiros

If you’re looking for an authentic experience, you’ve found it

6-8Las Terrazas

Las Terrazas, Cuba’s pioneering eco-village is a beautiful natural playground just begging to be explored

Walk to hidden waterfalls, get to know the forest on foot and discover how coffee is grown

During this trip, you’ll spend 2 nights tucked away in the trees of Las Terrazas, staying in a truly unique resort built around a giant tree

Now protected under UNESCO biosphere status, the area is an example of eco-tourism at its very best

9-10Las Terrazas - Trinidad

He’ll take you on a voyage of discovery and show you life behind the facades of the colored cobblestone streets.

During your trip he will also show you schools, tobacco and cigar factories, laundry facilities, and local outlets of fresh fruit. It will give you a real insight into real life in Cuba

11-14Trinidad - Varadero

Sometimes called the world’s greatest beach, tourists flock to Varadero like flamingoes to a lagoon. It’s easy to see why: A classic tropical paradise, it’s home to swaying palms, powdery sands and shimmery sapphire waters.

While it’s far from an authentic experience, it’s a great taste of the tropical highlife

Just 2 hours from Havana, what it lacks in castaway sensation, it makes up for in feel-good vibes
