A cocktail of nature and culture, this is a trip that will help you grasp what makes Cuba tick. Meet the local ranchos, ride through the tobacco hills, salsa on the church steps and soak up the music of soulful Santiago. Over 2 weeks, you’ll fall for Old Havana’s faded chic, mosey between jungle-topped mountains, amble through aromatic coffee plantations, salsa through cobbled streets and hunt for hole-in-the-wall rum bars in Santiago. Filled with high spirits and local experiences, it’s one of our favorite itineraries.
