Places to visit, cuba tour packages from india.
Over the centuries, Cuba has been the seat of various notable political and historical developments. Beginning with the arrival of the Spanish in 1492 until recent times, Cuba has often fallen victim to international restrictions and embargoes on trade, commerce and travel. Hence cut off from the rest of the world and untouched by tourism, Cuba exists in a time and space of its own.
Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean Islands, boasts a 5000-kms shoreline dotted with dazzling beaches, happening beach towns, glorious islands, magical coral reefs and sublime natural beauty. Miles of white sandy beach with turquoise blue waves breaking at the shore provide for awesome travelling experiences.
Explore urban Cuba by spending some time in Havana or Trinidad. Stroll through Havana’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed OLD Town to experience a journey back in time. With cobbled streets lined with Spanish style ancient colonial buildings and European cars from the 1950s Havana seems to be caught in a time warp.
Cuba is the home to some of the most warm and friendly people in the world. It is also of the safest countries to travel. You will always find police patrolling in Old Town Havana making it a safe place to venture out at any time at night as well. People are always ready to help with any kind of assistance needed.
Hence don’t be astonished if you receive a random meal invitation to a Cuban home. Feel free to dine and stay at local homestays known as Casa Particular to get a closer look at Cuban culture.
HIGHLIGHTS OF CUBA
Santa Clara
Old Havana or Habana Vieja is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and rightly so. The city exudes an aura of a carefully preserved old-world charm with its cobbled street, Neoclassical and Baroque style buildings, vintage cars and much more. There are innumerable walking streets lined with restaurants, the Plaza de la Catedral, a book market and Plaza de Armas that provide excellent photo opportunities and create lasting memories.
Once again a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Cuba, Trinidad is a well-maintained colonial city that is vibrant and comfortable. Tourists can walk around carelessly and enjoy the Spanish style architecture as cars are not allowed in the town centre. Trinidad is also the gateway to the mesmerizing Valley of the Sugar Mills. Back in the day, the sugar plantation flourished under the colonial rule and formed the basis to livelihood and international trade.
A quiet town located in the Villa Clara province of Cuba, Santa Clara is primarily known for the historical landmarks and as the seat of the Cuban Revolution. Santa Clara is often referred to as ‘Che’s City’ as this is where the revolutionary guerrilla leader was put to rest. As you walk down the streets you cannot miss the colourful wall murals dedicated to the great leader and a colossal bronze statue of the man himself.
Located in the eastern province of Guantanamo, Baracoa is the oldest city of Cuba. Baracoa was set apart from mainland Cuba until the 1960s when the La Farola highway was constructed. Hence the city provides a remote feel that is both authentic and relaxing for the visitors. One can soak up its beauty in the colonial architecture, lush greenery, pretty waterfalls and powdery beaches. The best way to reach Baracoa is by driving down the 49 kms La Farola highway across the mountains and forests that connects the city with mainland Santiago.
Founded by Spanish invaders in 1515, Santiago is a leading administrative centre and the second-largest city in Cuba. Located in southern Cuba, the region is characterised by vibrant Afro-Cuban culture, lively music, spectacular architecture and warm people. One of the most attractive features of the city is the July Carnival that celebrates the Spanish patron St. James and African slaves’ religion Yoruba.
Snorkelling – Enjoy a wide variety on marine creatures and mangroves along the coral reefs of Guardalavaca or at Playa Giron by the Bay of Pigs.
Scuba Diving & Swimming in a Cenote – Take a quick dive into the cool waters of Saturn Cave or Cueva de Saturno in the cenote cave near Varadero.
Smoke a Cigar – Take a puff of the world-famous Cuban cigar while strolling down the streets of Havana.
Deep Sea Fishing – Rent a boat and sail deep into the Atlantic for a once in a lifetime fishing experience at Cayo Coco.
Sky Diving – Go skydiving with professional jumpers in Matanzas.
TOP TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Varadero is undoubtedly the best beach destination in both Cuba and the whole of the Caribbean. Turquoise blue waters, white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, a plethora of beach activities like deep-sea fishing, sky diving and swimming along with some mouthwatering cuisine and mojitos make this an unforgettable destination.
Stretching along the Peninsula de Hicacos, Varadero is home to some beautiful nature reserves that include Parque Natural Punta Hicacos , Cueva de Ambrosio and Cueva de Musulmanes.
Located in the Holguin province, the beaches of Guardalavaca is quiet, isolated and provides visitors with a perfectly relaxing mood. The lush greenery along the beaches provide for a cool shade for all those looking for a respite from the scorching tropical sun.
Located in the western part of the country, Vinales is a 150-square km landscape of rolling green valley nestled in the Sierra de los Organos. Steep limestone hills known as mogotes abounds the valley thereby lending the area with an almost magical effect.
Parque Nacional Viñales is extremely popular amongst tourists for the countless outdoor activities it has on offer. The limestone hills attract rock-climbers, hikers and even horseback riding opportunities in the surrounding areas.
Situated in the heart of Cuba’s capital city Havana, the Malecon is a 7-km-long sea-facing promenade buzzing with life and activity. Strolling down the promenade one can enjoy the 20th century Art Deco and Neo Moorish style buildings, watch classic cars pacing up and down the streets or simply sit back and relax.
The pastel-coloured pink and yellow buildings along the seashore are a delight to watch during sunset especially if you are a shutterbug.
Beyond beautiful beaches, verdant valleys and art deco architecture, Cuba also has an extremely illustrious and eventful political history. Che Guevara is undoubtedly the most prominent figure of Cuba’s guerrilla battle.
Hence a visit to the Che Guevara memorial and the adjacent Museo Historico de la Revolucion is a must-visit for a deep understanding of Cuba’s history.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Castillo del Morro is a majestic 17th-century Spanish fortress located at the Bay of Santiago. Over the centuries the fortress has served as a watchtower to protect against pirate attacks, as a prison in the 1700s and finally converted into a prison.
In the present day, the fortress houses a small museum where visitors may learn about pirates, history of the fort or ascend the fortress for some impressive views of the bay.
Bird watchers and wildlife photographers are spoilt for choices in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Peninsula de Zapata.
Located in southern Cuba, the Zapata swamp is a massive wetland that is home to more 150 species of birds including hens, parrots and waterhens. The area also a refuge for Cuban crocodiles at a crocodile farm known as Criadero de Cocodrilos.

With JourneyCart, we planned honeymoon tour to Mauritius. We got a decent hotel booking by Journey Cart. The hotel serves Indian food and it's located in front of Mauritius west coast beach. Mauritius sightseeing was also planned well, with rest day after an activity day. Overall, it was a very good Mauritius experience with Journey Cart's arrangements. Mr. Abhilash Sadhale
Journey Cart helped us to make our honeymoon trip to Kerala memorable. Team helped throughout our journey answering all of our queries. Most important aspect of our journey was the driver (and his AC car) who was with us all the time - he was very kind, fluent in English and Hindi and cooperative. Hotels were of extraordinary quality. Meal (dinner and breakfast) quality was also good. I really would recommend Journey Cart to anyone who is planning to make their holidays memorable with their beloved ones. Mr. Vishal Mohan Telangre
They provide wide range of holiday packages for domestic and international travel where you can customize the package as you need. We customized a Kerala package for 8 , we enjoyed a lot, amazing stays and delightful food. Mr. Yogesh Adhau

Complete Cuba Tour
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the pandemic the domestic flights services have been suspended in Cuba. We have therefore changed this tour itinerary to avoid further disruption to our customers. Tour Itinerary is valid as of 04 Feb 2022 - click here to see the old itinerary.
Itinerary Summary
Tour description.
Our 20 day Complete Cuba tour is a combination of our 15 day Original Cuba tour package and our 6 day Western Cuba tour package. We think this is the best tour to travel the entire length of the island to experience Cuba's fascinating diversity . It takes you to many of Cuba's natural and historic highlights , however the emphasis of the tour is on contact with the Cuban people and their culture .
We also give you plenty of time to do your own adventuring in Cuba. Nevertheless, your local tour guide is available everyday to recommend places to explore and to help you arrange excursions and day trips.
Tour Summary
Itinerary details, day 1 - havana arrival day.
You are free to arrive in Havana at whatever time you can today . We have set aside this first day for this purpose, so you won't miss out on anything, even if you arrive late in the evening. Your included airport arrival transfer will be provided . This will be either a government taxi or a private car, and will take you directly from the Havana airport to your guesthouse for the first night in Havana.
Your tour guide will leave a note for you in the guesthouse with some information for you to get settled and details of any tour group meeting times. The first of these will be a get together for dinner on the first night for those tour group members that have arrived in time.
If you do happen to arrive earlier in the day, you may have time to go and explore some of Havana . At some stage during the tour, your tour guide will include a walking tour of Old Havana . After confirming your tour booking with us, we will also send you a set of maps for each city you will visit in Cuba. This is like a mini guide book that we update every year - so it is usually more up-to-date than a typical guide book. We do recommend the guide books for Cuba however, especially for the background historical and cultural information sections.
Day 2 - Cienfuegos via Bay of Pigs
On our way to Cienfuegos, we drive along the beautiful coastline of the Bay of Pigs . This is where the landing of a counter-revolutionary exile militia occurred in 1961. The ensuing battle with the Cuban Revolutionary forces resulted in the first defeat of a U.S backed take-over in Latin America. Your guide will explain in more detail the dramatic events. If the conditions are favourable, we can stop for a swim at a beautiful spot on the bay that is ideal for snorkelling. Snorkelling masks are available at a small cost.
Cienfuegos appeal lies partly in the European flavour of its colonial hub, with a wide Parisian-style boulevard and elegant colonnades, and there is an ambience to inspire Cuba’s most celebrated Son singer to write the words “Cienfuegos is the city I like best” . You'll have time to take in the ambience with a pleasant stroll along the boulevard and to the main square.
Day 3 - Camaguey via Santa Clara
Before reaching Camaguey we first drop in on the historic inland city of Santa Clara . It's here that we encounter a huge statue of Ernesto Ché Guevara . We take time to visit the museum that is directly under the statue, and which tells the story of Ché's fascinating life. There is also a mausoleum with an eternal flame that commemorates his death and that of the revolutionaries who were with him in Bolivia.
Cuba's third largest city lies about halfway between Havana and Santiago de Cuba . Camaguey was designed in the 17th century to disorientate potential invaders such as pirates and plunderers, so the street layout is a jumble of narrow alleys where no two streets are parallel. There are large parks, various private art galleries, and a thriving market garden, and one will enjoy strolling through this city. This is also a university town and has a rich cultural tradition, and like just about everywhere in Cuba, there is plenty of night time entertainment to be had.
Camaguey is a proud and cultural city, and has some of the best schools and institutions in Cuba.
Day 4 - Holguin
Before we set off for Holguin we will start the morning with a guided visit to the ballet school in Camaguey. We then head to the province of Holguin - the third largest province in Cuba. While Holguin is popular mostly as a beach resort destination, it is also known for its rich architectural structures that date back to the 19th century, among many other historical places in the city which we will see on our walking tour. The rest of the day is free to wander this interesting city and visit some of the many historical sites and museums, take a cultural trip to learn more about the original inhabitants of the island, or visit some of the beautiful parks and green spaces or walk to the Loma de la Cruz (the hill of the cross) well worth a visit with spectacular views. Holguin has a number of places related to a Cuban hero called Calixto Garcia . There are numerous great venues for music and to enjoy the nightlife, and many good places to eat.
Day 5,6 - Baracoa
When Christopher Columbus first encountered Cuba it was here, and he duly noted in his log-book that this was the most beautiful land that human eyes could set upon . You will understand what he meant when you see the beaches and verdant mountain landscape that surround Baracoa . Situated on a beautiful bay with the mountains of the Sierra del Purial in the background, Baracoa was the first settlement founded by the Spanish in Cuba, and was only accessible by sea until the end of the 1960s. There are numerous options for outdoor activities in the nearby mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and beaches . Baracoa is also known for its variety of fresh seafood, and chocolate made from local cacao plantations.
- Lunch will be included on Day 5.
Day 7, 8 - Santiago de Cuba
A spectacular drive through lush mountains of eastern Cuba, then along a rugged and beautiful section of coast, and later past the region’s most controversial leasehold of Guantanamo Bay , brings us to what is known as the “cradle of Cuba's Revolution” . Santiago is home to much of Cuba’s famed music , like the Son. There are also museums, colonial churches and buildings of more recent historical importance, such as the Moncada Barracks, which are well worth exploring.
Santiago de Cuba has a very vibrant traditional music scene , and it's here that we include what we call a Noche Santiaguera . It's an interactive night of music and dance where we invite some local Santiago friends of ours to come with us to a local traditional music venue, and they will invite you to join them on the dance floor to learn some dance moves. For those that are willing, you'll have the chance to get up on stage and play an instrument with the local Cuban band. Culturally, Santiago has a different feel to the rest of Cuba , undoubtedly coming from the mix of French speaking slaves from Haiti and its proximity to Jamaica.
Day 9 - Bayamo vía Sanctuary of El Cobre
Today we head to Bayamo from Santiago de Cuba, via the Sanctuary of El Cobre . El Cobre is a small town with a significant statue to Cimmaron, commemorating the copper mine slave uprising in the 17th century. It is also the most important place of worship in Cuba and the home of the patron Saint of Cuba - Our Lady of Charity. This is a fascinating stop and insight into Cuba culture, religion and customs.
After we leave El Cobre we continue onto Bayamo , a small quiet town, not what you would expect for the capital of this province. The people in Bayamo are very laid back and it is a pleasant contrast to the hustle and bustle of vibrant Santiago de Cuba. Bayamo is the second Spanish city founded in Cuba (1513) as was named Villa de San Salvador de Bayamo”. During the 17th and 18th century, the idea of Cuban Independence began here with Cespedes who freed his slave and formed a small army, starting the War of Independence against Spain . Rather than surrender, the rebels famously held Bayamo for three days before burning it to the ground. There is an interesting wax museum we will visit during our walking tour.
Bayamo sits at the foot of the Sierra Maestra , where you can do an optional hike into the mountains to visit Fidel’s hideout & rebel radio encampment as it was during the 1950’s. If you prefer not to visit the Sierra Maestra you can relax in Santo Domingo from where the hike begins. Santo Domingo is located at the entrance to the Pico Turquino National Park and on the banks of the Yara river where you can take a swim in the cool water. There is one hotel here in Santo Domingo where you can sit and enjoy the fresh, crisp mountain air overlooking the river. Read more about this Sierra Maestra excursion here .
Day 10,11,12 - Trinidad
Trinidad is home to numerous churches and many beautiful colonial buildings. We are near the lovely Valle de los Ingenios (Valley of Sugarmills) and Playa Ancón, where you can enjoy long stretches of unspoiled, white sand beaches . Scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming in waterfalls and horse-riding are other optional activities.
The nightlife in Trinidad is probably the most accessible and intense in all of Cuba, with numerous live music venues and many dance performances everyday of the week, all amongst the enchanting setting of old colonial buildings and the cobblestone streets.
- Dinner will be included on Day 12.
Day 13,14, 15 - Havana
We arrive late in the afternoon of Day 13, so you have 3 nights and 2 whole days to experience the Caribbean's largest and most famous city in this middle part of the tour. Your tour guide will provide an introduction with the included walking tour of the Old town scheduled for the morning of Day 14. You always have the option to skip this and explore on your own. We also offer a range of other day tours in Havana that you can add to your package.
The Caribbean's largest and most exciting urban concentration, Havana is one of the oldest cities in the Western Hemisphere, and was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Options are to take the included walking tour of the Old town with the guide or to find your own adventure.
This concludes the first section of your tour . On Day 15 you may lose some of your travelling companions and possibly welcome some others to the group who are only doing the last section of this tour. It's also possible that you will have a change of tour guide, however we do always try to schedule things so that the same guide takes you for the entire 20 days.
Day 16 - Soroa via Jaimanitas & Las Terrazas
Heading west of Havana in private transport, we stop in a couple of Havana neighbourhoods to see some community art projects. The first one is an alley called the Callejon de Hammel . This is where local artist Salvador Gonzáles Escalona has done some colourful decorations of the street with a distinctive African flavour. In fact, many of the works are dedications to specific Afro-Cuban religious demi-gods.
Next we visit a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Havana called Jaimanitas . It is here that Jose Fuster has made a very impressive project called Fusterlandia in which works are made in mosaic ceramics. It extends from his own residence to surrounding houses and streets. Even the local medical clinic has been targeted by his creative efforts.
Next stop is a mountainous area called Las Terrazas . The town itself was built as part of an environmental project in the early days of the Revolution. You'll have time for a walk around the town and to meet some of the locals. Apart from its environmental characteristics, Las Terrazas is also known as for its art, and there are a few woodwork, painting and pottery studios, that are open to the public.
We eventually arrive to the mountain resort town of Soroa where we stay in the homes of the local humble residents. There are quite a few attractions around this heavily forested area including a short trek to a waterfall, a steep walk to a lookout, and an orchid garden with about 200 different types of orchids, more than half of which are endemic to Cuba. Today there won’t be time for activities, but you may be able to do them tomorrow morning before departing to Viñales.
Day 17 - Viñales
Before reaching the town of Vinales we can stop at a lookout which has some great views of the Vinales valley. Parts of this stunning area are listed with UNESCO for the value of their rural scenery and heritage.
In the afternoon we have time to take you to the home of a local tobacco farmer , who will show you his life and how he rolls his own cigars.
Day 18 - Viñales
Today you have a full day with no included activities . This is you opportunity to do as you please, and there are plenty of options available that your guide can arrange for you. Our travellers in the past have highly recommended the walk through parts of the valley with a guide that is local to the Vinales area. There are also caving, horse riding, and biking excursions available.
Another option is to do some voluntary work on a local organic farm (and staying for dinner!), or heading to one of the beautiful beaches nearby - Cayo Levisa or Cayo Jutias.
There are a couple of hotels on the outskirts of the town with some swimming pools you can use for a small fee - a good option if you just want to relax and enjoy the views while drinking a cocktail or two.
The nightlife in Vinales is very friendly and active , and the locals are always enthusiastically involved. There is live music nightly and usually a dance performance or two. But the main emphasis is on participation and the locals are not shy in asking visitors to share a dance. In fact, many travellers will tell you that Vinales is one of the best places in Cuba to interact with the locals.
Day 19 - Havana
We return to Havana to celebrate the last night of the tour , and for some, their last night in Cuba. With recent changes to the laws in Cuba, and legal opportunities for Cubans to open their own businesses, there are many more good options for restaurants, bars, and night spots . Your tour guide will no doubt suggest a few for a group celebration.
Day 20 - Depart Havana
Today is the departure day of the tour , and you are free to depart at anytime. Don't hesitate to ask your guide for help if you want to organise a few extra days in Havana at the end of your tour.

Dates & Prices
Unfortunately, we don't offer late returns on this package. However, if you select the Land Only option, you're welcome to make your own arrangements to arrive early or stay later. Want to extend your trip?
Options & Fees
1. There is limited inventory of more spacious rooms at our casa in Havana for an additional $95 per person, double occupancy. Please call us to request.
1. Baggage fees must be paid at airport for each flight. In Cuba, this must be paid in cash. Price is subject to the airline and can change at any time.
So that we can offer you the best deals, our packages are, like most hotels and cruises, priced based on double occupancy rooms or cabins. We charge solo travelers an extra fee to cover the extra costs of single occupancy rooms or cabins. (Consider: if you booked a $200/night hotel room solo, you would pay the $200 yourself; but if a couple booked the same room, each one would pay only $100.) But you only pay extra for the rooms or cabins, nothing else, including meals, sightseeing, tips, etc. Why are single rooms more?
Flights & Departure Cities
This package includes round-trip flights from the city listed above. Please review the flight schedule , especially if you're booking connecting flights.
Want to fly from another city? We can arrange flights from most major cities. Ask us for a quote for flights from your preferred city when (or after) you book, and we'll get back to you with the price and availability within 3 business days. Of course, you can also book your own flights. More information

Later, walk along Havana's renovated San Rafael Boulevard, visiting with multiple private entrepreneurs along the way. The boulevard hosts some of Havana's most innovative projects and one-of-a-kind shops.

After lunch at a local paladar, take a walk in Jaimanitas, a neighborhood unlike any you have ever seen, where you'll discover a wonderland of mosaic art created by independent artist Jose Fuster. Known worldwide for his intricate works made of colorful tiles, Fuster has covered his house and an entire neighborhood in mosaic murals of cultural, historical, and whimsical designs. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter the often-barefoot artist on his house's glistening, multicolored patio, hard at work on his latest project. Visit a children's community project in Havana before returning to your casa to rest before dinner. Then, travel back in time by taking a tour in one of Havana’s classic American cars.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.

Travel Requirements For This Tour
Travel Documents
If you are a U.S. citizen, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck trip for entry into Cuba. You will also need a visa to enter Cuba, the nature of which is somewhat different than what many other countries require. The Cuban government requires all foreign visitors to have a Cuban visa, sometimes referred to as a "Tourist Card," for which there is no official application process. Cuban immigration officials will collect one half of this two-part card upon your arrival in the country, and the other half upon your departure. Tauck will obtain your Cuban visa, which will be given to you in Miami, along with the documents for your included charter flight from Miami to Havana.
In addition, other special documentation will be needed to complete the requirements for travel to Cuba; more details about this required documentation will be sent to you with your booking confirmation. Please review the details in the Instruction Sheet and Travel Affidavit . You must retain these documents for a period of at least five years.
Please Note: Because many of you are traveling as a U.S. citizen with Tauck on a People-to-People educational exchange travel itinerary operated under a license granted to Tauck by the United States Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), you are legally licensed and authorized to travel to Cuba. Before departing on your trip, we will give you a Letter of Authorization from Tauck stating that you have permission to travel under that license, to keep as part of your travel documents.
If you are a citizen of another country but legally reside in the U.S., you may travel on Tauck's People-to-People trip to Cuba as long as you have a valid passport from your country of citizenship, as well as a residency card or alien card (or "green card") to establish your legal U.S. residency when returning to the U.S. from Cuba upon your arrival in Miami.
If you are a Cuban-born U.S. citizen, your travel document requirements depend on when you originally departed Cuba. If you departed Cuba prior to December 31, 1970, you will require either a PE-11 visa (which can take from six to eight weeks to process, is valid for a one-time entry for 30 days, and expires within 90 days of issue) or a Cuban passport; the choice is yours. If you left Cuba after January 1, 1971, you will require a Cuban passport, which can take from three to four months to obtain. If you will need help in obtaining one of these documents, please let us know at the time of booking.
If you are a citizen of another country and do not legally reside in the U.S., you may travel on Tauck's People-to-People trip to Cuba as long as you have the proper documentation that allows you to enter the U.S. for the start of the trip and return to the U.S. at the end of the trip. A multi-entry U.S. visa is required.
A travel affidavit is also required for all travelers to Cuba, regardless of nationality. Please use this link to apply for your travel affidavit at least 75 days prior to your trip: https://cubatravelservices.com/tauck-travel-affidavit/
Because all guests on this tour (U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike) will be arriving into Cuba from the U.S., a Cuban visa is required of all travelers. Tauck will obtain your Cuban visa for you during your tour.
Please note that you will not be traveling to Cuba as a tourist. You will be traveling as part of the People-to-People educational exchange.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen. You must retain these documents for a period of at least five years.
TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.
Health Safety and Mobility
Our People-to-People cultural exchange activities in Cuba include visits to rural areas, agricultural facilities and small villages, as well as to various sections of Havana with centuries-old streets and buildings with limited access. You should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances over unpaved and uneven terrain. Both the Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove and the Meliá Habana are equipped with elevators. The road conditions in Cuba are improving; however, paved roads, especially in rural areas, are often in poor condition. Some roads to rural locations are not paved and some out-of-the-way destinations are accessible only by these roads; other roads may be unpaved and bumpy. Our People-to-People cultural exchange itinerary includes several early morning starts and leaves little scheduled free time.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.
Travelers should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one traveler. Travelers requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. While drinking water is generally safe at the hotels on the journey, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on your motor coach.
The only hotel on this trip that allows smoking is the Meliá Habana in Havana.
Airline Disinsection
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a guidance letter that requires airlines and travel agents to disclose to consumers countries that require the use of insecticides by airlines. Please click here for more information.
SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS
The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.

Cuba Tours & Travel Guide
Cuba Attractions & Landmarks Guide
Long closed to most U.S. travelers, Cuba is now subject to fewer travel restrictions, and Americans are discovering what the rest of the world has known for years: the island nation 90 miles south of Florida has friendly people, a vibrant culture, beautiful beaches, and 1950's-era cars that still run. No matter the politics, Cuba and its people are sure to leave a lasting impression on you.
Visiting Cuba is like entering a time warp. Because of longtime Cuban government restrictions placed on the purchase of imported cars, many Cubans have had to ingeniously make do with American cars dating from the 1950s and early 1960s.
Replacement parts are scarce but clever mechanics have found ways to keep them running. Hence a trip to Cuba is much like watching a classic car rally, except that these classic cars are in full use as taxis and private vehicles.
The time warp continues in the aging houses and mansions you encounter on a guided Cuba tour in Old Havana , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and probably the best preserved city center in the Caribbean . Many have Spanish-style balconies, arcades, wrought-iron gates and internal courtyards. Some appear to be on life support but remain standing, much as the classic cars keep running.
Visiting Cuba Today
Cuba is experiencing a surge in interest due to the recent restoration of diplomatic relations between the US and Cuban governments. This beautiful and elusive country is now more accessible to one of its closest neighbors and American travelers are itching to visit.
There are still some travel restrictions in place for US citizens however. As relaxing as it might sound, it's still technically illegal for Americans to travel to Cuba to laze on the beach, mojito in hand.
However, the OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) does permit American travel to Cuba, provided it fits within 1 of 12 general categories. One of the most popular of these is 'educational activities' and tour operators have long led 'people to people' tours, which include activities like visiting with local musicians, farmers, and artisans. This is how the majority of American citizens have legally traveled to Cuba for the past few years.
More recently, travel regulations were further relaxed, giving tour operators even more flexibility with the types of itineraries they run in Cuba. This means virtually any tour in Cuba is legal for American travelers, but always check direct with the tour operator first.
Options for Cuba travel include primarily guided tours in Cuba . T aking a tour is one of the best ways to have an authentic experience in this rich and diverse country. Taking a tour doesn't mean being stuck in a large group on a coach bus either. Some companies limit their groups to 10-15 like-minded travelers to provide an intimate, accessible experience.
Why Consider a Tour In Cuba?
Although traveling to Cuba independently is now possible, it’s still wise to consider a tour . Due to the increased demand, hotel rooms in popular cities like Havana and Trinidad are hard to come by. This means that unless you plan many months in advance, you might be relegated to a less than desirable hotel that isn’t centrally located. Cuba tour operators , on the other hand, purchase rooms in bulk up to a year in advance, so you are guaranteed a room in some of the country’s most famous and beautiful accommodations.
The infrastructure in Cuba, specifically the road and transportation network, are still quite basic and developing. It can be hard to get around from city to city and all of the signs are in Spanish. Speaking of language barriers, it’s a challenge to find many English speakers outside of hotels and major tourist attractions.
On a tour, you’ll hit the major tourist sites, such as El Floridita (where Hemingway himself used to drink) but you’ll also have a chance to meet local artists and business people - all who can offer unique glimpses into the current affairs of this fascinating country. Tour guides can often show you a side of Cuba that you’d otherwise miss if traveling independently.
Must See Cuban Cities
Tours in Cuba often begin in Havana , with the most direct flights from Miami and other US cities. However, it is recommended to explore beyond the famous capital city, venturing farther afield to places like Vinales Valley, Trinidad, and Santa Clara. These ‘secondary’ cities have less tourists, but offer unique cultural and natural experiences that are not to be missed.
The small city of Vinales , and the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage Site Vinales Valley, lies a few hours to the west of Havana. If Havana is like stepping back to the 1950’s, it can be said that visiting Vinales harkens back even further to the 19th century.
This largely agricultural area, where crops such as coffee and tobacco are still grown following centuries old traditions, is an outdoor-lover’s paradise. The lush landscape is dotted with karsts which attract climbers and hikers alike. The region is also known for its music and arts scene, much like other parts of Cuba.

Trinidad & Topes de Collantes
The beautiful cobblestoned-street city of Trinidad lies in the southern part of the island, about a 6 hours drive on Cuba’s notoriously choppy roads. Yet another UNESCO World Heritage site, Trinidad has been beautifully preserved to its colonial charms. Artist galleries and restaurants with live music line the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking through an open door might reveal a couple of men playing dominos on a plastic table or a traditional pig roast in process.
Visit the Plaza Major to experience an open air colonial architecture museum and then check out live music next to the cathedral in the same location. Although accommodation is hard to come by, many Cuba tours make stops in Trinidad to take in its authenticity.
Trinidad also acts as a great jumping off point for Cuba adventures into Topes de Collantes , one of Cuba’s many national parks. Located about 12 miles from the city, Topes de Collantes lies in a mountainous region home to a plethora of flora and fauna, many endemic to Cuba.
Guided hikes are available around the park and are mostly mellow over well blazed trails. There are opportunities to hike with a local naturalist, who can point out local bird varieties. Other hikes end at picturesque waterfalls where a cool swim is inviting in the tropical heat. Topes de Collantes is most popular with local Cubans on vacation, although many tourists, especially Europeans, are starting to discover its charms.
Santa Clara
Santa Clara is located is close proximity to Havana, due east about 3 hours. It’s probably most famous for being the place where revolutionary fighter Che Guevara is buried, and thousands of tourists flock here to see his final resting place. This historic city is also where the final battle of the Cuban Revolution took place in 1958.
Two columns of revolutionary fighters attacked the city, one led by Che. After intense fighting, the city was captured, and hours later, General Batista, then leader of Cuba, left the country. Santa Clara is a tour highlight for history buffs and a common stopping point on the drive from Havana to Trinidad.
Music & Art in Cuba
There’s something about being in Cuba that brings out the dancer even in those who travel with two left feet. It’s no mystery: the music -- salsa, jazz, rumba, merengue, and other genres, often combined into a unique Afro-Cuban sound -- is both ubiquitous and irresistible. You’ll hear it in clubs, bars, restaurants, bodegas, or just emanating from the nearest homes.
In Havana, there is live music on many street corners, including outside most of the major hotels. If you desire something more formal and organized, the famous Cuban band The Buena Vista Social Club still performs most nights in a bar in Old Havana. While many of the original founders of the group have passed or are no longer playing, a few still remain.
Many tours include a night out to hear these legends of Cuban jazz and it’s well worth the relatively expensive cover charge. Many times, the musicians will hang around after the set and if your Spanish is decent, striking up a conversation could be one of the highlights of your trip.
Other opportunities to see live music include the rooftop bar of the Hotel Inglaterra, located near Parque Central, where a salsa or rumba ensemble plays most nights. There are also a number of dance clubs around Havana, including Casa de la Musica de Miramar, El Turquino, and Cabaret Parisien, which hosts an elaborate cabaret show, complete with flowered dancers.
Believe it or not, some of the most authentic music in Cuba can be heard while sitting outside having dinner at a paladares, or local restaurant, in Old Havana. Small groups of musicians will approach your table and give you a private concert, of course in exchange for a few pesos.
Many famous artists, such as Wifredo Lam, have come out of Cuba, however, many are still relatively unknown due to the isolation of the country for so many years. For authentic local Cuban art, a visit to the El Taller Experimental de Grafica is a must. This artist workshop, founded in 1962 with the support of infamous revolutionary Che Guevara, is still a thriving studio today. Inside, artists of all ages delicately create traditional prints using decades old techniques. Prints are for sale and you can discuss the pieces of art direct with the artist, which is a special experience.
Other top art galleries include Galeria Victor Manuel, Galeria Habana, and Fototeca de Cuba, which houses the country’s largest collection of photographs. Although many tours will only include a stop at the Museo de Nacional, most itineraries offer ample free time to explore these artistic havens on your own.
Art is also central to Cuban life, from Havana’s excellent National Museum of Fine Arts to street corner painters and much in between.
The Hemingway Legacy
You might be surprised to learn that American author Ernest Hemingway -- a longtime resident of Havana, where he wrote "The Old Man and the Sea" and "A Moveable Feast" among other works -- is still venerated in Cuba. His finca, where he lived just outside Havana throughout the 1940s and ‘50s, is maintained as a museum, and a popular stop on most tour itineraries .
Everything is kept the way he left it, except that a new set of cats (many of which have six toes, the progeny of Hemingway’s own fleet of stray cats), now curl up on his desk for naps. One of the most intimate glimpses into Hemingway’s sometimes lonely existence is apparent by the writing on the bathroom wall of his home. This is where he recorded his daily weight, in pencil. At some point in history, the writing was covered up, only to be discovered by museum curators years later while conducting restoration around the home.
You can also visit many of his old haunts around Havana such as El Floridita, said to be the birthplace of the daiquiri (one of Hemingway’s favorite libations) and La Bodeguita del Medio, which serves as a virtual Hemingway memorial (though still a working bar, with plenty of atmosphere). Both places can get very crowded with tourists and there are better drinks in town. However, it can be worth the stop for any literary buffs who’d like to sit side by side with Hemingway’s statue at the bar.
Another Hemingway haunt worth a visit is La Terraza Restaurant, located in the small fishing village of Cojimar, about 20 minutes from Havana. This is the very place depicted in his novel ‘Old Man and the Sea’ and the walls are adorned with black and white photos of the author himself, including many of him dining at La Terraza. It’s no surprise that Hemingway chose this seaside gem as a top spot in Cuba.
Best Beaches in Cuba
While Americans can’t go to Cuba just for a beach vacation yet, (if that's what you're after, consider the best travel packages to Costa Rica ) other nationalities can -- and if you’re in a position to visit one of the island’s 300-some sandy beaches, you may find yourself mostly alone despite the glorious settings.
Among Cuba’s finest beaches are the white-sand Playa Ancon (on the southern, Caribbean side of the island) and 12-mile-long, white-sand Varadero Beach, the best known beach in the country. Both offer crystal clear waters for swimming or snorkeling. Be warned though that if you are looking for seclusion, you won’t find it at Playa Ancon or Playa Varadero. Both are well-trodden with tourists and feature many all inclusive resorts.
Other top beaches include Playa Los Flamencos, located within Cayo Coco off Cuba’s north shore. There are three main beaches in this idyllic location, although Los Flamencos offers the most privacy and tranquility.
Playa Pilar was the choice beach of Ernest Hemingway himself. He spent so much time here that the beach was named after his yacht, the Pilar. This bit of sand on the western tip of Cayo Guillermo is probably one of the least popular beaches in the region, for now.
Playa Los Pinos is perhaps the most deserted beach in all of Cuba. Getting here requires an off-road ride that is not accessible by public transport. But for the intrepid beach goers who make the trip, the reward is a long white sand beach where your only companions might be a band of wild horses.
Playa Esmeralda is a good spot for those wanting a bit of understated luxury. This smaller beach features two luxury hotels that are tastefully situated as not to be an eyesore on the pristine beach environment. If you’re looking to relax and recharge for a few days, in style, this might be the place for you.
Food in Cuba
Cuban food is often thought of as beans and rice, which are indeed served at many meals and can be delicious, but there’s much more to it than that. The cuisine has Spanish, French, African, Chinese, Portuguese, and Arabic influences, along with Caribbean favorites such as fried plantains, similar to but different from bananas.
Stews and many other dishes use a base of sofrito (onion, green pepper, garlic, oregano) for flavoring; more contemporary cuisine includes Spanish-style tapas. Coffee is on the strong side and Cuban sandwiches -- ham, pork, pickle, cheese, and mustard on bread -- are among the world’s best. Besides regular restaurants, a number of private homes, called paladares, now serve as eateries offering authentic local cuisine.
This is great news for visitors as you not only get a fresh, delicious meal, but also the opportunity to catch a glimpse of local, everyday life. Tour companies have caught on and many now include at least one meal at some of the best paladares in Havana such as Doña Eutimia and Le Chansonnier. Just don’t expect a quick meal - Cubans take their time and you should to. Besides, what can beat sitting outside on a warm Havana night, sipping a mojito and eating freshly caught prawns tossed in garlic and pepper while waiting for your main dish of ropa vieja?
Vegetarians and pescatarians should have no trouble finding something to eat, although the former may need to get used to a steady diet of rice, beans, and salad for a few days. Seafood lovers, however, will found a bounty of diverse and fresh options from the surrounding waters.
Regardless of your diet or culinary preferences, you are sure to find something tasty and flavorful in Cuba as long as you are willing to be patient and explore some of the hidden gems in Havana and beyond.
Ultimately, the Cuban people themselves are the stars of any visit to the island. And the best way to meet them is by organized tour, featuring people-to-people encounters.
Travel to Cuba: Practicalities & Logistics
Capital city: Havana (population 2.2 million)
Dialing code: +53
Language: Spanish
Currency: CUC
Before you go
Visas are required for all American citizens traveling to Cuba. Most tour operators usually include this fee in the price of the trip, or have a separate visa fee that is paid once your trip is confirmed. Either way, it’s a good idea to book a Cuba trip with a tour company who will handle the visa logistics for you. UK citizens also must obtain a tourist card before traveling to Cuba.
Medical care in Cuba is quite good, with more doctors per capita than many other countries. However, you should always travel with insurance and many tour operators can recommend a plan to cover you while on your trip. Only routine vaccinations are required for Cuba, however, the CDC does recommend both Typhoid and Hepatitis A vaccinations for some travelers.
Cuba is generally very safe compared to other Central and South American countries. Police are everywhere, and especially apparent in high tourist locations. However, as when traveling in any foreign country, use common street sense and pay attention to your surroundings. This is especially true in Havana, Trinidad and other large cities. Crimes of opportunity, such as pick-pocketing, are not unheard of, but a little vigilance goes a long way, and traveling in a group can help deter any potential trouble.

Explore a labyrinth of cobblestone streets during a privately-guided walking tour of Havana’s city-center, La Habana Vieja. Founded in 1512, you’ll visit some of Old Havana’s most important sites: the Plaza de Armas, Plaza de San Francisco, Plaza de Cathedral, Plaza Vieja, and more.
BICITAXI TOUR OF EL CAPITOLIO
Not only will you be supporting an independent owner/driver – you'll travel like a local when you hop on board the Bicitaxi for a tour of El Capitolio! Completed in 1929 and fully restored in recent years, this building held Cuba's congress before the revolution in 1959. Your expert local guide will share their experiences as you learn about its construction, and history – and get a look inside the halls of limestone and granite.

FOREIGN-RELATIONS MEET & GREET
Join Camilo Garcia, a 20-year veteran of the Ministry of Foreign Relations for a conversation about Cuba’s modern-day diplomacy. With diplomatic experience in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands and United Nations, he has unparalleled insight into Cuba’s place in the world. Now working at an audiovisual production company and artistic events, he also has a background in cultural organizations and he will join us for a wide-ranging discussion of Cuba’s social, political and economic challenges.
FARMER’S MARKET
Visit a local farmers market, where you’ll get a first-hand look at Cuba’s agricultural revolution. In these bustling markets you’ll find only local food – almost always organic. This switch to natural farming came in the early 90s when oil and pesticide shortages forced Cuba to radically alter its agricultural economy. Today, the country is a model for the world, as other communities trend toward more sustainable farming methods.
COOKING CLASS
Break bread with new-found friends in an in-home cooking class followed by lunch at the home. Get tasteful insights into Cuban culture as you go hands-on and prepare a meal with locals. Laugh, share stories, and learn every step of authentic Cuban dishes. And finally, sit down to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Through her art, Yudit expresses the essence of her beloved country with passion and authenticity.
SAN ISIDRO DE LOS DESTILADEROS
Three interconnected valleys, covering one-hundred square miles, make up the Valley de los Ingenios. The surrounding fields were the center of sugar production during Spanish rule in the 18th and 19th centuries. But bright views and landmark ruins play contrast to the area’s dark history when over 30,000 slaves worked the fields. Wander through the ruins at San Isidro de Los Destiladerso, as we learn how nearby Trinidad amassed its wealth.
PRIVATE FARM VISIT
Nestled in the Sierra Escambry Mountains, visit a small, entrepreneurial farm to meet and support local farmers known as “guajiros”.

Founded in 1819 by French settlers from Bordeaux and Louisiana on the coast of South-central Cuba, Cienfuegos (literal translation “one hundred fires”) is the only Cuban city with an entirely distinct character and urban layout. Its unique architectural ensemble of neoclassical structures earned its distinction as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005.
ART IN YOUR HANDS
Let your imagination soar as you unlock the secrets of Cuba's artistic legacy! Visit the working studio of Art in Your Hands, a collaboration of artists who work in various mediums and styles. The artists in residence display their paintings, carvings, engravings and more, and you'll have the opportunity to shop their collection of on-sale items.
CRUISING IN PRE-1959 CLASSIC AMERICAN CAR
Through this unique experience, you become part of a narrative that embraces connection and understanding.

Who we like and support
Below are a list of organisations Locally Sourced Cuba tours feel are doing a great job in the travel industry. Some are partners, some are memberships and some are simply companies making a difference in the sector.
- International
- Mexico Cuba Vacation
Mexico-Cuba
Every country below the U.S.A. is a part of Latin America. Mexico has long been the cradle of ancient civilizations where both the Aztecs and the Maya people once thrived. Our trip to Mexico and Cuba covers the most vibrant places of the two countries. From the Mayan Culture of Mexico to the travel back in time feel of Havana, Cuba, your travel will bring you close to the real Latin Culture.
Arrival in Mexico City
We will arrive in Mexico City via Paris on an Air France flight. We'll check into our hotel in the Roma neighbourhood. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Mexico City
Ciudad de Mexico or as it is popularly known CDMX is the capital of Mexico and as we explore its various aspects today we will have an ideal introduction to the Mexican culture. We will start our day with a visit to the historic centre of CDMX with the Palacio Bellas Artes, which is in Zocalo, the main square of the city. Before we stop for lunch we would have visited some of the most important parts of the historic centre including the Templo Mayor Museum, where the Aztecs of ancient Mexico had their capital. Evening is free to walk around.
Mexico City – Teotihuacan – Frida Kahlo’s House
We will dig deeper into the Aztec era as we take a day trip to the impressive Teotihuacan Pyramids out of Mexico city. Our guide will help us understand the Aztec civilization better with the pyramids in view. Return back to the city late in the afternoon and visit the Blue House, where Frida Kahlo, the famous Mexican painter lived. We will end our day in a local restaurant with food and drinks.
Mexico - San Cristobal de las Chiapas
We will take the domestic flight to the city of Tuxla. On arrival, we'll head to the Sumidero Canyon, which is the deepest in Mexico. Taking a boat trip in the river is an unforgettable experience. Later, we will make photo stops on top of the Canyon to enjoy the scenery. We will then drive to San Cristobal, a unique mountain town in the state of Chiapas.
San Cristobal – Chamula - Local
In the morning we will visit the village of Chamula for its unique church which has a wonderful mix of Mayan and Catholic culture. The whole church has over thousand candles lit and kept on the floor. There is no place to sit other than on the dry pine grass on the floor. Even the town of Chamula is deep routed in Mayan traditions, where they believe that taking a picture of a local is like stealing his soul, so no pictures are allowed neither in the church or in the entire town. In the evening, enjoy walking in the old town, San Cristobal, which is perhaps the most colourful town in Mexico.
San Cristobal - Aqua Azul - Misol’ha - Palenque
After an early breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to this mountain town. We'll drive for three hours and enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way. We'll pause briefly at the turquoise waters, or Aqua Azul, before continuing on to the Misol'ha ('ha' in Mayan means water, and 'misol' means stream). Take advantage of the opportunity to wander behind the waterfall. Lunch would be simple and quick after which we will head to Palenque deep in the forest for an overnight stay.
Palenque - Campeche
The Mayan ruins of Palenque are not only famous for their architecture but also for their wild setting in the forest. Early in the morning as the fog rises and you are woken up by the call of the howler monkey and birds the ruins of Palenque would enchant you with their appeal. After visiting the ruins, we'll begin our journey to a town that appears as if it belongs in the 17th century. Campeche, is notable for its well-preserved baroque colonial architecture, and a walled historic quarter. We will reach Palenque in the evening and then take a walk in its charming old town including the sea front which opens up to the Carribean Sea.
Campeche – Merida
After an easy morning we will drive to the capital of the Yucatan Peninsula, Merida. The city also has an interesting town centre with a vibrant market. In the evening we will visit the museum of the Mayan civilization. Dinner and overnight in Merida.
Merida – Cenotes – Izamal (Yellow Town)
We will further explore the beautiful landscape of Yucatan with our first stop being the 3 Cenotes at Cuzama. The ancient Mayan people used the fresh water from these cave ponds of Yucatan as there is no river here. Each Cenote has clear water and if you wish to swim it would be a wonder experience. Later, we will drive to the yellow city of Izamal, where most of the houses are as the name suggests, painted yellow. Lunch would be in a very local restaurant. We will then proceed to drive back to Merida.
Merida – Las Colorados – Valladolid
We will check out and head towards the northern end of the Yucatan Peninsula where the Las Colorados national park is situated. Here the water turns pink due to the certain kind of Algae present in it. We will take our time experiencing this phenomenon and then head back south again to the town of Valladolid. Yet another charming town with a colonial vibe. In the evening enjoy a walk in its Latin quarter.
Valladolid – Chichinitza Pyramids – Cancun – Havana (Fly)
The morning is devoted to visiting the mighty Chichinitza pyramids. We will head there early to avoid the crowds. Our guide will explain the various facets of the Mayan culture in the times when they ruled the land and built structures like these. Later we will head to Cancun to board the flight to Havana, Cuba. On arrival proceed to the town centre for check in.
Havana City tour
In the morning after a leisurely breakfast we will enjoy full day tour of Havana covering the most important sights of the city. The museum of Revolution and the National Capital building are some of the most important sights of this city. In the afternoon we will enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. The evening would be touring the Malecon of Havana to experience the Caribbean sea.
Havana – Vinales – Havana
As we leave Havana behind and drive towards Vinales we will be seeing some of Cuba’s best countryside. Vinales is the home of the Cuban Cigar and amongst its tobacco plantations with lush green fields are the Mogotes. They are steep sided lime stone hills and their presence seems quite remarkable in the surrounding flats. After lunch in the plantation we will take a tour of a tobacco farm and learn how to roll a Cuban cigar. Return back to Havana in the evening.
Havana – Cancun
After an easy morning we will head to the airport to fly back to Cancun. After this short flight we will check into our hotel on the sea. Evening would be spent on the beach.
Cancun – Mumbai
Depart Cancun and fly back to Mumbai via Amsterdam.

With all of this on offer in one of the world’s best climates, what’s stopping you from checking out Cuba’s kaleidoscope of colour and charisma?

Culture and customs.
With Spanish , African and Creole influences, modern Cuba is home to so many cultural components – some of which don’t feel super ‘modern’ at all!
You won’t be surprised that Cubans love music and dancing – with everything from Afro-Cuban rhythms to classic melodies filling the air in clubs, bars, restaurants and on street corners. The modern arts are also alive here, with ballet, contemporary dance and film rising in popularity – so much so, Havana is now home to internationally recognised film, literature and music festivals.
Living in a Communist country means Cubans sometimes go without the luxury items that many Westerners take for granted, with certain foods and consumer goods not available. Despite this, events like birthdays, holidays and marriages are celebrated with gusto, with special meals, music and dance featuring. This love of life is also evident in the street parties, festivals and fiestas that are celebrated throughout the year. Coffee, cigars and rum flow freely, and people dance to the sound of trumpets and guitars in city streets.
Life in the cities and life in rural areas can be quite different, but the pace of living is consistently Cuban – you’re on local time now, so go with the flow.

History and government
Ancient history.
Before the arrival of the Spanish in 1492, Cuba was home to Mesoamerican cultures, including the indigenous Guanajatabey and Taino people. The Guanajatabey were hunter-gatherers and fishers, and Taino communities also harvested yuca, cotton and tobacco. Spanish colonialist Bartolome de las Casas estimated that Taino populations in Cuba had reached 350,000 by the end of the 15th century.
By then, Christopher Columbus had landed in Cuba and claimed the land for Spain, naming it Isla Juana. In 1511, Diego Velazquez de Cuellar founded Baracoa, the first Spanish settlement in Cuba, and three years later what’s now known as Havana was built.
20th century
In 1902, after periods under Spanish, British and United States rule and involvement in the Spanish–American war, Cuba got its independence. Despite the economy booming, leaders at this time ruled through corruption and control. This was until revolutionary Fidel Castro led a 9000-strong guerrilla army into Havana in 1959, forcing military dictator Fulgencio Batista to flee. Castro became the leader and his brother, Raul, his deputy. What followed was an attempt by the United States to overthrow Castro’s communist rule at the Bay of Pigs, and tension and trade embargoes following the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
Standing alongside Castro as an equally prominent political figure, Che Guevara (although Argentinean) holds a very important place in Cuban history. A revolutionary, author, doctor and military leader, Guevara played a pivotal role in the guerrilla campaign leading up to the Cuban Revolution and the defence of the Bay of Pigs, as well as in diplomatic relations, up until his death in 1967. It’s impossible not to notice the reverence for Guevara when visiting Cuba, with street art, statues and museums dedicated to the man Cubans simply call ‘El Che’ found all over the country.
In April 2011 Fidel Castro was succeeded as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba by his brother Raul Castro. Cuba’s political relationship with other countries, including its close neighbours, is ever-evolving, with the US recently beginning to ease restrictions on trade, tourism and other industries. But a snapshot of 50 years of isolation remains in the cars, architecture, and culture that is a contemporary Cuban street.
Learn about Cuba's fascinating past on our 15 day Best of Cuba adventure.
Eating and drinking
Cuba may not have culinary fame compared to some of its neighbours, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be missing out on some great food during your time here. Cuba typically doesn’t have access to a wide range of ingredients, so your dining experience may not be as varied as you’d expect from some other nearby destinations. Regardless, there are some Central American favourites that are definitely worth trying. Try out the local cuisine on our 8 day Cuba Highlights tour.
What to eat in Cuba
These small pastries can be either sweet or savoury. Cream cheese, guava and beef are the most popular fillings and make for a cheap, tasty meal on the run. Think empanadas, Cuban style.
Cuban sandwich Otherwise known as a mixto, this sandwich is a simple snack that has made its way north into Florida and has become one of the quintessential images of Cuban food beyond its borders. Ham, pork, cheese, mustard and sometimes salami layered between bread and grilled – what’s not to like?
Ropa vieja Not only is this one of the national dishes of Cuba, but it’s also found all over the Caribbean, in Spain and even the Philippines! It may literally translate to ‘old clothes’, but that’s definitely not what it tastes like – slow-cooked pulled beef with vegetables, usually served with maduros (fried plantains), black beans and rice.
Fritura de maiz These deep-fried cheese and cornmeal fritters are popular street food snacks in Cuba. A great choice for vegetarians; throw a couple of these back and you’ll be feeling the Cuban spirit.
Moros y cristianos
Rice and beans is not just rice and beans. Black beans and white rice are added to a base of peppers, garlic and onion and simmered with herbs, creating a flavourful addition to any meal and served up at virtually every Cuban restaurant you'll come across.
If you're feeling a little bit peckish and are on the go, seek out some tostones. These twice-fried plantain chips are very popular in a lot of Latin American countries and are an easy (and often cheap) snack.
Although flan is knon all around Central and South America as an essential dessert, Cuban flan has a slightly different spin. It's made with evaporated and sweetened condensed milk, giving it a thicker and creamier caramel custard finish than fresh milk varieties. Get ready for a seriously delicioys sugar high.
Coppelia ice cream Line up with locals to savour a sweet scoop from Coppelia ice cream parlour. This Cuban institution serves tried and true flavours like chocolate and vanilla as well as exotic favourites like mango and coconut.
What to drink in Cuba
Rum The tipple of choice in Cuba is rum, obviously. Savour some Havana Club straight up, have it mixed in a minty mojito or sip on a Cuba Libre – rum, cola and lime.
Coffee Cuban coffee is of legendary quality, so be sure to get your caffeine hit with a small but rich cup of liquid gold. Drink it like the locals do, as a cafecito or Cafe Cubano. This type of espresso-style coffee is usually sweetened with raw cane sugar and stirred in with the first drips of espresso to get the best result.
Geography and environment
This island nation sitting in the Caribbean Sea is home to a diverse range of environments: rolling hills to tobacco plantations, beaches and coral reefs to tropical rainforests. With more than 20% of the island covered with natural parks, there's incredible biodiversity, making it a great place for eco-adventures, hiking, snorkelling and diving.
Large cities like Havana evoke a time gone by. Grand buildings dating back to the 1950s exude a fading beauty, which makes for great photographs but can also make daily life quite difficult. Due to a lack of building materials, new housing and infrastructure are rare, making living conditions quite cramped for Cuban city-dwellers. Rural life offers more space and a quieter pace, but reduced access to services. Regardless of where you holiday in Cuba, the people are generally kind and hospitable in both the big cities and small towns.
Wander the magnificent landscapes, both natural and manmade, on our 8 day One Week in Cuba adventure.
Cuba may not be known for its shopping, but look closely and you’ll find lots of unique souvenirs to take home as a reminder of your holiday. Before heading home, check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to import some items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand, for example, have strict quarantine laws. The United States also has restrictions on the amount of tobacco and alcohol that can be brought back from Cuba.
What to buy
Art Cuba has a keen appreciation of the fine arts, so it’s not hard to find unique artworks by up-and-coming local artists being sold at galleries and markets. It also makes for a meaningful memento of your time away.
Cigars The cliche is unsurprisingly true – cigars are everywhere in Cuba. Be sure to buy cigars from authorised sellers, as fakes are common. Purchasing straight from the factory is usually best.
Coffee Cuban coffee is top quality, so stock up before you leave to enjoy a taste of Cuba in the comfort of your own home. Do check, however, if your country of origin allows plant-based materials to pass through quarantine.
Music With such a rich musical heritage, Cuba is a great place to pick up a hand-crafted instrument or, if travelling light, a CD or a local artist’s info to add to your playlist.
Do some serious souvenir shopping on our 9 day Premium Cuba tour.
Festivals and events
Havana international jazz festival.
Local and international artists head to Havana every January to become a part of the happening jazz scene. From the impressive Teatro Nacional de Cuba to the city streets, the sweet sounds of jazz fill the air of Havana for the duration of the festival.
Habanos Cigar Festival
In February, cigar connoisseurs gather to celebrate their love of the best cigar in the world – the Habano. With tastings, visits to plantations and factories, master classes and cigar-rolling contests on offer, this festival will intrigue curious travellers and delight cigar enthusiasts.
Santiago de Cuba Carnival
Watch this historic city come alive in July with street parades full of vibrant costumes, drums and dancing. This epic public celebrations date back to at least the 17th century and are held all around the country, but Santiago de Cuba hosts the biggest, brightest and most traditional of them all.

Cuba travel FAQs
Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.
Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
When is the best time to visit Cuba?
Cuba's subtropical climate is ideal for exploration, with most places catching the cool trade winds that blow in from the coast, providing pleasant year-round temperatures. June, July and August are usually the hottest months – the dry season runs from November to April and the wet season from May to October. Even in the rainy season, downpours are short and shouldn't impede travel plans. Tropical storms and hurricanes are more prevalent in September and October but rarely cause problems for travellers.
Do I need a visa to travel to Cuba?
Tourists of most nationalities require a 'Tourist Card' which is similar to a tourist visa. These can be obtained through travel agents in your home country, or directly from Cuban embassies and consulates. Depending on the airline you are travelling with to Cuba, you may also be able to purchase the tourist card at the airport from the airline on the day of your departure – please check with your airline for more information.
If you are a US citizen, American permanent resident, or hold any type of American Visa and are considering travelling to Cuba, please refer to the US Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs website – travel.state.gov – for the latest advice.
We recommend travelling to Cuba via Canada, Europe, and South or Central America. Travellers who have been to Cuba are ineligible to participate in the ESTA Visa Wavier Program and must apply for a tourist visa to enter or transit via the United States.
Remember to check the entry requirements for any destinations you will travel or transit through both to and from Cuba.
The page is for general information only and may be subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates.

Is tipping customary in Cuba?
As most Cubans live modest lifestyles, leaving a tip for good service is a great idea and welcomed.
There is almost always free entertainment in bars and restaurants; the musicians and singers are usually not paid by the venue, so we encourage you to tip when you have enjoyed the performance. Tour leaders, restaurant workers, hotel porters, cleaning staff and taxi drivers will appreciate a small sum – but be sure to tip in Cuban pesos as foreign currency isn’t easily exchanged in Cuba.
It’s important to carry around small denominations of currency to leave tips during your holiday, so you can tip an amount you feel comfortable with.
What is the internet access like in Cuba?
Internet access isn't widespread throughout Cuba, but availability is improving. The internet can sometimes be accessed from government departments and larger hotels, and main squares in many cities now have wi-fi accessibility. You will need to purchase an internet card from certain hotels and outlets to gain access in any location, including in public areas.
Please note that although connectivity is improving, the connection may still be slow, some websites may be censored, and the cost is typically quite high.
Can I use my mobile phone while in Cuba?
Your mobile phone may or may not work while in Cuba, depending on what type of phone you have. Before leaving your home country, ensure roaming is activated with your provider, but be aware that your phone may not get reception due to Cuba having the lowest mobile phone network penetration in Latin America.
If you intend to activate global roaming while in Cuba, be sure to check with your service provider to find out about any fees you may incur when using this option, as sometimes this can be expensive.
What are the toilets like in Cuba?
Public toilets are rare in Cuba, but western-style flushable toilets are available in hotels, bars and restaurants. Bringing your own toilet paper and hand soap or hand sanitiser is recommended as often these are not provided. Due to import restrictions, toilet seats can be considered a luxury and may be missing from some facilities.
What will it cost for a...?
Cuba's unit of currency is the peso (CUP). Here's what you can expect to pay for a:
- Can of soft drink or bottle of water = 1-2 CUP
- Cup of coffee = 1.50 CUP
- Cocktail = 2-5 CUP
- Meal in a nice restaurant = 120+ CUP
- One hour of wi-fi = 25 CUP
Can I drink the water in Cuba?
It's not advisable to drink water from the tap in Cuba. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable bottle or canteen with filtered water if you can – your group leader will provide larger and less disposable water containers for refills on private transport days when they have the resources available. It's also best to avoid ice in drinks and to peel fruit and vegetables rather than eating washed or unwashed produce.
Are credit cards widely accepted in Cuba?
Some credit cards are accepted in Cuba (Visa and Mastercard are usually more widely accepted), although some cards linked to US banking institutions won't be accepted. Debit cards (even Visa debit) generally have problems working. We recommend you bring multiple cards from different banks to be sure you have access to funds. Ensure you also have enough cash and other forms of payment, as credit card facilities may not always be available.
What is ATM access like in Cuba?
ATMs are accessible in large cities like Havana and Santiago de Cuba but are rare and almost non-existent in other parts of Cuba. Ensure you have other payment options available in case you cannot access an ATM while travelling.
What is the weather like in Cuba?
Cuba enjoys Caribbean vibes all year round, and sits below the Tropic of Cancer, so you’ll enjoy a tropical climate with north-easterly trade winds that blow year-round.
May to October is usually considered the wet season, with higher maximum temperatures each day (around 32°C) and more sunlight each day, averaging 10 hours. September and October is hurricane season in the region, and this time of year is usually hot and overcast, with a higher chance of rainfall.
November to April is usually the drier season in Cuba, with maximum temperatures sitting around 26°C, and an average of 8 hours of sunlight each day. The winter months are clearer, slightly more humid and more comfortable than summer.

Is Cuba safe for LGBTQIA+ travellers?
Cuba has made some significant steps in recent years to ensure LGBTQIA+ rights in the country. Homosexuality is legal and accepted in Cuba, and there are some anti-discrimination laws in place for employment, service provisions and gender identity. However, same-sex marriage recognition is still pending, and stigma still remains in some parts of society, especially in rural areas.
The Cuban National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX) works to support the LGBTQIA+ community in Cuba and hosts rallies to educate and advocate.
For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.
If you are travelling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travellers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Cuba accessible for travellers with disabilities?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
As Cuba has not had the same infrastructure development as other countries, you may find some mobility challenges when travelling. Havana’s streets are often crowded, and sidewalks can at times be rugged or even nonexistent. This is the same with other cities and towns around the country. Also, a lot of public transportation isn’t geared toward travellers who use a wheelchair, so private travel may be the only option to get around.
If you do live with a visual, hearing or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling?
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance
How do I stay safe and healthy while travelling?
Intrepid takes the health and safety of its travellers seriously and takes every measure to ensure that trips are safe, fun and enjoyable for everyone. We recommend that all travellers check with their government or national travel advisory organisation for the latest information before departure:
