Cuba Pure

In the morning we continue to "Cienaga de Zapata", translated it means something like Zapata's swamp and is another UNESCO biosphere reserve and at the same time the largest swamp in the entire Caribbean. The day is at your leisure and you can optionally book a tour guide for a full-day excursion. You will learn about the Soplillar coal miners and Fidel's amazing work in the area. You will visit Hondones, where you will be shown the agro-technical advances of its inhabitants and where you can have lunch. Afterwards, take a walk along the "Enima de las Rocas" path with its strange rock formations. There you can then take a refreshing bath in the cenote at the end of the day. Overnight at Villa Playa Larga Hotel.

In the early morning we continue after breakfast. After about 2 hours drive you reach Cienfuegos. There is enough time to explore the city. Continue to Trinidad and overnight in a casa particular.

Today, after breakfast, one of the most beautiful cities in Cuba awaits. Trinidad was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. The city was founded in 1514 by Diego Velázquez as the third city on the island in the name of the Spanish crown. You will be able to see this long history in many places during the tour. You can see the great colonial past above all in the buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Stroll the cobbled streets and take in the architecture of the many beautifully renovated buildings, majestic churches and enchanting gardens. Some of the old villas have been converted into museums such as the Palacio Cantero (City Museum) and Palacio Brunet (Romantic Museum). You will visit the Plaza Mayor and the Church of the Holy Trinity with the famous cross El Señor de la Vera Cruz as well as the small Plazuela del Jigüe where the first Catholic mass of the city was celebrated in 1514. We recommend you try the popular cocktail of the same name at the Canchánchara Bar (not included). But first, visit the Casa de la Cultura Julio Cuevas Díaz, an art school run by the Ministry of Culture to promote music, plastic arts, literature and dance. A perfect place for a fancy souvenir. In the afternoon you should go to Ancón Beach, 15 km away. This is considered to be the most beautiful beach in Cuba.

After breakfast, embark on an excursion full of tropical vegetation and waterfalls. The Topes de Collantes National Park is very close to Trinidad. The hiker's paradise near the coast line is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Cuba. It offers sweeping views, wild jungle scenery and glimpses of tropical ecosystems. There is a lot to discover on foot: Ancient and huge trees, ferns that reach into the sky, hidden mountain caves and picturesque waterfalls that invite you to swim with their natural pools.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, head north towards Varadero. On the way you will pass Torre de Manaca and also Santa Clara, where the remains of "Che" Guevara rest.
