Gibara Day Trip

Embark on a journey to one of the historical locations visited by Christopher Columbus during his notable expedition with this Gibara Day Trip from Guardalavaca, where the charm of its colonial architecture will captivate you!

Gibara Day Trip

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Guardalavaca at the designated time, setting off towards Gibara, affectionately known as the white village. The drive will take approximately one hour.

Upon arrival, the first sight to greet us will be the formidable Batería Fernando VII. Constructed in 1817, this fortification was built to safeguard residents from pirate incursions. Observe its bright white walls, which provide a glimpse into Cuba's rich colonial history.

Next, we will head to the town’s historic center to explore the Natural History Museum, located in Plaza de Armas. Here, we will delve into the unique aspects of the region's geology, botany, and ornithology. You will also have the chance to view the skeletons of both a pilot whale and a sperm whale.

Be sure to have your camera ready as we stroll to the renowned viewpoint of Gibara, where we will take in breathtaking views of the cityscape and the Atlantic Ocean. Our subsequent destination will enchant those intrigued by caves and secrets—the Panadero Cave, featuring countless stalactites and stalagmites, along with numerous names of bakers etched into the walls.

To recharge, we’ll return to Gibara’s lively old town to savor a delicious cocktail and a traditional lunch. You can choose from an array of options, including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood dishes. Enjoy your meal!

This enriching experience concludes with a return transfer to your hotel about 8 hours after we set out.
