Regla Culture & Religion Tour
Description
This excursion includes a journey across Havana Bay to immerse yourself in the essence of Regla, a locale vital to Afro-Cuban heritage and spirituality.
Regla Culture & Religion Journey
Your adventure begins with a pickup from the Hotel Inglaterra, followed by a transfer to the Puerto de la Luz, where you will board the Lanchita de Regla ferry. Experience a lively 10-minute ride alongside locals as we traverse the harbour to reach the vibrant town of Regla.
A brief two-minute stroll from the ferry terminal leads you to the renowned Nuestra Señora de Regla Church. Although its facade might seem unassuming, this church holds a significant place in history, devoted to the Virgin of Regla. Revered both in Catholicism and the Yoruba faith known as Santería in Cuba, the black Madonna draws attention. You will encounter numerous santera women nearby, offering palm readings and engaging in rituals for good fortune.
Your visit continues with a ride in a classic 1950s automobile to the iconic Christ of Havana. Perched on a hill, this site grants us stunning panoramic views of the bay below.
After completing the exploration of Regla, we will return you to your initial departure point, with the entire excursion lasting between 4.5 to 5.5 hours.
