Havana Trip
Your adventure begins with a pickup at your hotel in Varadero, followed by a scenic drive to Havana. Upon arrival, you'll be captivated by the colonial charm of the city, complete with classic 1940s Cadillacs gliding through its inviting streets.
We start our exploration in the Historical Center of Havana, where you will see the harbor and the majestic Morro Castle, a formidable Spanish fortification that once guarded the city from marauding pirates. Strolling through the cobblestone paths of Old Havana, you will pass notable sites such as the City Museum and the Model of Havana. You'll have the opportunity to take a break and explore the vibrant markets or step into some of the local haunts frequented by Ernest Hemingway during the early 20th century.
Next, enjoy a pause to relish a delightful traditional meal that showcases the flavors of Cuban cuisine. Refreshed, we will continue our journey across Havana, arriving at the spectacular neoclassical El Capitolio, which draws inspiration from both the Pantheon in Paris and the Capitol in Washington, standing as a majestic feature in the cityscape.
We'll also examine the exterior of several significant attractions in the vicinity: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of the Revolution, and the Grand Theatre. Accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide, you will learn about Cuba's storied past, encompassing its establishment in the 16th century through to the transformative years following the Revolution.
The tour further includes a visit to contemporary Havana, where fashionable neighborhoods line the picturesque Malecón esplanade. As we take in the stunning waterfront views, we will visit the significant Plaza de la Revolución, home to the striking giant portrait of Che Guevara crafted by artist Enrique Ávila, alongside the towering Monument to José Martí, the tallest edifice in the city.
Upon the conclusion of this enriching guided experience, we will transport you back to your hotel in Varadero.
