Havana Exploration
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Varadero, followed by a scenic trip to Havana. Upon arrival, you will be drawn in by the capital's alluring colonial avenues, where vintage 1940s Cadillacs gracefully pave the way.
Our first stop is the Historical Center of Havana, where you'll admire the waterfront and the majestic Morro Castle, a powerful Spanish fortification built to defend the city from pirates. Next, we will stroll across the cobblestone paths of Old Havana, passing notable sites such as the City Museum and the Model of Havana. You'll have some time to explore local markets or visit bars renowned for being frequented by Ernest Hemingway during the early 20th century.
After soaking in the culture, we'll pause to savor a delightful traditional Cuban meal. Refreshed and ready, we continue our exploration of Havana, arriving at the stunning neoclassical El Capitolio, reminiscent of the Pantheon in Paris and the Capitol in Washington, which proudly graces the city's skyline.
We will take in the exteriors of key attractions in the vicinity, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of the Revolution, and the Grand Theatre. Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable guide will share captivating stories about Cuba's history, tracing its roots from the 16th century into the post-Revolution era.
The journey also includes a glimpse of contemporary Havana, showcasing its trendy districts that overlook the acclaimed Malecón esplanade. As we depart from the stunning waterfront views, our next stop will be the Plaza de la Revolución, home to the iconic giant portrait of Che Guevara, crafted by artist Enrique Ávila. Here, we will also appreciate the strikingly elegant Monument to José Martí, the tallest edifice in the city.
At the conclusion of this guided experience, we will return you to your hotel in Varadero.
