Gibara Day Trip

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Guardalavaca at the arranged time. In a brief hour, you will arrive at Gibara, affectionately referred to as the white village.

The first landmark that greets us is the notable fort known as Bateria Fernando VII. Built in 1817, this fortress was established to shield the inhabitants from pirate incursions. Take a moment to appreciate the fort's whitewashed exterior, a testament to Cuba's rich colonial history.

Next, we proceed to the historical center, where we'll explore the Natural History Museum located in the Plaza de Armas. Here, fascinating insights into the region's geology, botany, and ornithology await. Be sure to observe the impressive skeletal remains of both a pilot whale and a sperm whale.

Now it’s time to capture the moment! We will stroll over to the renowned viewpoint of Gibara, where breathtaking vistas of the city and the Atlantic Ocean unfold before us. Our journey continues with a visit to the Panadero Cave, a space filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites, alongside intriguing names of bakers inscribed on its walls.

After our explorations, we’ll return to the historic town of Gibara, where a refreshing cocktail and a traditional lunch await you. Delight in a variety of options, including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood dishes.

The experience wraps up with a drop-off back at your hotel, approximately 8 hours after we set out.
