HAVANA, TRINIDAD & SANTA MARIA KEY
9 DAYS OF DISCOVERING CUBA
​
HAVANA
In this historic seaport, long known as the Key to the New World, classic American cars clatter along streets lined with Spanish architecture and pulsating with African and Caribbean rhythms. Old Havana’s Baroque facades, massive-columned palaces, and lush patios whisper tales of Cuba’s colonial past. Everywhere, Spanish, African, Caribbean, and American flavors boil in a dynamic and sensual brew.
TRINIDAD
The architectural and patrimonial conservation of Trinidad, in the south-central province of Sancti Spiritus, shows the visitor a city frozen in time, where centuries of colonial architecture are expressed in its homes, streets, plazas and squares. For these reasons the city was declared, along with the nearby Valley of the Sugar Mills, World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. In its domains it is possible to enjoy beaches, hiking and a contact with Cuban ancient and modern history.
SANTA MARIA KEY
Cayo Santa María is an island off Cuba’s north central coast in the Jardines del Rey archipelago. The island is linked by road and bridge to the town of Caibarién on the main island. Cayo Santa María is well known for its white sand beaches and luxury all inclusive resorts.
