  • Day 1 Arrive in Havana: Arrive at any time. We check into our hotel and have the rest of the day at leisure to explore this magnificent city. We can see La Habana Vieja - The Old City - with its colonial buildings, or the Plaza de la Revolucion and its iconic mural of Che Guevara. Stroll along El Malecon and watch the ocean lash against the sea wall as locals dive, swim and fish. This evening we will gather for dinner.
  • Day 2 & 3 Viñales: This morning we travel to the small town of Viñales, one of the prettiest natural areas in Cuba. Here we have opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, or simply sitting back and enjoying the view. We will also visit a cigar factory, to see how the famous Cuban cigars are made.
  • Day 4 & 5 Maria La Gorda: Today we travel to the isolated and serene María La Gorda in western Cuba, a place filled with legends of pirates and buried treasure. On the way we can stop at the world-famous Robaina Tobacco Plantation. From Maria La Gorda we will visit Cabo San Antonio, a protected area famous for its sea turtles, and spend time on the beach named for a legendary Venezuelan beauty who was marooned here by pirates.
  • Day 6 & 7 Soroa: On our return to Havana, we stop at the lush mountain resort of Soroa just off the Carretera Central. Known as the “rainbow of Cuba,” the area receives a lot of rainfall resulting in the growth of tall trees and orchids. Here we can visit nearby coffee plantations, waterfalls and hot springs. We arrive back in Havana with time to enjoy one last night out and perhaps one last dance in Havana with the group.
  • Day 8 Depart Havana: We are free to leave Havana at any time today.
