A Taste
of Cuba
Nine days from Havana through the west and south—biosphere reserves, tobacco country, Zapata’s beaches, the Pearl of the South, Trinidad’s cobblestones, and Che’s Santa Clara before you return to the capital.
Havana
Cuba’s vibrant capital is a living museum where vintage cars roll past pastel-colored colonial buildings. Travelers are drawn to its electric energy, legendary nightlife, and the historic charm of Old Havana.
Las Terrazas · Soroa
Las Terrazas: This pioneering eco-village is a lush paradise for nature lovers and sustainable-travel enthusiasts. Visitors flock here to zip-line through the canopy, swim in refreshing river pools, and explore a thriving community of local artists. Soroa: Known as the "Rainbow of Cuba," this tropical oasis boasts a spectacular orchid garden and a stunning jungle waterfall. It is the perfect serene getaway for birdwatchers, hikers, and anyone looking to unwind in nature.
Viñales
Famous for its dramatic limestone hills called mogotes and lush tobacco fields, this valley offers some of Cuba's most iconic landscapes. Travelers come here to horseback ride through the countryside and learn the secrets of rolling authentic Cuban cigars.
Bay of Pigs
Beyond its famous Cold War history, this area is a dream destination for divers and world-class birdwatchers due to its incredible biodiversity. Nature enthusiasts flock here to spot the Bee Hummingbird (the world's smallest bird) and other rare species in the massive Zapata Swamp.
Cienfuegos
Known as the "Pearl of the South," this city charms visitors with its elegant French-influenced architecture and stunning bayside setting. Its relaxed vibe and beautiful botanical garden make it a highly cultured yet laid-back stop.
Santa Clara
This city is the ultimate pilgrimage site for history buffs, famous as the location of the final battle of the Cuban Revolution. Travelers come to visit the Che Guevara Mausoleum and soak up the energetic, youthful vibe driven by its large university population.
Trinidad
This UNESCO World Heritage site is a perfectly preserved Spanish colonial town complete with cobblestone streets and brightly colored mansions. It offers the perfect mix of historical exploration, lively salsa music, and easy access to both the mountains and the beach.

Excellent time in Cuba
We had a great experience with our Cuba 360 Bella Cuba tour. Daynel, our guide, was top-notch. For our week-long stay, we were drawn toward all the positive reviews, and they do not exaggerate...

Far More Than Expected!
My wife and I went on a ... Taste of Cuba Tour, covering the west half of the country... We covered all the natural, historic, cultural, and gastronomic attractions in the area. We had a great guide in Beberli ... I highly recommend this tour, especially if Beberli is the tour guide!
