Next, we relax on Playa Larga beach and visit the Cave of the Fishes (Cueva de los Peces).

A day of active rest and full immersion in nature.

Overnight in Trinidad.

After breakfast, we embark on a walking tour of Trinidad’s historic center, a UNESCO site. Founded in 1514 by conquistador Diego Velázquez, the city is considered an “open-air museum” thanks to its 18th–19th century architecture: Catholic churches, mansions, and cobblestone streets recreating the atmosphere of a typical Spanish town.

We will stroll through cobblestone streets, visit the main museums, and stop at a pottery workshop where artisans still use traditional methods passed down through generations.

After lunch, we relax at Playa Ancón — one of the most beautiful beaches on Cuba’s southern coast, with white sand and the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Next, we visit the elegant DuPont mansion, constructed by the French magnate in the 1930s: luxurious halls, terraces overlooking the ocean, and a garden with century-old trees still preserve the spirit of that era. In the evening, we finally enjoy the legendary Varadero beach.

Overnight in Varadero.

Today we visit Saturno Cave, with its crystal-clear waters and stalactites.
