offers you an authentic picture of rural Cuba against the backdrop of a historic port town with colonial architecture. This charming town just five hours drive from Havana is UNESCO preserved.

Trinidad is surrounded by mountains and green landscapes, including valleys containing the well-preserved remnants of ancient sugar mills. The region holds the Escambray Mountain Range, which treasures one of the country's most varied vegetation, ranging from arboreal ferns and wild orchids to pine forests, and a unique endemic fauna. One of the first villages founded by the Spanish conquistadors in Cuba, Trinidad also boasts big caves, where many pieces of evidence have been found about the city's history and the country's first inhabitants. There are great beaches 8km from Trinidad town and in addition to white sands and crystal blue waters, these beaches offer fantastic scuba diving.
