Cuba, blending the enchanting spirit of Latin America with its revolutionary past, invites you on an unforgettable journey through streets where time stands still. Starting from the colorful colonial houses of Trinidad, you will breathe in the elegant atmosphere of Cienfuegos' French-inspired streets and follow the trail of Che Guevara in Santa Clara. On this route that shapes Cuba's history, each city tells its own story: freedom, resistance, and a passion for life.
At the heart of the tour is the capital, Havana; a city that will captivate you with its vintage American cars, salsa rhythms, and revolutionary murals. While resting on the beaches of Varadero in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, you will connect with the warm people of Cuba and its rich culture. The "Full Experience Cuba Tour" is not just a vacation; it offers an unforgettable exploration woven with culture, history, and emotions.

In Cuba, it is the practice for locals to rent out their homes by meeting the standards set by the government.
