Vintage cars, salsa in the streets, hand-rolled cigars, and Caribbean beaches—this 8-day itinerary delivers the heart of Cuba. Explore colonial Havana, ride through Viñales’ emerald valleys, then unwind on Varadero’s white sands. A perfectly balanced mix of culture, nature, and beach time.
Cuba isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling.
From the moment you arrive, the city hums with music, coffee aromas, and timeless architecture. Your trip begins in Havana, where you’ll explore the UNESCO-listed Old Havana and the Malecón promenade at sunset.
Next comes Viñales Valley: tobacco farms, dramatic limestone hills, and a slower rhythm of life. Enjoy countryside experiences and learn the craft behind Cuba’s most famous export.
Then it’s off to Varadero—crystal water, bright reefs, and wide stretches of sand. Wrap up with time to relax, recharge, and soak up the Caribbean.
Eight days. Big memories. Cuba, in full color.
