PANORAMIC CIENFUEGOS CITY TOUR

Cienfuegos is the only city in the country founded by French settlers, many of them from Louisiana. It's an easy-going place, noticeably cleaner and more spacious than the average provincial capital and deserving of its label as the 'Pearl of the South'. Its most alluring feature is its bayside location on the Bahía de Jagua, also known as the Bahía de Cienfuegos, which provides pleasant offshore breezes and some sleepy views across the usually undisturbed water.

You will spend half a day unveiling the secrets of Cienfuegos city and enjoy a panoramic tour through the National Monument (La Punta), El Palacio de Valle and El Paseo del Prado. Stroll along the boulevard to visit the monument to one of Cuba's most treasured musicians, Beny Moré. Make the most of your time in the city's heart by visiting the Cathedral as well as the Thomas Terry Theatre, one of Cuba's oldest and most beautiful theatres.

SPECIAL TRINIDAD WITH SUGAR MILL VALLEY

Duration: 5 HRS Departure Time: 09:00 HRS Notes: Lunch, transportation and guide service

Founded by Spanish colonizer Diego Velasquez as the third settlement of the island, the colonial gem of Trinidad is nowadays one of the best preserved towns of the Caribbean and the second in Cuba to earn a UNESCO listing after Havana. After Hernan Cortes set sail from here to discover Mexico, the city became incredibly wealthy through the sugar trade and the exploitation of slave labor in the cane sugar mills of the Valle de los Ingenios. Much of the heritage remains visible today and can be explored in and around the colorful cobblestone streets of Trinidad.

Trinidad is the best preserved colonial town in Cuba and the Valle de los Ingenios is a living museum of the former sugar trade of the 18th and 19th century. This UNESCO site is located at the southwestern coast of Cuba, in the Sancti Spiritus province, in the center of the island. Originally founded in 1514 by Diego Velazquez, most buildings in Trinidad date from the time of the sugar trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. The UNESCO inscription happened in 1988.

You will be the protagonist of a spectacular journey to UNESCO World Heritage Sites Valle de los Ingenios and Trinidad. You will climb to the top of the Manaca-Iznaga tower and rejoice with the jaw-dropping landscape. Continue to Trinidad for lunch at a local restaurant and afterwards, wander through the historical centre of the city to admire its remarkable colonial architecture. Stroll through La Plaza Mayor; visit the Romantic Museum and stop at La Canchanchara bar and a ceramic workshop.
