Descubre la rica historia, arte y tradiciones de Cuba
Cuba is an island in the Caribbean with palpable revolutionary history, colorful Spanish colonial architecture, white sand beaches, and a vibrant culture marked by music and dance.
One of the most iconic experiences in Cuba. Strolling along the Malecón or Paseo del Prado in a convertible "almendrón" (as locals call these cars) from the 1950s is the perfect way to admire the city's architecture and feel like you're part of a movie.
Enter the Pinar del Río region to learn first-hand about the cultivation and production process of the famous Cuban cigars. A local farmer will show you how the leaves are dried and how a cigar is rolled by hand, a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
Music is the heart of Cuba. Whether in Havana or Trinidad, visiting a House of Music at night will immerse you in the local festive atmosphere. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to dance, the energy is contagious and there will always be someone willing to teach you the basic steps.
The best way to get to know the authentic Cuba is to stay in a private house. Living with a Cuban family will allow you to learn about their daily life, enjoy delicious homemade food and receive the best advice on what to do and see, directly supporting the local economy.
Traveling to Trinidad is like entering an open-air museum. Its cobbled streets, pastel-colored houses and colonial squares transport you to another era. Climb the Palacio Cantero tower for a panoramic view of the city and the red roofs.
In Trinidad, you cannot miss trying Canchánchara, a traditional drink based on brandy, honey and lemon that the mambises (fighters for independence) drank to warm up. It is served in a clay glass and is the perfect cocktail to enjoy local music.

Ver guía completaThe official currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP). It is recommended to carry euros or Canadian dollars in cash to exchange, as the US dollar may have a tax. The exchange must be made in banks or official exchange houses (CADECA). Many tourist services and paladares accept direct payments in euros. Credit cards (not issued by US banks) are accepted in large hotels, but it is essential to bring cash.
Tipping is a very important part of the income of workers in the service sector and is a very widespread custom. A tip of around 10% is expected in restaurants and bars. It is also customary to tip tour guides, musicians, hotel staff, and valets.
For long distances, the most common option is the tourist bus from the Viazul company. Collective taxis (almendrones that cover fixed routes) are an economical option to move within cities. Renting a private car with driver or a taxi for trips between cities is also a popular and efficient option, although more expensive.
