Itinerary
Day 1: Havana
Day 2: Havana/Viñales
Viñales is in the Pinar del Rio province and located in a fertile valley surrounded by the unusual mogotes, or limestone pincushion hills. Arguably one of the prettiest natural areas in Cuba, we have many opportunities here to enjoy the area, whether it be hiking or simply sitting back and enjoying the view.
Day 3: Viñales
Arguably one of the prettiest natural areas in Cuba, take the chance to explore the area, or simply sit back and enjoying the view.
Day 4: Viñales/Playa Larga
Day 5: Playa Larga/Remedios
Day 6: Remedios/Bayamo
Day 7: Bayamo/Baracoa
The area offers everything from beaches, to hiking opportunities and museums. The best way to get around the town, situated on the bay with mountains towering in the background, is on foot, and there is plenty of time to see it all. Wander the Malecon coastal path and visit the fort built to defend the city from pirates.
Day 8: Baracoa
Take some time to visit the city then head further afield to the mountains or visit the striking black sand beaches. Playa Maguana and the smaller Playa Nava are both nearby and accessible by bike or taxi. Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt is approximately 40 km outside of town and well worth a visit.
Day 9: Baracoa/Santiago de Cuba
Day 10: Santiago de Cuba
Day 11: Santiago de Cuba/Sierra Maestra
Day 12: Sierra Maestra/Camagüey
Day 13: Camagüey/Trinidad
Day 14: Trinidad
For outdoor enthusiasts, Trinidad is a haven for activities. If a beach is in the cards, try snorkelling or diving in nearby Playa Ancón. Enjoy a local meal together with one of the host families.
Day 15: Trinidad/Havana
Day 16: Havana

I had an amazing first trip with G Adventures, it was the experience of a lifetime experiencing so much of Cuba',s culture, let by the most incredible guide Pablo
12/03/2023
Can't fault the trip, it has been amazing in every aspect. Have done a lot of solo travel but this just takes the stress out of organizing everything yourself and think you would otherwise struggle to get around as easily in Cuba compared to other places. Not only that but having a local guide to real imbed yourself in the culture and have the best recommendations, as well as meeting lots of like-minded people in your group - will most definitely be doing another G Adventures tour!

Our guide Emilio did an excellent job. The tour was well organized and it was always important to him that everyone felt comfortable. He gave us a valuable insight into Cuban history, culture and society. You could clearly see that it was not only a job for him, but also a matter close to his heart to give us these insights
09/03/2023
Our CEO Emilio took excellent care of us in an unfamiliar country which is very different to the rest of the world. He set expectations well, helped us when we needed it and shared his experiences with us.
