Experience Overview
For too many people, Cuba is nothing more than a beach resort. That’s crazy; the island practically buzzes with energy and you should do likewise — get moving.
For too many people, Cuba is nothing more than a beach resort. That’s crazy; the island practically buzzes with energy and you should do likewise — get moving. Journey through the culture-soaked streets of Trinidad and Old Havana for your fill of drinking and dancing. The music here pours out of open windows. Hit the beach and explore the outdoors, then connect with the locals in homestays and make friends for life as you hit the sites with other young people like yourself. Boring? Impossible!
Highlights
- Mingle with the locals at homestays
- Sample local rum and cigars
- Connect to salsa culture on the dance floor
- Explore colonial Havana's alleyways
- Laze under the Caribbean sun.

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
Day 4: Viñales/Playa Larga
Day 5: Playa Larga/Trinidad
Trinidad is a haven for anyone interested in outdoor activities. If a beach sounds like what you're looking for, try snorkelling or diving in nearby Playa Ancón, just 12 km (7.5 miles) from town.
Day 6: Trinidad
Day 7: Trinidad/Havana
Day 8: Havana

The tour was good and our guide was also friendly but what I and others were missing are crucial information about the region, such as the crazy inflation and that you basically have to trade your money in the streets. I didn't directly booked at gadvantures but the information shared is similar. Especially how much money in cash you should bring was a critical point for some and me. On top, most of us had wished for an additional day at the bay of pigs where we can have a beach day. In the end it was just one late afternoon which was pretty sad. Also the host there was very rude and the breakfast was kinda a joke compared to the others. As an adult you get one slice if toast without any topics but butter, 1/3 of an egg and small pancakes. I think there were also a few fruits at the beginning but this isn't even close to be enough for one person. Also he had a crazy high exchange rate for euros and dollars. 200 is average, in the cities you have to deal with 230-250, and that guy took 260. Would recommend to give that guy feedback and switch places if necessary

If I could give higher than a 10, I would! Primary reason being the character, professionalism and fun that our guide brought to our trip! Emilio really did the most for us as a group - he brought great energy, no problem was too big, and he shared so much about Cuba and it's culture and history with us. Thanks Emilio, we know it wouldn't have been the same without you!
