Visiting Cuba is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to remember for the rest of your life… But why would it be different than any other paradisical site of the Caribbean?

#1 The Vintage Cars
Go back in time in Havana as you hop into a vintage 1950’s taxi that will make you feel like you are in another decade. The streets are full of these colourful “Yank Tanks” that give a unique charm to the colonial town. See the sights of this historical city that feels like it hasn’t changed for years.
#2 The Charming Cuban People
Wander the streets of any Cuban town and wave to the friendly grandfathers who sit on their front porches playing dominoes or chess. Smile at the kids playing soccer in the streets and learn a few Spanish phrases from the friendliest people on Earth.

Visit the time-forgotten town of Trinidad where time seems to have been standing still for hundreds of years. Immerse yourself in a different pace of life with the residents of this picturesque town.
