Next we’ll have a walking tour, exploring the main squares and attractions of Habana Vieja (Old Havana).

After lunch at a local paladar, you’ll enjoy a free afternoon until we reconvene later in the evening for dinner. We’ll ride in style in our Coco taxis to a famous Havana restaurant.

We’ll wrap up the night at Fábrica de Arte Cubano (FAC), an art gallery and club established inside of a former cooking oil factory that’s known as one of Havana's premier nightclubs and art galas.

Sunset dinner

After breakfast, it's time to pack up and check out of hectic Havana and head west to more tranquil regions.

We'll drive a couple of hours west via classic car to a remote village, entirely untouched by tourism, to give you a raw and gritty insight into Cuba behind the tourist curtain. Expect humble wooden houses, horse & carts as the main form of transport, and a lot of necessity. 

We'll head to a local home, where we'll be warmly welcomed by the reality of how most Cubans live. Fresh Cuban coffee will be brewing on the fire outside, having just been picked from their coffee tree.

We’ll stick around for a lunch with locals in true Cuban authentic style - as a family. Don't underestimate the efforts the family went to find the food for our gathering - but it's their pleasure, and you'll see the proudness in their eyes to be able to host you!  This is a very unique day and one that tourists don’t usually get to experience - we hope you’ll cherish it forever. 

When we're done here (and there's no rush), we'll continue on the journey to Viñales, taking in the breathtaking views along the way. Upon arriving and meeting our hosts, we’ll check in to the accommodations (neighboring rooms in private homes - casa particulares).

Time for a shower and a freshen up before we head to dinner in a stunning location called Finca Agroecológica El Paraiso to catch the sunset, enjoy an anti-stress cocktail (or two), and eat some delicious farm-to-table traditional Cuban food.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

Breakfast at your casa
Horseback ride to farm
Tobacco and cigar tour
Free time on the farm or in the town

Wake up to a traditional breakfast, Viñales style, with lashings of strong coffee and fresh fruit juices. Fuel up, because it's a busy day ahead!

A Cuban Cowboy will knock at the door to collect you, and you’ll walk just 5 minutes down from your accommodation to the entrance to the national park, where your horses will be waiting.

We’ll ride the horses through a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with stunning views on the way to the family farm. Here we'll have a unique and in-depth tour with the local tobacco farmers, who will talk to the group about the process of growing tobacco and eventually making cigars. Taste the hand-made cigars dipped in honey with a swig of guayabita del Pinar (locally made rum), and a shot of home-grown coffee. 

When the tour is finished, we'll settle down to a plentiful farm-to-table lunch in the farm—rice, beans, and all the trimmings. 

Then we’ll have free time on the farm so you can explore the area however you wish. You can take a walk to a nearby cave, go for a jaunt on the horses, drink mojitos with the cowboys, learn to dance salsa, or play dominoes—the choice is yours!

Then enjoy a free evening with an optional group dinner in town. Salsa or sleep? You decide!

Breakfast and lunch included. Dinner on your own (a reservation at a local restaurant will be made for those who choose to join).

Free time in the morning
Give back at a local farm
Party and celebration with locals

The morning is yours for you to do as you wish in Viñales, whether that be walking the quaint neighborhoods or doing a little shopping in the local street market.

In late afternoon, we’ll head out to enjoy a traditional and authentic pig roast in a private home hidden against the dramatic limestone cliffs of Viñales.

Arriving in horse and cart, we’ll begin festivities by learning how the real locals live. After a tour of their home and a real insight into the real Cuba away from mass tourism, we’ll do our Give Back to the locals, donating much needed supplies and clothing.

After we get the Cuban cocktails flowing, we’ll watch as the sun sets over the mountains before we have our feast.

As friends and family join us throughout the evening, we’ll indulge in rounds of dominoes with the Cuban cowboys and farmers.

When we’re partied out, we’ll head back to our casas in horse and cart, ready for the next morning’s adventures.

Breakfast, dinner, and drinks included.

Sunrise hike (optional)

Dinner

It's an early morning but it's worth it. We're up with the birds for a sunrise hike to Los Acuaticos - an ancient settlement where the locals believe in the healing power of the water. We'll be visiting mainly for the outstanding views over the three valleys of Viñales as the sun comes over the 'mogotes' (unique limestone mountains). 

(We’ll provide a breakfast-to-go during the hike.)

Then the morning is yours to explore or relax and take in the views on the porch of your casa before we pack up.

We’ll hug our host families goodbye, and get ready to head back to Havana, where you’ll have free time to explore and have lunch at one of the many local restaurants and cafés.

In the evening, we'll walk to a nearby restaurant for a group dinner.

Breakfast and dinner provided.

Classic car tour
Beach day
Cuban cocktail and cooking class

After a full breakfast on the terrace with views over the city, you'll head out in a classic car for a tour of the city before we head to one of Havana’s most popular beaches.

Here we can relax, eat fresh fish and lobster, and sip rum and piña coladas as we reminisce about our favorite moments of the week.

After freshening up back at the casa, we’ll reconvene and ride bicitaxis to a Cuban cocktail and cooking class at one of the most beautiful rooftops in Havana. Look your best! We’ll be dining in style and going out with a bang to ensure your last night in Cuba is one not to forget.

Breakfast, dinner + 2 cockails included (in addition to cocktail class)

Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to Cuba. You can stay in the accommodation until 11:30 and leave luggage for longer if necessary. Our classic cars will take you to the airport for when you need to be there. 

Hasta la próxima!
