A 14 night Comprehensive Journey Through Cuba

This very popular journey through Cuba has been carefully created to give the opportunity to explore virtually the whole island over a 2 week holiday. However the Archipelago Choice way is to be really flexible and of course if you do have the possibility to stretch the holiday out a few extra days, then we can certainly tailor the itinerary to suit your wishes. This might allow you the chance to extend a little and immerse yourself into Cuba’s rich history in a colonial town , or enjoy more outdoor activities in the spectacular country areas. If you can add a few extra days and wish to look at extending the holiday further then we can of course make some recommendations

Over 14 nights this holiday certainly totally immerses you into Cuba and visits all the major locations from west to east and back again. There are some interesting and unique activities and great dining experiences at hand picked privately run restaurants. Listen to iconic live Cuban music throughout the holiday and experience the mountains , the three largest and most important colonial cities and more !

All our holidays can be fully guided throughout, or you can travel a little more independently and book a local guide for each visit or activity that you choose to enjoy. You can then use our private transfer service to move between each destination and add in free days for your own pursuits.

Spend time  in Cuba’s capital city Havana, with the chance to cruise the streets in a chauffeur driven old American car. Visit a real working cigar factory and  immerse yourself in historic Old Havana. Head to the peace and quiet of Vinales Valley and be guided gently  through the spectacular scenery of this UNESCO preserved heritage region.

Heading into central Cuba the holiday then focuses on the famous small colonial cities, with visits to Che Guevara’s mausoleum at the revolutionary city of Santa Clara and Trinidad , regarded by many as a living museum.

Heading East, the landscape stays very flat and agricultural until you reach the imposing Sierra Maestra mountains and then you are in Oriente and it all gets a little more wild and interesting . This region of Cuba is much less visited and here at Archipelago Choice we love it ! Visit the mountains and meet the local folk and seek out La Plata, Fidel Castros secret camp that the authorities never found . Advance on Santiago De Cuba , with its music vibe ,  Caribbean soul and where Fidel Castro’s simple mausoleum can be visited.

Enjoy a short breather on an idyllic and absolutely beautiful beach and you must have a sunrise or sunset stroll along the beach as its magical.

Head west now back via Camaguey and onto Sancti Spiritus a colonial city which uniquely has a river running through it and then onto Cienfuegos overlooking the Caribbean Sea . During these last few days you can also swim in the natural pools below waterfalls in the mountains and get up close to a Flamboyance of Flamingos !

Your holiday finishes back in Havana and your last night could include dressing up for the famous Tropicana cabaret, or dressing down for a hot passionate night with the big band sounds of the Legends of Cuban music .
