You walk to a hotel not too far from your hostal. There a collective transfer picks you up to go to Viñales. It is a tourist service with guide, air-conditioned and comfortable buses. The route is approximately 4 hours. We drop you off in downtown Viñales from where you walk straight to your accommodation. Here you have accommodation in a homestay with breakfast. You stay here 2 nights.
There are lots of options here and the owner will help you choose them. Lots of people go for walks in the valley to visit the farmers. You can also do a ride on horsebacks like the farmers do. The region is full of caves and many are open to visitors. Cayo Jutia beach is 2 hours from Viñales to the north and day trips are easy to book. The center of Viñales is very lively with lots of little restaurants and bars with music.
The same collective service picks you up in the city center. It will take you to Trinidad (8 hours).
They will drop you off near your casa, colonial style house 5 minutes' walk from the lively pedestrian center.
Trinidad is truly a wonderful colonial city with its pedestrian center full of colonial buildings, squares and streets. There are museums, bars and restaurants. The wealth of Trinidad comes from sugar cane and its origin in the Valley of los Ingenios can be visited very easily. For the brave there are excursions to Topes de Collantes, the mountain behind Trinidad with walks that end in waterfalls for swimming. Or simply take the collective bus to go to the beach to the south, the real Caribbean Sea.
And don't forget to enjoy the nightlife in Trinidad.
The same collective service picks you up not far from your accommodation and drops you off in Havana (5 hours). You can easily find your accommodation in the Old Town.
You have a free morning in Havana. Depending on your flight, we put the transfer to the airport by private taxi.
