This Journey Latin America group tour travels overland across western Cuba visiting the highlights. Explore Trinidad a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Viñales, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara and evocative Havana. Book now with Journey Latin America.

This group tour trip begins in Havana, Cuba's inimitable capital, with its faded grandeur enlivened by the sound of salsa and rumba. You then head west to Viñales, a fertile valley punctuated with lumpy limestone mountains in the island's tobacco-growing region. From here journey south to Cienfuegos and on to the cobbled streets of colonial Trinidad, before visiting Santa Clara, home to Che Guevara's mausoleum.

Few would deny that Cuba is a unique holiday destination in a Caribbean Sea rich with gorgeous tropical islands. The turmoil and upheavals of its political and social history are overwhelmed by the sunny friendliness of the people and their love of music and dance.
