Havana, Trinidad & Varadero: city, colonial town and beach

Day 1: Havana

Your transfer meets you at Havana airport and takes you to your hotel.

Days 2 to 3: Havana

Two full days in the city. Walk the old town squares, see the Capitol, ride a classic car along the Malecon and find live music in the evening.

Day 4: Havana to Trinidad

You travel to Trinidad on the south coast, about 4.5 to 5 hours by road. Your hotel is on the beach at Playa Ancón, about 15 minutes by taxi from the old town.

Days 5 to 6: Trinidad

Two full days. Take a taxi into the old town for its cobbled streets and painted houses, hike to a waterfall in the hills nearby, or stay on the beach.

Day 7: Trinidad to Varadero

You travel north to Varadero, about 4 hours by road.

Days 8 to 11: Varadero

Four full days on Varadero beach, more than 20 km of white sand. Swim, walk the beach or do nothing at all.

Day 12: Varadero to Havana airport

The day is yours until your transfer to Havana airport, about 2.5 hours by road. We ask for a late check-out for you; the hotel confirms it on the day. Your flight home usually leaves in the evening and lands in the UK the next day.

Want a different pace? We can change the nights in each place, or give you a full week on the beach.
