Forget what you’ve heard, it’s time to uncover the true soul of the largest and most evocative Caribbean island
You already know the headlines: vintage cars and premium cigars; political turmoil and revolutionary icons; salsa rhythms and minty mojitos. This trip encompasses that and more, uniting you with local families and small independent stores to uncover the true spirit of Cuba. Staying in Cuban guesthouses, known as casas particulares, and dining in family-run paladar restaurants, we experience the dilapidated colonial grandeur of Old Havana, the lively nightlife of Santiago and the restored splendour of Trinidad, while taking time to relax in Baracoa, a lively coastal town wrapped by rainforest and cocoa plantations.

People, Places & Planet
We work hard to create trips that have a positive impact on the people and places we visit and look after the planet we explore. Learn more about our sustainable travel ethos and practice here and find out about the work of the Exodus Travels Foundation here.
Some sustainable travel highlights of this trip include:
People
How this trip helps improve life for local communities.
- Every day of this trip is focused on activities that provide direct income for local people. This is in compliance with the United States' Support for the Cuban People scheme, which allows legal travel to Cuba for US citizens.
- Local guides keep you well informed about local traditions and cultural-social sensitivities.
- This trip brings income and opportunity to the destination community through the inclusion of locally owned casas particulares, paladares (restaurants), and other enterprises, and by championing locally produced food wherever possible.
- We visit businesses including the art studio of Kcho, a local artist whose gallery and studio have brought much-needed investment to the Romerillo neighbourhood of Havana, take a cookery class of local dishes in Baracoa and enjoy an energetic drumming class in Trinidad, with fees paid to all participating local businesses.
- We spend time with a group of local women who are keeping regional traditions alive by teaching embroidery techniques and encouraging younger generations to embrace the skilled process of making textile handicrafts.
- We visit a dance troupe in Guantanamo that aims to encourage members of the community to come together, learn new skills and challenge themselves in a fun, active environment.
- These interactions allow the local people to improve their English skills, which can help widen employment opportunities, and give visitors incomparable insight into the daily lives of Cuban people.
- Read more about our other initiatives here.
Places
How this trip helps protect and conserve local landscapes and nature.
- By travelling in a small group we ‘tread lightly’ to minimise our impact on local resources and the environment.
- We work with our partners on the ground to proactively reduce waste; this includes eliminating all single-use plastic water bottles by providing refills for re-usable bottles and encouraging visitors to bring filter water bottles, which can be refilled at public fountains and taps along the way.
- We spend time at Finca La Lima where Cuban cowboys share their way of life. This brings them an additional stream of income that allows for the continuation of traditional agricultural practices in rural areas.
- We visit a conservation project in Baracoa, run by a family who has dedicated its life to the conservation of the endangered polymita snail.
- We rewild 100 square metres per passenger to compensate for all trip and flight emissions.
- Read about our commitment to nature protection and restoration here, including our rewilding commitment for every customer who travels with us.
Planet
How we seek to keep the carbon footprint of this trip low.
- Accommodation and restaurants in the itinerary use locally sourced food which has not been transported long distances.
- Casas particulares are small guesthouses that have a lower carbon footprint than larger hotels.
- Read about our climate action here, including our carbon reduction and compensation commitments.
Tips for sustainable travel on this trip
- Leave no trace: we do all we can to ensure we leave no rubbish in the wild and beautiful places we visit; we ask that you do the same. If there are no recycling facilities in-country, consider bringing recyclable materials home with you.
- Plastic waste reduction: please bring a re-usable water bottle on this trip, also consider avoiding single-use hotel toiletries, which generate a large amount of plastic waste.

Itinerary
Havana Havana
We fly to Havana, the lively capital of Cuba, where we check into our first casas particulares of the trip. Today is all about settling in and unwinding after your flight. The welcome briefing typically takes place tomorrow.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Welcome to Havana, the lively capital of Cuba. Founded by the Spanish in the 16th century, it is now a soulful mix of colonial architecture, street troubadours and classic cars. We check into our first casas particulares of the trip; today is all about settling in and unwinding after your flight. The welcome briefing typically takes place tomorrow.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
This morning, we have a tour of Old Havana, stopping at El Capitolio, which bears a resemblance to the Capitol building in Washington DC, and at Revolution Square. We also visit KCHO studio, which showcases local art and the relationship between Cuban art and the government. We then set off for Santa Clara, stopping on the way for lunch at our first paladar (family-run restaurants that form the soul of Cuban dining).
This afternoon we arrive into Santa Clara, where the last battle of the Cuban Revolution took place. In December 1958, Che Guevara and his troops ambushed an armoured train carrying arms to Santiago de Cuba – a major turning point in the revolution. We visit the mausoleum of Che Guevara and his comrades who died in Bolivia. The museum attached to the mausoleum has many of his belongings – a fascinating insight into one of the most revered icons of the 20th century. After, we check into our casas particulares before heading to a paladar for dinner. We also visit El Mejunje, the first openly LGBTQ+ bar in Cuba, founded in 1990.
Today’s driving time is approximately four hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today is a long driving day as we head to Bayamo in the south of the island. We pass through agricultural towns and sugarcane plantations as we go, learning about the importance of sugar in Cuba’s history. We stop in Camaguëy, the fourth-largest city in the country, to break the journey and have lunch in a paladar. On arrival in Bayamo, we enjoy an orientation tour of the city before checking into our guesthouses for the night and having dinner at a paladar.
Today’s driving time is approximately seven hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, we leave Bayamo and drive to the beautiful Tortuguilla Beach, where we stop for a light lunch and a chance to swim in the Caribbean waters. We then continue to Baracoa, a quaint town surrounded by lush, tropical mountains and golden-sand beaches. Founded in 1512, Baracoa was the first Spanish settlement in Cuba and served as the capital for three years. Its location on the easternmost tip of the island left it open to attacks from pirates, smugglers and the English, so three forts were constructed in the 18th century for protection.
The city has only been accessible by road since the 1960s and this has left it largely off the tourist route. However, the area is renowned for cocoa growing and chocolate production, while the Malecon on the northeast side of town is considered the first ocean drive in the Caribbean. There is also a strong indigenous influence here and El Yunque (an anvil-shaped mountain mentioned by Christopher Columbus in his diaries) used to be home to various indigenous communities. We arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy a walking tour with a local guide before checking into our casas particulares.
This evening, we head to a paladar for a hands-on cookery class and dinner, uncovering the secrets of traditional Baracoan cuisine. Due to its isolation, Baracoa has developed a unique gastronomy that has been heavily influenced by indigenous and Haitian cooking.
Today’s driving time is approximately five hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, we visit a family who are dedicating their lives to the conservation of the endangered and uniquely colourful polymita snail, whose beautiful red, yellow, white and black shells have been previously used in crafts and jewellery. The family now breeds them to protect their numbers and teaches others about this unique species. Afterwards, we enjoy a fish lunch on the beach with a local family – a great chance to learn more about their lives in this part of Cuba.
This afternoon, we return to Baracoa and enjoy a short walking tour, where there’s time to visit locally-owned craft shops and cafes. We also stop to listen to live Cuban music in a casa de la trova, a musical hotspot where troubadours play traditional songs.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
We leave Baracoa after breakfast and travel towards Santiago de Cuba, known as the City of Heroes for the important role it played in the independence and revolutionary struggles. Santiago rivals Havana for literature, music and politics, and is rich in traditions, folklore and legends.
Along the way, we stop in the busy city of Guantanamo to visit a dance school, where we learn more about the cultural heritage of Cuba, digging into the danzón, son and salsa styles. We also stop to talk to a priest of the Santería religion, before enjoying a Haitian-influenced paladar lunch.
On arrival in Santiago, we head for a stroll through Santiago, where the local son music provides a lively soundtrack to our adventures, and enjoy dinner at another paladar.
Today’s driving time is approximately four hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We explore Santiago this morning, visiting the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, where Fidel Castro is buried, Revolution Square, El Morro Castle and Moncada Barracks, where the opening shots of the Revolution were fired on 26 July 1953. After, we enjoy lunch in a paladar.
The afternoon is dedicated to music and dance – Santiago is not only considered the cradle of the Revolution but, as the home of the Afro-Cuban genre son cubano, it is also the most important city musically. We enjoy an afternoon guided tour and performance at the Museo del Carnaval, which showcases songs and dances brought to Cuba by enslaved people from Africa. It culminates with a salsa lesson, which took its modern form in Cuba at the turn of the 20th century.
Later in the evening, we visit Casa de la Trova. While many towns have a casa de la trova, this particular spot is a musical institution and offers a chance for us to enjoy traditional Cuban music played by experienced hands and rising stars. Former performers here include members of legendary Cuban band Buena Vista Social Club.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Leaving the city, we drive towards the green mountains of the Sierra Maestra, stopping to visit El Cobre, the most sacred pilgrimage site in Cuba. Upon arrival we’ll visit the Church of La Virgen de la Caridad, Cuba’s patron saint, and learn how African and Catholic religions have intertwined in Cuba to create Santería. We then climb a short distance to see the monument of the Runaway Slave, an iron-and-bronze hillside sculpture honouring one of the earliest and most important revolts by enslaved people, which took place in 1731.
After, we continue into the Sierra Maestra and stop for a picnic lunch along the way. We reach our destination, Villa Santo Domingo, in the early afternoon. This evening, we stay in casas particulares in a humble mountain village. Accommodation is simple but the welcome is warm.
This evening, we head to Junco’s Farm in the village, where Junco and his family welcome us for a traditional Cuban country dinner. The food is served with plenty of stories about Junco’s life and the history of the region. After dinner, we join the family for rum and a game of Cuban dominoes – a classic Cuban experience and an unforgettable bonding moment.
Today’s driving time is approximately three hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
We spend this morning in the Gran Parque Nacional Sierra Maestra, a spectacular national park within the highest mountain range in Cuba. This region is well known as Fidel Castro’s base of operations during the Cuban Revolution. High in the sierra is Comandancia de la Plata, the secret hideout of Castro and Che Guevara that was used for planning the revolution in the 1950s, and as the base of Radio Rebelde, which provided information for the revolutionaries. Accompanied by a local guide, we hike to the base and may have time to bathe in the Yara River.
We enjoy lunch in a paladar, and then continue to Camaguëy where we spend the night. After almost continuous attacks from pirates, the original city (founded on the northern coast as Santa Maria del Puerto del Principe around 1515) was moved inland in 1528. The new city was built with a confusing layout of winding alleys that made it easier to defend.
After checking into our casas particulares, we enjoy dinner together at a paladar.
Today’s driving time is approximately three hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
This morning, we have time to explore this historic city by bici-taxi, each peddled by a local. On our three-wheeled vehicles, we travel through the winding streets of Camaguëy and pass by the Church of Soledad, the historic centre and the old convent of Ursuline Mothers. Depending on availability, we visit a local artist who is a sculptor, painter, illustrator, engraver and ceramicist. We visit her studio workshop, where she showcases her work and speaks about how her life in Cuba, and in Camaguëy in particular, influences her creations. Alternatively, we may visit an initiative that focuses on dance and helps young people discover performing arts in Cuba.
We then continue to Trinidad, a Unesco World Heritage site since 1988 and perhaps the best-preserved colonial town on the island, where we enjoy a walking tour. Exploring Trinidad is like stepping back in time; the cobbled streets and horse-drawn transportation whisks you back to colonial times. There are many interesting museums in colonial buildings to visit during the day, but Trinidad really comes alive as the sun sets, when the bars and paladares kick into action.
This evening, we take part in a cocktail-making class, visiting a paladar to learn how to make the perfect mojito from a local bartender.
Today’s driving time is approximately four hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Dinner
This morning, we take a short walking tour of Trinidad before heading to the nearby Valle de los Ingenios, one of the largest producers of sugarcane in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Our first visit is to the Santander family, whose pottery-making heritage stretches back generations. We see their workshop and even have the chance to throw a pot ourselves. It’s then on to Manaca Iznaga, a one-time sugarcane estate, where we learn about the local sugar-growing history, a hugely important industry for Cuba during the 18th and 19th centuries, before visiting the plaza where there is an artisan market showcasing locally made crafts, souvenirs as well as fruit and honey. Finally, we visit a local project that teaches young people about textile making, art and dance.
Returning, we take a short drive to Playa Ancon where we have a fish lunch on the beach and enjoy the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
In the afternoon, we head back to Trinidad. After freshening up, we join a local drumming group who take us on an evocative and joyful journey from Africa to modern Cuba through the pulsating Afro-Cuban rhythms of a drumming workshop. After, we enjoy dinner in a paladar.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, we set off for Finca La Lima for a Cuban cowboy day to learn about rural Cuban life. This is a working farm and we take the chance to experience the countryside life. We join farmers for a walk to the creek for a swim, use a press to squeeze our own sugarcane juice, and milk the cows before lunch at the hacienda.
We then carry on to Cienfuegos, the ‘Pearl of the South’, where our local guide will give us a tour of this colonial city, first settled in the 19th century by French immigrants. We visit some of the most important plazas, including Plaza José Martí, and our tour guide will tell us about Beny Moré, a Cuban musical legend who often sang of his adoration for Cienfuegos. We then check into our casas particulares, followed by dinner in a paladar.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Today we visit the Bay of Pigs, site of the attempted US invasion in 1961, and drive through the Zapata Peninsula back to Havana. We visit the museum at Playa Giron, which focuses on the invasion, and stop for lunch and to swim at Punta Perdiz, a promontory jutting into the Bay of Pigs and a great snorkelling spot. We are joined by a marine expert who chats to the group about sea life and the conservation of local coral.
If time permits, we’ll make a brief stop in the village of Palpite to visit a local who usually has many zunzuncitos (bee hummingbirds) living in his garden.
After arriving back to energetic Havana, we have a walking tour of Old Havana – a living museum, with marvellous monuments, cathedrals and palaces.
Today’s driving time is approximately four hours.
Accommodation: Casas particulares
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
This morning, we have more time to explore Old Havana with our guide. We start with a classic car tour, cruising through the streets of Old Havana and along the Malecón towards the more modern part of town. As we travel in our colourful cars, we’ll stop along the way to hear stories and explanations of Havana’s highlights and learn about how these classic cars became an iconic part of Havana.
We then enjoy a walking tour of Old Havana, visiting both historic points of interest and meeting its current residents. It is the finest surviving Spanish colonial complex in the Americas, preserved by a combination of minimal war damage, post-revolution restoration and the millions of dollars invested since it was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1982. We enjoy lunch in a paladar before spending the afternoon at a screen-printing workshop with Havana’s finest graphic designers.
We then head down to the Malecón to join the locals for rum cocktails, spontaneous music and conversations on the city’s iconic seafront boulevard. Tonight, we enjoy our final dinner in a local paladar.
Accommodation: Casas particulares

Essential Info
Visa
Cuba
Customers from the UK or EU:
Travellers from the UK and EU do not need a visa to enter Cuba but do require a tourist card. A Cuban tourist card (valid for 30 days) is included and will be posted to you by Exodus approximately three to four weeks before travel. We will send instructions on how to fill it in but please be careful doing this as any mistakes may result in you having to purchase a new card at a cost of £25 per person. We will send one tourist card free of charge as long as you live at a UK or Ireland address and are a national of an EU country, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Japan. If you are not a national of one of these countries or are not resident in the UK or Eire you must contact your nearest Cuban consulate to check what visa is required – Exodus cannot provide a tourist card for you. Please note, tourist cards supplied by Exodus will not be valid if you are travelling via the US. If you are travelling via the US, you will be subject to compliance under the same regulations as an American citizen. You cannot use a tourist card purchased outside the US but will have to buy a ‘pink’ tourist card sold only in the US (at a US airport or from a US travel agent). For UK or EU customers, we do not recommend travelling to Cuba via the USA.
Customers from the USA:
Any US citizen wishing to travel to Cuba should be fully aware of current legislation before committing to any trip to Cuba. The main requirement is that for legal travel to Cuba, all US citizens must comply with the requirements set out by the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). As an American-owned company, Exodus programs to Cuba are fully compliant with the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) general license under the Support for the Cuban People category of travel.
Travellers from the USA are required to buy a ‘pink’ tourist card sold only in the US (at a US airport or from a US travel agent). We recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through. For travellers from the USA, please check: www.travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel.html where you can also find more information about the Support for Cuban People and OFAC requirements.
We advise you to keep a copy of your itinerary and any transactions relating to the trip for five years after the trip takes place to comply with OFAC requirements.
Customers from Canada or Australia:
Please check with your nearest embassy or consulate about how to obtain a tourist card prior to travel to Cuba (links below).
IMPORTANT FOR ALL CUSTOMERS:
Cuba now requires all passengers to fill in a locator form prior to travel – this form is mandatory. You can access the form here: https://www.dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu/inicio Make sure to keep a photo of the QR code generated so that you can easily present it on arrival. Please note, you can only fill in the D’Viajeros form 48 hours prior to entry into Cuba.
The Cuban entry immigration is time consuming and most visitors encounter delays: it may take up to two hours to clear immigration and collect your bags, so please be prepared for a long wait on arrival. The Cuban government passed a law stating that all tourists visiting Cuba must have travel insurance to cover medical costs. You may be asked to provide proof of your travel insurance policy when you arrive at Havana Airport, so please ensure your documents are easily accessible. Remember to check the expiration date of your passport if travelling internationally. Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after the date of your scheduled return, and to have at least two clear pages for entry stamps.
Visa requirements often change and it is your responsibility to organise this element of your trip. We recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through. Some local governments provide guidance on what visas their citizens need. To help, we’ve gathered a selection of useful links below.

Vaccination
Cuba
There are no mandatory vaccination requirements. Recommended vaccinations are: Tetanus, Hepatitis A. We are advised that there is no risk of malaria. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available for Dengue, and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Zika fever is a mosquito‐borne viral disease and a known risk in places visited on this trip. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available, we therefore strongly recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites.
The above information can change at short notice; as we are not qualified to answer all your questions about travel health we recommend that you confirm with your doctor or travel clinic.
Eating and Drinking
All breakfasts, 13 lunches and eight dinners are included.
Cuba is not renowned for its culinary excellence (although it is improving) and some ingredients are just not possible to get secure. Food tends to be simple and relatively expensive – in no small part due to the long trade embargo implemented by the US.
Flavours tend to be relatively simple, with most mealtimes consisting of meat or fish accompanied by rice and salad or vegetables. Seafood is widely available on the coast, including cheap and abundant lobster.
Vegetarians will probably find they have the most limited choice. Snack food is not freely available in Cuba so you may wish to consider taking some with you. It can also be difficult to find quick lunches on the go as Cubans typically eat two meals a day, so expect the sandwich choice to be limited. While food choice can be basic, there is absolutely no shortage of rum! Havana Club, Black Tears, Ron Santiago, Caney… after a visit to Cuba you’ll be an expert.
The paladares are likely to be a highlight of any visit to Cuba – they are one of the few types of private enterprise allowed (although still heavily regulated). Think soul food: rice, black beans, slow-roast pork or chicken, fresh fish, lobster and plenty of tropical fruit. The atmosphere in private paladares and the opportunity to integrate with Cuban people will undoubtedly enhance your stay.
Some drinking water will be available while you’re on the bus, so please bring a refillable water bottle. To cut down on plastic and the need to buy water when not on the bus, please bring your own water-filter bottle.
Weather
The dry season runs from November to April (with December to March being the peak months for traditional tourism). It is very humid between May and October, with heavy rains at times and the possibility of hurricanes. July and August are some of the most popular months to visit Cuba by sunseekers from Europe and Canada but are hot (average 28C/82F) and wet. Cuba averages six hours of sunshine per day with a more or less constant humidity of 62 percent. Water temperatures normally range from 24C to 28C (75F to 82F).
Is this trip for you?
This trip has been rated Activity Level 1 (Leisurely). This is a busy itinerary with plenty of activities each day, but all participants with a reasonable level of fitness can take part. There is a 7km (4.3mi) hike on Day 9 of the trip to see Fidel Castro and Che Guevara's mountain hideout in the Sierra Maestra mountain range. This is a moderate hike that we do not recommend for people with mobility issues - it is possible to miss the hike and rejoin the group afterwards.
You may face minor frustrations in Cuba. We encourage all travellers to go with an open mind and with realistic expectations at what a visit here entails. If your guide announces a change of plans, please be assured that everything possible has been done to make satisfactory alternative arrangements.
Transport: We travel in a private air-conditioned coach. The longest journey is seven hours on Day 3, and there is another long distance to cover on days 4 and 6. Travel times can vary depending on traffic and weather.
Phones: Mobile networks don’t make or receive calls particularly well in Cuba, and coverage may not be available in many locations. Cuba does have 4G but not all phone networks work here, so please check with your service provider before travel. Additionally, data roaming can be incredibly expensive – we recommend switching this off. Many casas particulares have free wifi, but download speeds are likely to be slow. You can purchase wifi scratch cards at official shops, but often you’ll encounter long queues. Alternatively, buy a Cuban sim card and roaming package valid for 30 days to use in an unlocked phone.
Please note: As an American-owned company, Exodus programmes to Cuba are fully compliant with the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) general license for Support for the Cuban People travel.
Following a review of all our trips we have categorised this trip as not suitable for full wheelchair users, but it may be suitable for other persons of reduced mobility. Please contact customer services to discuss the trip and your personal condition.
Casas particulares
We spend 14 nights in casas particulares, traditional Cuban guesthouses that provide a warm welcome and, best of all, an insight into the local lifestyle and culture. Rooms are on a twin-share basis with air conditioning and private bathrooms.
Every property we use has been inspected and assessed by our local team. Some are large multi-room houses that are home to entire families, others are run by individuals, and in some cases the owners live elsewhere. We typically use several different properties in close vicinity to accommodate our full group. We always do our best to ensure those in single-room accommodation are within a house where other Exodus clients are staying.
The casa owners are usually happy to help with laundry for a small fee. Most casas do not have hairdryers. There are often pets (a cat or dog) at the casas – please advise at the time of booking if this is problematic.
Please note, power cuts occur regularly in Cuba and you should expect there to be blackouts for hours at a time. This is a part of daily life in Cuba and torches are readily available for evening/night-time blackouts. Hot water supplies are not always guaranteed and water pressure can be temperamental. Cuba is not a luxury destination and anyone travelling to the island should be prepared for this.
