Top 5 experiences in Trinidad

Walking tour of Trinidad’s cobbled streets

Trinidad has been a Unesco World Heritage site since 1988 and is perhaps the best-preserved colonial town on the island. Exploring Trinidad is like stepping back in time; the cobbled streets and horse-drawn transportation whisking you back to another era. There are many interesting museums in colonial buildings and music drifts through the streets and plazas, bringing the town to life. A walking tour with a local resident is the best way to explore and will provide an insider perspective of what it’s like to live in Trinidad.

Take a Salsa Class

Dancing is integral to Cuban culture and a salsa class will teach you the fundamentals of this partnered dance. Learning with a local Cuban dance partner is the best way to pick up the basic rhythm and steps. Once you’ve mastered some new skills, let your hips and feet do the talking – you can find plenty of locals to practise dancing with on the Cuban Highlights Ride.

Experience live music at Casa de la Trova

Trinidad is known for its nightlife! Once you’ve learnt some salsa basics, visit the Casa de la Trova, a legendary live music venue where local musicians play authentic Cuban music. This venue is always lively and sociable. Casa de la Trova offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the distinct rhythms of Cuban music.

Make a mojito!

For an authentic Cuban experience, on our Taste of Cuba holiday we introduce you to a Cuban barman who is an expert at making the perfect mojito! This traditional Cuban punch is a blended muddle of rum, sugar, lime juice and mint mixed with soda water. Trinidad really comes alive as the sun sets, when the bars and paladares kick into action. Visit a paladar for a cocktail-making lesson, where everyone can have a go at mixing their own authentic Cuban mojito.

Discover Afro-Cuban rhythms at a drumming workshop

Join a local drumming group in Trinidad who will take us on an evocative and joyful journey from Africa to modern Cuba through the pulsating Afro-Cuban rhythms of a drumming workshop. This unique Cuban experience can be found on our La Isla Grande holiday.

Adventure Holidays to Trinidad

Trinidad activity and adventure holidays with Exodus. Trinidad is a town in the province of Sancti Spiritus, central Cuba.

Together with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios, it has been one of UNESCOs World Heritage sites since 1988. Trinidad was founded on December 23, 1514 by Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar under the name Villa De la Santísima Trinidad. Its one of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region. Nowadays, Trinidad’s main industry is tobacco processing. The older parts of town are well preserved as the Cuban tourism industry sees benefit from tour groups.

In contrast, some parts of town outside the non-tourist areas are very run down and in disrepair, especially in the centre. Outside the city lies the Ancón peninsula with a long sandy beach (Playa Ancón) and several resort hotels. Ancón was one of the first new resorts to be developed in Cuba following the 1959 revolution. Trinidad is a charming colonial town and is a feature of most holidays to Cuba.

This is a quick trip that gives an insight into the Cuban way of living across the island.
I thoroughly enjoyed my week in Cuba, go with the flow and embrace it. You will experience blackouts, limited water pressure, limited wifi, poverty but that is part of seeing the real Cuba.
To visit the different areas you have to spend the coach time travelling but it was worth it as I enjoyed every destination.

Denise Martins Highlights of Cuba

I had an incredible time in Cuba! Cycling through stunning landscapes was the perfect way to see the country up close—rolling hills, vibrant towns, and beautiful coastlines. The itinerary was well thought out, balancing active days with plenty of cultural experiences.
Our tour leader, Rey, and driver were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure everything ran smoothly. The bikes were in great condition, and the logistics were seamless.
Highlights for me included exploring Havana’s lively streets, a peaceful stay at the Bay of Pigs, and visiting Trinidad with its colourful colonial charm. Every day brought something new and memorable.
If you’re looking for an active holiday that combines adventure, culture, and great company, this trip is perfect. Highly recommended!

Joe Figueiredo Cuban Highlights Ride

Cycling Cuba with Exodus Tours
Being Canadian, we have had opportunities to visit Cuba before this trip and we were prepared for a good deal of inconveniences, from limited food choices to travel itself being a daily challenge.
My wife and I are also accomplished tour cyclists, having enjoyed this form of travel as our main choice of holiday for many years.
We encourage people to combine active, human powered modes of transportation with their holidays. The ability to see, smell, hear, experience the location you are travelling to in real time, at a humanly accessible pace, enhances your ability to fully experience the country you are travelling to.
