Your day-by-day itinerary
Classic Cars in Havana
Havana has a distinct, exotic personality that you won’t find anywhere else on the planet. During this trip, you’ll stay in a local Casa near the heart of timeless Old Havana and take a city tour by classic car and foot. It’s the perfect way to explore the mix of crumbling colonial beauty, peeling bygone glamour and colossal Caribbean soul.
Onward transfers
This morning you’ll travel to the tobacco town of Viñales – roughly 3 hours by private transfer – and you’ll be travelling through one of Cuba’s most beautiful provinces.
Rolling through Tobacco Hills
Horse ride through the rolling hills of Viñales, Cuba’s rustic cigar region. You’ll stay in a Casa particular and explore the valley on horseback or by foot. You’ll learn about the art of cigar-rolling and meet the local guajiros. If you’re looking for an authentic Cuban countryside experience, you’ve found it. Life isn’t staged in Viñales, it simply unfolds.
Onward transfers
After breakfast you’ll jump in your private transfer and continue your journey through Cuba. Today’s transfer takes roughly half an hour to Palma Rubia port where you’ll hop on the ferry for another 30 minutes over to the cosy island of Cayo Levisa.
Cosy Cayo Levisa Island
Cayo Levisa Island is a little nook of beach bliss off Cuba’s northern coast. Heading for the island, you’ll be following in the footsteps of Hemingway, who discovered this archipelago on a fishing trip from Cayo Paraiso – the next islet along. You’ll spend two nights in a basic resort on Cayo Levisa, without a care in the world. It’s sun-drenched, secluded and downright dreamy.
Onward transfers
After breakfast you’ll make your own way to the ferry port where we’ll arrange tickets to take the ferry back to the mainland. You’ll be met at the ferry port and transferred back to Havana. The journey should take around 2 hours
Overnight in Havana
You’ll return to Havana and stay in Havana Vieja. This is your chance for a final wander and to visit any sites you may have missed previously. The many art galleries and local craft markets mean you can stock up on any last minute souvenirs. Maybe you’ll have time to visit some of Hemmingways’ old haunts as well.
Onward transfers
We’ll arrange for a private transfer to take you to the airport, where you’ll catch your international flights home.
