One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
For our first trip to Cuba we decided that the two cities we would stay overnight in were Havana and Trinidad. Trinidad is a very different city than Havana. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1988 and is located in the middle south side of the country. Trinidad was a city that…
Our last night in Havana we wanted to go out in style, Havana style that is, so we went to 1830 Club. This is a salsa club that is right on the Malecon so it is also on the water. I apologize for the pictures in this post but the salsa was so good I…
On day four in Cuba we took a day trip to Viñales. Located in the Pinar del Rio province, this is the area where coffee, tobacco and other crops are grown. We booked our trip with Havana Tours and they were great (this is also who we booked our day tour of Havana with as well)!…

In a few hours we will be on our flight to Havana! Be back in a week with lots of info and photos!
