12 Days — West to Center of Cuba
Our most complete journey — west-to-center of Cuba with no rushing, designed to meet U.S. SCP travel requirements.
About this tour
This 12-day Cuba tour makes it easy for travelers arriving from the U.S. to comply with the SCP travel rules. A fantastic introduction to Cuba that gets you out of Havana so you can see what many visitors do not: Havana is not Cuba, and Cuba is not Havana. Visit the rural Viñales Valley, stroll the romantic sea wall in Cienfuegos, spend real time in Trinidad with its cobblestone streets, learn about ordinary Cuban life — family, school, work, and how locals «resolve» daily challenges. The focus is on meeting people, hearing their stories, and understanding the island beyond the postcard.
