"[Cuba was] one of the best trips
(if not THE BEST) I've ever enjoyed.
I shall S-P-R-E-A-D the good news.
Many thanks for all."

CUBA
Christopher Columbus, on first seeing Cuba, wrote, "Never have human eyes beheld anything so beautiful."
Cuba is famous for its nearly 300 attractive beaches, but it has far
more to offer the traveler than sea, sand and sunshine. The landscape
of this island, the largest in the Caribbean, is a mixture of lush
mountains, rolling hills, jungle-like forests and flat plains which
produce sugar, tobacco and a vast array of tropical fruit and vegetables.
Picturesque colonial towns, enchanting art, music and people help
make this the “Pearl of the Antilles”. Our itinerary will
feature hikes, both half and full day, in the Vinales, Las Terrazas
and Topes de Collantes areas, as well as visits to the historic towns
of Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Santa Clara. We’ll swim in the San
Juan River pools, have lunch in a coffee plantation and get to know
the Cuban culture and their way of life (herein lies the real reason
for hiking through Cuba after all). The last days are spent in the
capital of Havana where we take a guided walking tour of the old city,
watch the “Firing of the Cannon” ceremony and enjoy a
farewell lunch at a country club. We’ll stay at SEVERAL DIFFERENT
HOTELS (most of them have a pool or the sea at your front door) and
travel around by chartered air-conditioned bus.
