You will visit the following places:
Camagüey

Camagüey

Camagüey is a city and municipality in central Cuba and is the nation's third largest city. It is the capital of the Camagüey Province. Founded as Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe around 1515 on the northern coast, the city has some beautiful old churches. The new city was built with a confusing lay-out of winding alleys. There are many blind alleys and forked streets that lead to squares of different sizes.

Havana

Havana

Havana, officially Ciudad de La Habana, is the capital city, major port, and leading commercial centre of Cuba. The city is one of the 15 Cuban provinces. The city/province has 2.1 million inhabitants, the largest city in Cuba and the second largest in the Caribbean region, after Santo Domingo. The city extends mostly westward and southward from the bay, which is entered through a narrow inlet and which divides into three main harbours: Marimelena, Guanabacoa, and Atarés. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.

Santiago de Cuba

Santiago de Cuba

Santiago de Cuba is the capital of the Santiago de Cuba province in south-eastern Cuba. Historically Santiago de Cuba has long been the second most important city on the island after Havana, and still remains the second largest. It is on a bay connected to the Caribbean Sea and is an important sea port. The city best known for colonial architecture and revolutionary history.

Cienfuegos

Cienfuegos

Cienfuegos is a stunning waterfront city situated on the southern coast of Cuba. Its picturesque nautical setting has earned it the title, “the Pearl of the South”, a description that has endured for centuries.  The history of Cienfuegos possesses interesting antecedents and is rich in aborigine and Hispanic legends. Founded in 1819, it's one of Cuba's newest settlements, but also one of its most architecturally interesting, a factor that earned it a Unesco World Heritage Site listing in 2005.
