3 Places to Visit and See When in Cuba

Havana. As the capital of Cuba, Havana is riddled with faint clues of the revolution from decades past. If you wander in and around the Capital Building, you’ll find rustic apartment buildings with colourful hanging laundry and older villas with courtyards made for horses and carriages. Cafes, hotels and restaurants are dimly lit with open window panes and for moments, it’s as if you’re Hemingway or a notorious Italian mafia boss.

Trinidad, Cuba. Located in central Cuba, this small town is a testament to the Caribbean sugar mill industries in the 1800’s. With unpaved streets, brightly coloured walls and traditional cars, you step back in time when you visit Trinidad. Nearby, you can visit the Valle De Los Ingenios: valleys of over 50 eerily abandoned sugar mills, slave lodgings and large mansions. Hundreds of slaves worked these fields and were bought, sold and traded here. Today, the Valle De Los Ingenios is recognized as a UNESCO site.

The Cuevas. Described as the Sistine Chapel of the Caribbean, the Cueva Punta Del Este is known for its ancient Indian art. The walls and ceilings of the caves hold some 200+ pictographs and red and black circles once used as a solar calendar. Dating back to the 800’s CE, the caves were discovered on Cuba’s island, Isla de la Juventud in 1910 by a shipwrecked Frenchman. Similar cave paintings can be seen at Cueva de Ambrosio near Varadero.
