Typical 5-day itinerary
This represents a typical 5-day itinerary. This can an be customized with optional excursions (see optional excursions list); or to feature your particular interest, such as art, ecology, sports or religious tours. However, keeping to a defined itinerary will be helpful when re-entering the United States. Please confer with your agent prior to finalizing your tour.
US Credit Cards are not generally accepted in Cuba. Each package includes air fare, transportation to/from airport, lodging, breakfast, daily transportation to packaged destinations, museum or event entry fees. You will need to pay for lunch, dinner, evening entertainment options, and any optional excursions you select, souvenirs, and tips.
Should you opt to arrive on a weekend, on Sunday mornings, there is usually a Classic Car show and Rumba on Sunday afternoon in Callejon de Hamel. Your agent can customize your itinerary to include these, or you may wish to add an extra day. Note: Customizations may incur additional costs.
