Havana, Trinidad and Cienfuegos…
January 11th-18th, 2017
THERE IS STILL TIME TO GO TO CUBA!
Join Yoga Journeys and experience the vibrant and authentic Cuban culture before more outside influence like McDonald’s and Starbucks arrive. Our all-inclusive 8-day itinerary in Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad is filled with art, dance, music, fabulous places to eat and YOGA of course!
Traveling under the auspices of Cuba Cultural Travel we are greeted with a warm welcome at the airport in Havana by our Cuba Cultural Travel guide and driver. We then board our private bus for transfer to our centrally located hotel in the historic district of Havana. After touring, lunch and check- in we will kick off our first night in Havana with a private musical performance with professor Alberto Faya and a trio of stellar musicians designed to take us on a journey through the history of Cuba.
The three action packed days that follow in Havana begin with morning Yoga at the rooftop pool deck and breakfast at the hotel. There will be dance demonstrations and Salsa lessons, a yoga session with the Cuban yoga master Eduardo Pimentel, and a private Flamenco performance by some of the finest dancers in Cuba. We will also learn about art history at the Museum of Cuban Art, and take an architecture walking tour. We’ll dine in some of the finest paladars, including the famous La Guarida restaurant, and enjoy more art and music, and a visit to Fabrica de Arte Cuba. Lunches and dinners are included at the most stylish restaurants known for their ambiance and exquisite cuisine. There will also be time to explore Havana and have one lunch and a dinner on our own and dance until you drop!
After three days in Havana, we will spend the morning traveling though the countryside to Cienfuegos, often referred to as “the Pearl of the Caribbean“. This city is home to neoclassical buildings with a European flair. We’ll have lunch, explore the town, and enjoy a musical performance of some highly respected singers in the area before continuing to Trinidad where we will spend the next 4 nights.
During our three days in Trinidad, known for it’s unique history and colonial ambiance, our guide and driver will guide us as we explore the local scene, practice yoga daily, enjoy live music, dance, art and some lazy afternoons on beautiful Caribbean beaches. We will begin feeling like locals as we will be staying in B&Bs known as Casa’s hosted by Cuban families.
Our Cuba Yoga Journey will come to a close with a free day for more city exploration or a day to relax on the beach. We will gather for a flavorful farewell dinner at Paladar Sol- Ananda, and have an opportunity for more Cuban music at one of Hemingway favorite hangouts, Bar Floridita, sip a daiquiri and practice some more salsa dancing with the fun and friendly locals. Departing for the airport the next morning we are filled by Cuban adventures.
