Cuba: Pearl of the Antilles

Cuba: Pearl of the Antilles

5-17 January 2016

Visiting Cuba before the embargo ends has been on my Bucket List for a while but while it’s easy to go to Cuba and stay in an all-inclusive, I wanted to actually tour the island. When I started to look seriously for a tour, I found there really wasn’t a lot out there but I saw one company repeatedly mentioned throughout the web, so I checked it out.

This tour is run by the Canadian company Eldertreks which offers more adventurous small-group tours for people over fifty. Perfect!

mapI wrote this tale as I travelled so it is very detailed (and might have a few typos that I’m slowly getting around to fixing). You can start with the Travel Days or navigate to individual days via the Table of Contents.

All my photos can be viewed on my flickr page.

Enjoy!
