Below is a map of Cuba so you can identify where we are headed on the trip –
As you will note, Havana is on the NORTH side and almost directly below Key West. To the west of Havana is Pinar del Rio where we will be headed on a day trip out of Havana. The other two cities we will be visiting are Cienfuegos and Trinidad on the SOUTH shore towards the EAST. FYI…the infamous Guantanamo Bay is at the southeast tip of the island, not far from the well known tourist resorts at Holguin.
This is the first post about our upcoming 2014 trip to the island nation of Cuba. Our group is mainly composed of Canadians, but we are also fortunate to have three Mexican friends along for the journey. Stay tuned as we explore the culture and customs of Cuba, starting in Old Havana and travelling to Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Pina del Rio. Along the way we will see some of Ernest Hemingway’s Cuba, while sampling Cuban rum, maybe smoking a Cuban cigar and listening to some great rhythms… So sit back with a Cuba Libre and enjoy the trip!
