Cuba
Across Cuba in 13 days
At the beginning of 2016, Cuba became one of our next destinations after the Dominican Republic. Here we traveled by bus from the south all the way to the north. We visited the famous scammers of Santiago de Cuba, the tourist-crowded village of Trinidad, the city of Cienfuegos (100 fires), the Varadero peninsula with long beaches and beautiful sunrises. Destination stop Havana, from where we also set off on a trip to the legendary Viñales valley.
