beauty, this province in the westernmost part of the country
is also known as "the Garden of Cuba."It is famous
for growing the best tobacco in the world. It was named Nueva
Filipinas in 1774, but that name never caught on and since
1778, it has been known as Pinar del Río.
Day 3. PINAR DEL RIO - CIENFUEGOS
(Breakfast)
After breakfast, transfer to Cienfuegos and accommodation
at Villa Guajimico. Considered the Cuban architectural jewel
of the 19th century, Cienfuegos is outstanding for the perfect
design of its streets and for the refinement and good taste
of the buildings in the historical centre of the city, which
has been declared a national monument. When visiting, stop
by the Casa del Fundador (Founder's House); Nuestra Señora
de la Purísima Concepción (Our Lady of the Immaculate
Conception) Cathedral; Tomás Terry Theater; Ferrer
Palace; and José Martí Park, which contains
the only arch of triumph in Cuba.
Other attractions include the Prado Promenade, Valle Palace,
Museums of Naval and Provincial History, Reina (Queen's) Cemetery
and Jai-Alai Courts.
Farther out from the center of the city, tour the Nuestra
Señora de los Angeles de Jagua (Jagua for short) Fortress,
Tomás Acea Cemetery and the Botanical Gardens.
In addition to these cultural and historical attractions,
Cienfuegos has excellent facilities for scuba diving and other
water sports, nature tourism and thermal baths.

Free day in Cienfuegos.
Day 5. CIENFUEGOS - HAVANA (Breakfast)
After breakfast, transfer to Havana. Accommodation at the
Hotel Deauville. Guided city tour on foot of the historical
centre of Havana including a visit to the Palacio de la Artesania.
Founded on its present site in 1519, the
settlement of San Cristóbal de La Habana prospered
mainly due to its bay, which was a natural port of call for
ships sailing to and from the New World. This was one of the
main historical reasons for the subsequent development of
a city noted for its architectural diversity and whose nucleus
still contains an exceptional collection of buildings put
up around public squares, and has led UNESCO to declare it
a part of its world heritage in 1982. Over eight and a half
miles (14 kilometers) of excellent beaches lie to the east
of the Cuban capital, which is symbolized by the Giraldilla.
To the south, a green belt contributes to a healthful atmosphere.
The city itself is a cultural center with a solid infrastructure
of hotels and is prepared to host all kinds of conferences
and congresses. Alejo Carpentier, one of Cuba's most famous
authors, called it "the city of columns" and focused
attention on its streets, which he considered a perennially
rich show of life, humanity and contrasts that was bound to
entertain any observer. The settlement of San Cristóbal
de La Habana, which was founded in the southwestern part of
the island in 1514, was moved to the northern coast of the
port of Carenas in 1519. Every November 16th, the anniversary
of its founding is observed with a picturesque traditional
ceremony at the Templete, around an ancient silk-cotton tree
in whose shade-according to tradition, was the first meeting
of the town council and where the first Mass was held.
