Get a glimpse of the tranquil provincial life of this city by doing a short walk around the main park where the most beautiful buildings are located.
After the tour, continue the trip to Trinidad.
This drive will take you off the motorway to drive through small villages, farms and hills. It will take about 2 and a half hours from Santa Clara to Trinidad on a road with very little services available. Please, advise your driver of any needing ahead for him to figure out where to stop.
When you arrive to Trinidad, you will be dropped off at your accommodation for 2 nights.
This 80,000 inhabitants town, is one of the first 7 villages founded by the Spanish conquistadors and you will feel like traveling back to the 18th century, sorrounded by Baroque church towers, wrought iron gates, cobbled streets and tiled rooftops. Many of the buildings retain their traditional character and are painted in lovely pastel shades.
The surrounding area was one of the main centers of both sugar production and slavery and it was also frequented by smugglers until the late 1700s.
Enjoy a night stroll on your own around the cobbled stone streets full of bars, restaurants and live music.
