Cuba

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, located at the crossroads of the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea. It's renowned for its vibrant culture, colonial architecture, classic 1950s American cars, and a rich music scene rooted in son, salsa, and jazz. Havana, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos draw history and culture lovers, while Varadero and the Jardines del Rey archipelago attract beach and diving enthusiasts. Independent travellers are also drawn by Cuba's unique political history, its system of casa particulares offering authentic local stays, and the sense of stepping into a place like nowhere else on earth.

Highlights of Cuba: Self-Launched Edition

Cuba's colonial cities, revolutionary history, and vibrant rhythms — done independently. This self-launched version of G Adventures' classic Cuba itinerary takes you from Havana through Santa Clara, Topes de Collantes, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos before looping back — staying in authentic casas particulares (just like the tour), hopping aboard local Viazul buses and shared taxis, and booking activities directly with local guides. Bring cash (USD or Euros to exchange into CUP on arrival — cards are still largely unreliable in Cuba). Expect warm hospitality, cobblestone streets, and a country unlike anywhere else on Earth, at a fraction of the group-tour price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Cuba yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
