For those of you who don’t know, I flew down to Cuba a few days ago to see if they were ready for tourists after Hurricane Rafael… what a great escape from the winter weather in CO!
The lights were back on in Cuba on Tuesday. Here’s one of the beautiful nighttime views in Havana.
The first time I came to Trinidad, Cuba, I was surprised that it exceeded the hype! I probably took 100 photos on my old iPhone, in the middle of the day with harsh shadows and my finger in the corner of every photo, but I just couldn't get enough of the vibrantly painted historic homes and vibe.
If you're going to Cuba, definitely go here!
This city on the south coast reflects the rich history and culture of this part of Cuba. This colonial gem is a living museum, where cobblestone streets and pastel-colored houses transport you back in time. Wander through its vibrant plazas, like Plaza Mayor, where live salsa music spills out of local cafes, and every corner seems to hide a piece of Trinidad’s story.
But Trinidad isn’t just about its beauty—it's also a treasure trove of cultural experiences. The Museo Romántico gives you a glimpse into the lavish lives of the old sugar barons, while a visit to the Casa de la Música introduces you to the rhythms of Cuban salsa.
As a nature lover I also love Trinidad's proximity to stunning landscapes. Just a short drive away, Topes de Collantes offers lush hiking trails, hidden waterfalls, and panoramic views of the Escambray Mountains.
The nearby Playa Ancón, with its soft white sands and crystal-clear waters, is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the town’s cultural riches. In Trinidad, you can have it all—a rich cultural immersion combined with a peaceful escape into nature.
Join us this winter on a 10-day excursion across the island, and experience the incredible diversity of this Caribbean island. Three of our most popular Cuban tours are on sale through Monday! https://vivemastours.com/anniversarysale

+Cuba's Capitol +What's inside this building
El Capitolio, Havana's architectural gem, stands as a testament to Cuba's rich history and cultural blend. Completed in 1929, this iconic building was inspired by the U.S. Capitol but has its own unique charm. Its grand dome, majestic staircases, and intricate details showcase a beautiful fusion of Spanish and neoclassical styles.
Whether you're a history buff or an architecture enthusiast, El Capitolio is a must-see when exploring Havana. It’s more than just a building—it's a piece of Cuba's soul. It is stunning inside and out, I just wish Cuba had the resources to rebuild hundred of historic buildings in this city. #Havana #Cuba #ElCapitolio #Travel #History #vivemastours
