Escambray Encounter, Cuba 

• World Heritage sites of Havana and Trinidad
• Trek through citrus groves and sugar plantations
• See Santa Clara, the site of the Revolution’s final battle
• Explore Old Havana

This trek starts in the vibrant capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Havana. Much of Havana's old quarter remains untouched despite the various wars and revolutions that have taken place over the last 200 years.

Once out of Havana, things are generally quieter and more easygoing. But for you, this is where your challenge begins. You will be trekking for four days, for between 6 to 7 hours a day, passing farms, coffee plantations and fruit plantations.

The terrain is undulating, and in parts tough going, but with amazing views and tropical waterfalls to bathe in, it is well worth the effort. You will visit the city of Santa Clara, famed for the final battle of the Cuban Revolution, the Sierra del Escambray and finally the beautiful city of Trinidad.
