Description

Start your tour in the suburb of Casilda. Begin your exploration of the city of Trinidad, founded by Diego Velazquez in 1514 as the third settlement in Cuba. Explore the city's main outskirts and pass through Playa Ancón and Playa La Boca, where in 1519, Hernan Cortez stopped for provisions on his journey towards modern-day Mexico. See the local fishermen who ply their trade and catch fish such as barracudas, pargo, tuna, and marlin.  Cycle along the Caribbean Sea and along Bahia Casilda, where, depending on the water level and season, many waterfowl can be seen. Stop at the main port of Trinidad, which was used as a hub of shuttling gold and slave ships between America and Spain. Note the many cruise ships which dock here today, and enjoy a short break in an open-air bar.  Continue the journey along the Valley of Sugar Mills, which, like the city of Trinidad itself, is recognized and protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about the importance of Trinidad as a prosperous port city, which transported various valuable goods to all reaches of the Spanish Empire. Then, make your way to the center of the city, and arrive at Plaza Mayor. Explore the old town, with its many colonial-style buildings, which echo the former prosperity of the city. Stop at a bar and try the popular local drink Chanchànchara, followed by a delicious lunch. After lunch, explore the cobbled streets of the cit and visit the old train station with its steam locomotives, before returning to the meeting point.
