OVERVIEW

CUBA TOUR PACKAGES FROM INDIA

Over the centuries, Cuba has been the seat of various notable political and historical developments. Beginning with the arrival of the Spanish in 1492 until recent times, Cuba has often fallen victim to international restrictions and embargoes on trade, commerce and travel. Hence cut off from the rest of the world and untouched by tourism, Cuba exists in a time and space of its own.

Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean Islands, boasts a 5000-kms shoreline dotted with dazzling beaches, happening beach towns, glorious islands, magical coral reefs and sublime natural beauty. Miles of white sandy beach with turquoise blue waves breaking at the shore provide for awesome travelling experiences.

Explore urban Cuba by spending some time in Havana or Trinidad. Stroll through Havana’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed OLD Town to experience a journey back in time. With cobbled streets lined with Spanish style ancient colonial buildings and European cars from the 1950s Havana seems to be caught in a time warp.

Cuba is the home to some of the most warm and friendly people in the world. It is also of the safest countries to travel. You will always find police patrolling in Old Town Havana making it a safe place to venture out at any time at night as well. People are always ready to help with any kind of assistance needed.

Hence don’t be astonished if you receive a random meal invitation to a Cuban home. Feel free to dine and stay at local homestays known as Casa Particular to get a closer look at Cuban culture.

HIGHLIGHTS OF CUBA

PLACES TO VISIT

Havana

Old Havana or Habana Vieja is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and rightly so. The city exudes an aura of a carefully preserved old-world charm with its cobbled street, Neoclassical and Baroque style buildings, vintage cars and much more. There are innumerable walking streets lined with restaurants, the Plaza de la Catedral, a book market and Plaza de Armas that provide excellent photo opportunities and create lasting memories.

Trinidad

Once again a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Cuba, Trinidad is a well-maintained colonial city that is vibrant and comfortable. Tourists can walk around carelessly and enjoy the Spanish style architecture as cars are not allowed in the town centre. Trinidad is also the gateway to the mesmerizing Valley of the Sugar Mills. Back in the day, the sugar plantation flourished under the colonial rule and formed the basis to livelihood and international trade.

Santa Clara

A quiet town located in the Villa Clara province of Cuba, Santa Clara is primarily known for the historical landmarks and as the seat of the Cuban Revolution. Santa Clara is often referred to as ‘Che’s City’ as this is where the revolutionary guerrilla leader was put to rest. As you walk down the streets you cannot miss the colourful wall murals dedicated to the great leader and a colossal bronze statue of the man himself.

Baracoa

Located in the eastern province of Guantanamo, Baracoa is the oldest city of Cuba. Baracoa was set apart from mainland Cuba until the 1960s when the La Farola highway was constructed. Hence the city provides a remote feel that is both authentic and relaxing for the visitors. One can soak up its beauty in the colonial architecture, lush greenery, pretty waterfalls and powdery beaches. The best way to reach Baracoa is by driving down the 49 kms La Farola highway across the mountains and forests that connects the city with mainland Santiago.

Santiago

Founded by Spanish invaders in 1515, Santiago is a leading administrative centre and the second-largest city in Cuba. Located in southern Cuba, the region is characterised by vibrant Afro-Cuban culture, lively music, spectacular architecture and warm people. One of the most attractive features of the city is the July Carnival that celebrates the Spanish patron St. James and African slaves’ religion Yoruba.

THINGS TO DO

Snorkelling – Enjoy a wide variety on marine creatures and mangroves along the coral reefs of Guardalavaca or at Playa Giron by the Bay of Pigs.

      Visited Thailand (Bangkok & Phuket) with my family in January 2024 through this tour operating company. They prepared a customised itinerary for us, booked our hotels at both locations and arranged all associated transportation and sight-seeing tours. We had an enjoyable trip. Both hotels were good. The tours and transportation too were good and very well arranged by their local tour partners. They had created an Whatsapp group for close monitoring of our tour, which was very effective and assuring. Many thanks to the Flying Squirrel Holidays team !

      I booked a trip with my mom for Bangladesh with Flying Squirrel Holidays. As the caption says - its taken care of, the team stood up to my expectations. It was an awesome and memorable experience. It was indeed special for me as my mom had a fabulous time. We visited 4-5 places in Bangladesh and every arrangement in each and every place was great. Starting from their flight booking service, visa processing, currency exchange, hotels, cab, itinerary, food - all was top notch. I definitely look forward to many more memories with Flying Squirrel Holidays. Well done Team and thanks a ton for the experience 🙏 👍 😀.
