On the first day, we arrive at Istanbul Airport at the designated time. After completing our ticketing and baggage procedures, we wait for our flight. Upon arriving in Cuba, we meet our guide and vehicle waiting for us and proceed to the hotel.

Day 2: HAVANA

After breakfast, we begin our Havana City Tour. During our visit, we will explore Old Havana, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as Malecon Boulevard, Revolution Square, Columbus Cemetery, Miramar, and Morro Castle, where we can enjoy a panoramic view of the city. We will also take a ride in classic American cars to visit the neighborhood decorated by Cuba’s Picasso, Jose Fuster, with his paintings, ceramics, and drawings. Afterwards, we will visit Hamel Street, named after Fernando Hamel and known as the hub of modern artists. We will also visit the house of Cuba’s legendary hero Che Guevara, with a great view of Havana from above. After having lunch at a local restaurant, we return to our hotel for the night.

Day 3: HAVANA

After breakfast, we set out on a tour inspired by the famous author Ernest Hemingway, who spent 20 years in Cuba. Our first stop will be Cojimar, a small fishing village where Hemingway wrote his famous novel "The Old Man and the Sea" and used to have lunch. Then, we will visit Hemingway's residence at La Vigia Farm, known as La Finca, which is now the Hemingway Museum. After the tour, we return to our hotel for the night.

Day 4: HAVANA

After breakfast, we depart from the hotel for a tour of Vinales Valley and Pinar del Rio. We head to Vinales Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the famous Cuban cigar tobacco. After a journey of about three hours, we arrive in Vinales town center, where we will visit the tobacco fields and a local tobacco farm. We will then have lunch at a restaurant located in the middle of the valley. After lunch, we head to Pinar del Rio, where we will visit the cigar factories and learn more about the production and culture of Cuban cigars. Guests who wish can purchase authentic Cuban cigars here. At the end of the day, we have some free time on a hill with a panoramic view of Vinales Valley before returning to Havana. Overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 5: CIENFUEGOS

After breakfast at the hotel, we head towards Cienfuegos, one of Cuba's most beautiful cities. Founded by French settlers in 1819 and included in UNESCO’s protection list in 2005, we will explore the charming city of Cienfuegos. During our visit, we will see Jose Marti Park, Tomas Terry Theater, and the Colegio de San Lorenzo state offices. After our Cienfuegos tour, we continue to Trinidad.

We set out for Villa Santa Clara, the most important front of the Cuban Revolution and where Che Guevara became a legend. We will visit the armored train museum park, which was captured by Comandante Che Guevara and contained almost all of Batista's army’s ammunition, and Parque Vidal, where we can still see bullet marks at the former Hilton Hotel, giving us a closer sense of those times. We will also visit Che Guevara's Mausoleum, where he was buried after being captured and executed in Bolivia on October 9, 1967, and whose remains were brought to Cuba 30 years later. We will also see the monument featuring a copy of Che’s famous farewell letter in cuneiform, along with his statue. After our Santa Clara tour, we head towards Varadero and check into our hotel.
