The old town of Trinidad is located in the heart of Cuba. Its colonial style will charm you right away. Walk the streets to admire colorful buildings, museums filled with history and the Church of the Holy Trinity. During your stay, don't forget to visit the historic center of Plaza Mayor and the El Cubano Nature Reserve Park, both listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. There are a few nice beaches nearby as well.
Plaza Mayor is one of the city’s most important gathering place. Gardens, terracotta-colored buildings and pretty statues, including Terpsichore's, considered as the "Muse of Dance", are some of the things you will see there. This place was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. During your visit, you can admire the most important houses in the area, including the Casa de Aldemán Ortiz, the Casa de los Sánchez Iznaga and the Casa de los Conspiradores, recalling all the colonial architecture of the city.
We strongly suggest that you visit one of Trinidad's many museums. The Romantic Museum invites you to visit the sumptuous home of Count Brunet. At the Colonial Art Museum, you will admire a luxurious house adorned with porcelain vases and magnificent stained glass windows. History fans should go to the Archaeological Museum and the General Municipal Museum to get a glimpse of the city’s past.
Trinidad is home to a magnificent nature reserve, El Cubano Park. On site, it is possible to hike the Huellas de la História trail, which is over 3 km long, up to the pretty Javira waterfall. There you can admire the magnificent scenery while going for a swim. Nothing more refreshing!
There are a few beaches close to Trinidad where you can soak up the sun. Playa Ancon is a small paradise of fine sand. It is indeed considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Cuba. For a more intimate beach, go to Playa Maria Aguilar, a perfect place to go diving or relax. Finally, La Boca, a rockier beach, is quite nice as well. In the distance, you can see the Escambray region’s mountain range.
