KE Adventure

• A School Adventure of Island fun in the Caribbean
• Havana`s seafront promenade of the Malecon and its colonial architecture
• The spectacular limestone `mogotes` landscape of the Vinales area
• Swimming and snorkelling on the paradise island of Cayo Levisa

Cuba is the biggest island in the Caribbean, with a landscape of picturesque, rolling lowlands, limestone hills and endless tropical, white-sand beaches. We start our School Adventure in the capital city of Havana, which is memorable for its faded, but glorious Spanish colonial architecture and its colourful 40-year-old classic American cars. Heading to the south coast, we visit the Bay of Pigs and the colonial cities of Cienfuegos and Trinidad, before continuing our tour westwards to the lovely ‘Garden Province' of Pinar del Rio. Travelling through this welcoming country, we stop off to trek on forest trails, swim in natural pools, visit a tobacco factory and check out the Che Guevara memorial at Santa Clara. Although we have tried to include as much walking as possible, this trip is also about experiencing Cuba's great variety and our day of relaxation on the ‘paradise' island of Cayo Levisa makes a fitting finale to an excellent trekking based tour. Cuba is a great place to practise the Spanish language - the people are friendly and approachable and welcome the opportunity to speak to visitors to their country.
