A day-trip to Havana with Joan and his driver was amazing! They both were very friendly, respectful and professional, I felt that I was in good hands (for me as a solo traveller it was very important). I am glad I opted for the private tour because I was able to help local people and got a very unique authentic experience. Joan is a great guide: he speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable, open and ready to answer all questions about history and current events. Highly recommended to anyone!

This is a hidden gem in Matanzas! We spent hours here and had such a great time! We rented paddle boats and relaxed on the beautiful river while enjoying the view of mountains and palm trees. We then rented a boat that is pulled by a seadoo to ride on another side of the river where we got to visit ruins of an old coffee mill and relax in a separate section of the river. We enjoyed lunch at their restaurant, it was really good and amazing for the price. You pay $5 to get in the park and then $4 goes towards your meal. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and I hope this will be a yearly event for us when we visit beautiful Matanzas.

This park sits on to of a hill. It has the Moserrate Chapel and a great view on one side of the whole city of Matanzas, the blue bay and on the other side, the Yumjri Valley. Great place to just relax a get away from the noise of the city. I highly recommend a visit when visiting Matanzas. You can reach it by Taxi and you can negotiate for the taxi to come back to pick you up at a certain hour. It should not cost any more than 4.00 CUC each way. 1 CUC = 1 US Dollar
