HOW TO GET TO TRINIDAD

Maps of Trinidad are available online but to get to Trinidad Cuba one has to go by road as there are no regular flights from Havana to Trinidad. Only a few charter flights from Canada land in the nearby Cienfuegos airport. The drive from Havana is a bit long but the last hour along a seaside road is quite fascinating. In Trinidad city you have the 3 star Las Cuevas hotel on top of a hill with great views over the surroundings. Under the hotel there is a cave system which can be visited with a qualified guide. The hotel to be recommended is the brand new Iberostar Trinidad 5 stars. The stylish interior decorating in the colonial building makes you feel like in a Trinidad mansion of a rich sugar baron. The hotel is located right at the municipal square at walking distance of the colonial Parque Mayor. If you prefer a beach stay you can find 3 all inclusive hotels at the beach of Ancon at 15 km from the city centre: the 3 stars stars Ancon and Costasur, and the 4 stars Brisas Trinidad al Mar. An ecological choice can also be the Ma Dolores, at the entrance of Trinidad coming from Cienfuegos. Here you find comfortable lodges at the Guanayabo river.

PLACES TO VISIT

The best-preserved colonial city in Cuba, in the shadow of the Escambray mountains, Trinidad was not even linked by road to the rest of the country until the 1950s.
Declared a national monument by the Cuban government this city is very much as it was four centuries ago, the beauty of its baroque architecture and cobblestones squares harking back to a bygone era when Trinidad was a key player in the Caribbean slave trade.


BAYAVO BRIGE
Built in the early 19th century, this Roman-style bridge symbolizes the city of Sancti Spíritus and the province. The town’s 17th-century Iglesia Parroquial Mayor (Major Parish Church) is the oldest church in Cuba and a good example of Spanish-Arab influence.

San José de Lago
Thousands of families were founded here by emigrants from the Canary Islands; most of them later engaged in tobacco growing, keeping their traditions alive.

Valle de los Ingenios
East of Trinidad are the ruins of some 70 centuries-old sugar mills. The stunning, 146-foot-high Iznaga Tower, built around 1840, looms over the valley as a reminder of days when slaves worked the cane fields and the mills.

Ermita de la Popa
(the Popa Hermitage). Inspired by Spanish maritime tradition, this church was built centuries ago on the road up to La Vigía in Trinidad so that it could be seen from the sea.
