Viva la revolución with Chapters Experience Holidays 'Colourful Cuba'
Celebrated on July 26, the National Revolutionary Festival is held in Cuba to celebrate the day in 1953 when Fidel Castro came to power, shaping the country and its people into the vibrant destination that it is today. Appreciating that immersing yourself in local life can literally open the door to a more enriching holiday, why not get into the spirit of this upbeat nation on a Chapters Experience Holidays 'Colourful Cuba’ holiday?
Taking in historical sites such as Fidel Castro’s command centre in the hills above Bayamo and Santa Clara - the home to Che Guevera’s memorial, the 16 day holiday also includes the new opportunity of staying with local families in their private homes. Known as ‘Casa Particulares’, the equivalent of a Cuban homestay or B&B, it is an ideal way of getting to know your hosts, join in traditional homemade meals and get a real insight into everyday Cuban life.
In addition, the trip includes a hike through the Sierra del Escambray mountains with a visit to the old slave plantation Finca Codina and three days in the fertile del Rosario Mountains exploring the rare Karst rock formations of the Viñales Valley, an area surrounded by traditionally tended tobacco and pineapple plantations. There is also time in Havana to grab one of the iconic 1950’s taxis, dabble in some cigar making and simply watch the world go by, sipping a refreshing Mojito, to an uplifting backdrop of toe-tapping Cuban sounds.
