Trinidad is without any doubt the most beautiful and best maintained colonial city of Cuba, for its exceptional architecture and its historical centre classified since 1988 a "World Heritage Site by UNESCO". This excursion is, above all, for those who are passionate about history and architectural treasures, but also for those who want to see the Cubans, where they live, their lifestyle. All photos (taken in december 2002) are from Karen. Thanks!
