The soul of the streets
Head south from Havana to the Bay of Pigs—site of the 1961 invasion and part of the Zapata Swamp, Cuba’s largest natural reserve and a haven for wildlife. Your guide brings the Cold War episode into focus while you experience landscapes far from the capital.
Stop first at Cueva de los Peces, a 70-metre-deep cenote popular with swimmers and snorkelers spotting tropical fish. Hammocks line the crystal-clear pool while the nearby coast promises more aquatic adventure. Visit Playa Girón’s museum for a tangible sense of the skirmish that unfolded within rifle-firing distance of the beach—artifacts and photographs document the battle room by room. After lunch, finish at Punta Perdiz, where fish-tank-clear water leads from shore to coral reefs and tropical marine life (snorkeling gear included).
