A corner of paradise
Show maps

We start off in style by saying goodbye to the capital and moving towards the town of Viñales , immersed in a natural park, literally a corner of Eden , a village of a few thousand inhabitants surrounded by the majesty of the green and lush nature, typical of the Caribbean. Cuban cigars are famous all over the world and it is precisely in Viñales that they are produced! We will feel like we are in a scene from a film: us, riding a horse , surrounded by immense tobacco plantations and accompanied by local growers... in short, it will truly be an experience we have never had before! Granted that, in addition to seeing how cigars are grown and produced, we can also buy and enjoy them!

A bit of the sea
Show maps

Today we leave the hinterland to go and enjoy some sea . Just an hour away from Viñales, the white beaches and crystal clear water of Cayo Jutias await us: we are finally in the Caribbean! In the morning we will go to see the Mural de la Prehistoria (the largest outdoor painting in Latin America). Then we will spend the day enjoying the sun and the sea , or taking long walks to reach the mangrove forests that grow directly on the sea: the perfect photographic set for breathtaking stories to make colleagues in the office envious. In the evening we return to Viñales where we can discover the famous Cuban hospitality and take advantage of it to be taught a few salsa steps!

Pinar del Río
Show maps

After recovering our energy with a nice breakfast, we will leave Viñales, and continue our discovery of this Caribbean island. To start the day off in style, our first destination is Pinar del Río , the capital of the province of the same name. Despite not being a very famous tourist destination like Havana or Varadero, the city has its own charm and offers an authentic view of Cuban life .

Pinar del Río is a typical Cuban town with a relaxed atmosphere and colonial architecture. The streets feature colorful buildings, tree-lined squares and a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The city is also known for the production of furniture and handicrafts. One of Pinar del Río's main attractions is the San Rosendo Cathedral , a majestic 19th-century church located in the center of town.

Cuban vibes

We will continue in the early afternoon towards Cienfuegos . Known as "The Pearl of the South" for its architectural beauty and its panoramic position on Cienfuegos Bay. The city has a strong musical tradition, with a large influence of genres such as Cuban son and salsa.

days 5, 6

Trinidad: its colors, the streets of Plaza Mayor and the Forest

The heart of Cuba
Show maps

Today we leave Cienfuegos for our next destination: Trinidad . Here we will spend two days between color and crystal clear sea. The genuine streets of Trinidad, which are enlivened by colorful buildings and the warm welcome of its inhabitants, create an atmosphere that has no comparison: the music will fill our ears and our stomachs will be able to refresh themselves with fish and fresh fruit. These two evenings we could treat ourselves to dinners on the terraces, to enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of the city.

Forest and waterfalls

In the afternoon it's time for adventure! Outside Trinidad, a natural park of rare beauty awaits us: Topes de Collantes . Here the humidity is very high, because we are in the real Cuban jungle , but the experience repays the inevitable sweat: giant butterflies, colorful hummingbirds, tropical plants. We will then head towards Caburnì , a surprising path for its dense vegetation and its views. We will cross the coffee plantations , passing by the traditional houses, up to the waterfall called the Salto del Caburni , full of natural pools in which we can take great dives or even just cool off. In the evening, I return to joyful Trinidad for dinner and... to take some salsa lessons along the lively streets of the centre.

Facilities where we will stay: Hotel Iberostar Trinidad or similar

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, transport from Cienfuegos to Trinidad

Common fund: local transport and any entrance fees

Not included: meals and drinks

day 7

Varadero: tropical paradise!

Caribbean beaches
Show maps

Today's first stop is Santa Clara , a city closely linked to Ernesto Guevara, better known as El Che, Argentine guerrilla, doctor, writer and international icon of the Revolution. Right here, in Santa Clara, El Che defeated the dictator Batista, putting an end to the dictatorship. We will have the opportunity to visit the mausoleum which houses the tombs of Che Guevara and his revolutionary companions and where we can retrace the main stages of Cuba's modern history.

Then the Caribbean beaches await us that we dreamed of looking at the typical photos with white sand, palm trees and crystal clear water: we are in Varadero ! A white sandy beach 22 km long , no one can take away a nice day of relaxation. We only make a small pit stop while we reach it: we can choose to enter the Caves of Saturn or stop at Playa Coral (the coral beach) to do some snorkelling and admire them. Today we 100% enjoy the fantastic beaches and the Cuban sea.

Structures where we will stay: Hotel Melia Las Americas or similar

Included: overnight stay with full board in Varadero, transport from Trinidad to Varadero

Common fund: local transport and any entrance fees

Not included: meals and drinks where not indicated

Cayo Blanco: a full day on a boat!

Day at the beach: Cayo Blanco
Show maps

​In the morning we will leave for Cayo Blanco , where some of the most beautiful beaches on the Cuban coast are located. White sand, turquoise waters, pretty kiosks for drinks and snacks, thatched umbrellas and tall palm trees... here we will have moments of pure relaxation. Transfer round trip by bus, open bar on board, buffet lunch in Cayo Blanco, snorkeling and free time on the beach: in short, we are really enjoying it today! Once back on land, all we have to do is wait for the right moment all together: no one can take a group photo at sunset over the sea!

Structures where we will stay: Hotel Melia Las Americas or similar

Included: overnight stay with full board in Varadero, boat excursion with transfer and lunch

Common fund: any inputs

Not included: meals and drinks where not indicated

day 9

Return to Havana

Return to the capital

Once in Havana, we will enjoy an excellent aperitif on the seafront - the Malecón. The famous seafront is perfect for seeing the pre-revolutionary style of the buildings, and eating something to choose from among the dozens and dozens of restaurants that accompany the walk. For those who want to rest their feet and try a typical experience, just negotiate the price and get on the famous ape-taxis , a sort of motorized carriage that doesn't go faster than 40km/h. Know that in Cuba you don't just drink cocktails: the most popular drink is beer , from the "Fuerte Bucanero" to the lightest, the "Cristal"... and here we can taste them all!

Facilities where we will stay: Hotel Iberostar Parque Central or similar

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, transport from Varadero to Havana

Common fund: local transport and any entrance fees

Not included: meals and drinks

day 10

Discovering the city of Havana

Around Havana

Today we will spend the day discovering the places and history of the Cuban capital. The alternatives are many, our tour certainly cannot miss a stop at the Plaza de la Revolución where the faces of two very famous revolutionaries such as Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos stand out and where the majestic memorial to Jose Martì stands, another fundamental figure for the independence of the Caribbean island. From there we will be able to leave the city center a little further to reach the very particular neighborhood of Fusterlandia created by the artist Josè Fuster, where we will feel like we are entering a fairy tale while we will be surrounded by thousands of colorful mosaics.

The magic of Old Havana

We are ready to return to the heart of the city and enjoy the atmosphere of Habana Vieja, which we will explore on foot: legs on our shoulders and we set off on the walking tour. The entire neighborhood is a UNESCO heritage site and at every corner of the street there will be something to photograph: the typical pre-revolution American cars, the hotels that hosted the Arabian Nights parties during American prohibition, the Bacardi palace where the famous Rum was invented, the Payret cinema, the legendary Floridita restaurant. After walking through the main streets and squares, immersed in five centuries of colonial history reflected in the various architectural styles of Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja and Plaza de la Catedral, we can relax while sipping a good mojito at the Bodeguita del Medio , an iconic place in the city frequented in the past by Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Neruda. We can't leave this island without one last iconic local experience: a 2-hour ride in the colorful vintage cars!

If we are not yet tired of exploring it might be a good idea to reach the nearby Morro Castle , the highest point in the city, to enjoy the last sunset all together and discover the historic Cañonazo ceremony before reaching the restaurant for the last dinner all together.

Facilities where we will stay: Hotel Iberostar Parque Central or similar

Included: overnight stay with breakfast, walking tour of Havana Vieja and 2-hour vintage car tour of the city

Common fund: local transport and any entrance fees

Not included: meals and drinks

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Is the flight included?

Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.

Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

What is the Money Pot and how does it work?

This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!

The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. 

It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.

You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.

The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.

It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.

It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.

If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.

The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.

If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.

Which are the accepeted payment methods?

We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:

1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.

2. Installment payments for certain countries only

If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.

If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.

You can do it directly from your personal MyWeRoad account!
 
Within your booking you will find the "Change Your Trip" section at the bottom right, just underneath your booking details. You will be able to select a different date for the same trip, or a different trip entirely. Whether you are able to change the trip depends on the cancellation terms of your booking. For your original booking if you selected the Private Room, Flexible Cancellation or entered any discount code, gift card or voucher, before confirming the change we will let you know if anything isn't applicable to the new trip and you can decide whether to proceed or not. If you have any issues please do get in touch with the WeRoad team and we'll be able to help. 
 
It's not possible to move to a 'sold out' trip and with any trips that are 'on request' we will need to check availability with our local partners so please do get in touch if you want to move to an 'on request' trip. Please bear in mind that if the trip has the 'final spots' status, there may be no places left in either the male or female room.

How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.

What type of accommodation should I expect on your trips?

In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.

The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

Why do we have the Money Pot on all WeRoad trips?

If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!

Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements! 

It also helps us speed up paymentsimagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.

In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants. 

The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button

which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:

How can I find the flight details of my travel buddies?

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.

However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!

If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

What's the average size and age of a WeRoad group?

In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.

On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.

All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700

Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.  

Who is and what does the Travel Coordinator do?

The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!

You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

Will I share the room?

Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.

How can I be part of the community?

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
