The city:

• Trinidad is a small, beautiful colonial Spanish town. A magnificent sandy beach lies just a short bus ride from the town centre.


• At night, the atmosphere is wonderful, with live music and Salsa dancing in almost every corner The town of Trinidad, together with the nearby Valle de los Ingenios, has been one of UNESCOs World Heritage sites since 1988.


• Trinidad, with a population of around 50,000, is one of the best preserved cities in the Caribbean from the time when the sugar trade was the main industry in the region. Nowadays, its main industry is tobacco processing. The older parts of town are well preserved as the Cuban tourism industry sees benefit from tour groups.

Our Opinion

Some tourism is now starting to reach Trinidad, but it is still largely unspoiled. However, being much smaller than Havana and Santiago de Cuba, with fewer students and more difficult to reach, Trinidad is really for students who are a bit more adventurous.
