Explore Havana and Trinidad for FREE!!
If you have ever wanted to do an exhilarating challenge for charity then here is your chance! Meningitis Research Foundation are looking for adventurous people to trek between the World Heritage sites of Havana and Trinidad.
The trek starts in the vibrant capital and UNESCO World Heritage site of Havana. Much of Havana's old quarter remains untouched despite the various wars and revolutions that have taken place over the last 200 years. This trek passes through farms, coffee plantations and fruit plantations. The terrain is undulating, and in parts tough going, but with amazing views and tropical waterfalls to bathe in, it is well worth the effort.
You will visit the city of Santa Clara, famed for the final battle of the Cuban Revolution, the Sierra del Escambray and finally the beautiful city of Trinidad.
For those of you in search of the challenge of a lifetime, Cuba won't fail to leave an indelible mark on you, providing you with memories that will last forever. We currently have some spaces available on the March 2009 event, however, there are also later trips available.
