Coral Beach, Saturn Cave, Boca de Camarioca and Santa Marta

After picking you up at the indicated time from your hotel in Varadero, we'll travel to the first destination of the day: Coral Beach. Let's go!

As soon as we arrive, we'll lend you some snorkelling equipment so you can enjoy the beauty of its waters and watch its numerous fish swimming peacefully at Coral Beach. What a great plan!

Then, we'll arrive at the cenote of Saturn Cave, a spring of crystalline waters. There, you'll be able to enjoy this environment of intense blue colours while swimming and relaxing for an hour. Next stop? Boca de Camarioca, where you'll enjoy the paradisiacal beaches. We'll also teach you how to make a Cuban mojito!

Afterwards, we'll pass by the pristine natural beach of La Conchita and the man-made beach of Plaza Oasis in Varadero. Then, we'll make our way to Santa Marta, where we'll head to a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious traditional lunch accompanied by a typical Cuban cocktail.

Then, feeling refuelled, we'll go on a guided tour of Santa Marta. We'll walk through the historic centre and explore the lively village market, the perfect place to get a taste of rural Cuban life.

Next, we'll visit Casa Naranja, located just 5 minutes from Santa Marta, where we'll round off the experience with a tasting of four Cuban rums. What more could you ask for? We'll also visit El Resplandor, an agroecological farm where we'll visit the home of a local farmer and enjoy a tasting of seasonal fruit.

Finally, we'll stop at Playa Las Américas, one of the best beaches in Varadero, before returning to your hotel after 9 hours.
