Matanzas is a colorful Cuban city and a convenient starting point for organized tours of the surroundings, nearby cities and neighboring areas. Cuba is a long and narrow strip of land that stretches for 1,500 km, and it is from Matanzas that trips to coastal areas and nearby areas are often sent. Here you can easily pick up excursions and trips in different formats: from short walks around the city to visits to neighboring areas and nearby areas; if desired, more distant routes are organized, but most importantly - local impressions.
In Matanzas itself and its surroundings, excursions are introduced to the urban atmosphere, colonial architecture, embankments and historical quarters. In urban and suburban routes, jeep rides to the main points, sightseeing tours of the old streets and visits to local sites where authentic life is felt are popular. Such routes allow you to see the key places of the city and its surroundings without unnecessary transfers, with live stories from guides.
Nature around Matanzas attracts diversity: coastal beaches, bays and coastal landscapes create conditions for a relaxing holiday on the shore, and for active trips. In the surrounding areas there are quiet coves, mangrove areas and green coastal areas where you can arrange walking, bird watching or short hikes with children and adults. For activity lovers, sea and coastal routes within the radius of nearby areas are available.
A special place is occupied by thematic routes with tastings and acquaintance with crafts: meetings with local craftsmen, visits to small farms and craft workshops in the suburbs, ethno excursions with live music and cultural presentations. There are programs with tastings of local drinks and products from manufacturers, as well as relaxation programs and activities for recuperation - all this in the format of local walks and trips to the nearest territories.
The formats of the organization vary: individual routes for families and couples, group excursions, hiking in the neighborhood and car trips are available, including jeep routes along little-known trails. Local guides are valuable for their author’s programs: they create unique trips and excursions to neighboring areas, discover hidden points and share stories that you will not find in standard guidebooks.
