Trinidad is Cuba’s best preserved colonial city, a unique mix of 1850’s architecture & 1950’s cars that feels frozen in time. Check out some of my favorite things to do in Trinidad.

Trinidad was one of the first Cuban towns founded by the Spanish, growing wealthy from production of sugar cane, cattle, and tobacco (with the help of African slave labor)

The town’s newfound wealth funded extravagant palaces, plazas, and colonial homes for rich plantation owners. Much of the architecture remains, one of the best-preserved historic towns in North America, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
