Day 2 - Exploring Havana
After your breakfast you will be picked up by your guide to start the private Old Havana walking tour.
Old Havana has been designated a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1982. Remodeling is occurring slowly, so while some buildings are excellently restored to their original glory, others have taken on their own look by being left to age naturally, virtually neglected since the Revolution triumphed more than 50 years ago.

Ernest Hemingway Tour
First you will visit the fisherman village of Cojimar (which inspired his best seller "The old man and the sea") where you can see the memorial built in his honor and, if you want, you can have a lunch at "La Terraza restaurant", Hemingway's favourite place for lobsters.
Then you will be taken to Finca Vigia, Hemingway's country home in Cuba, where he spent twenty-one of his most productive years becoming a titan of English literature. His house remains just as it was when he lived in it. You’ll see his eclectic personal objects, thousands of books, manuscripts, and photographs, as well as some animal trophies, bagged on his frequent safaris.
At the end of the Finca Vigia tour you will be dropped off at your accommodation to freshen up and get ready for your last evening in Havana.
Around 8.00 pm - you will be picked up again by your guide to reach the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, an 18th-century fortress on Havana's harbor, where you will attend the "cañonazo ceremony".
The cañonazo itself is the firing of a cannon over the bay at exactly 9.00 pm, but leading up to it... there is a really interesting ceremony featuring actors dressed in 18th century military garb.
