Day 2 - Exploring Havana
After your breakfast you will be picked up by your guide to have first an optional cigar factory tour, otherwise you will go directly to visit Fusterlandia, a small community on the west side of Havana, though the neighborhood’s actual name is Jaimanitas. The entire district is decorated with murals, ceramic mosaics, and colorful quirky sculptures.
Then you will visit the fisherman village of Cojimar, which inspired Hemingway's 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 favorite place for lobsters.
Then you will be taken to Finca Vigia, his 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 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.

******************
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.
During this tour, your guide will take you around through the historic center where you can admire the Capitol, the Parque Central, the Bacardi Building, the Great Havana Theatre, Obispo street & El Floridita Bar, the Ambus Mundos Hotel, the Plaza de Armas, the Plaza de la Catedral & la Bodeguita del Medio, the Plaza San Francisco de Asis, the Plaza Vieja and many other interesting sites.
He will provide you detailed explanations about the sites you are visiting as well as many useful tips about other things you may want to do during your stay in Havana.
You’ll also have time to enjoy one of the world famous cocktails such as the Cuba Libre, the Daiquiri or the Mojito in one of the bars you will visit.
