On this tour, we'll discover the rich history of sugar, rum, and tobacco in Cuba. It's the perfect opportunity to try the country's three most traditional products!

Cuban Products Tour

After picking you up from your hotel at the indicated time, we'll visit the Azúcar y el Vapor "José Smith Comas" Museum, where we'll witness a demonstration of how sugar cane is cut by hand. We will learn about the sugar production process and enjoy a tasting of sugar cane juice "guarapo".

Next, we'll board a steam train from the early 20th century to Cárdenes station. Our next stop is the Ron Arrechavala Factory, known as the birthplace of Havana Club Rum, where we will learn about the distillation and ageing processes of this drink.

After the museum, we will have lunch at a restaurant with fresh ingredients, followed by a panoramic tour around Varadero to admire the countryside and attractions before arriving at Casa del Ron. Here, we'll learn about the history and fabrication process of Cuban rum and try a selection of rums and creamy liquors.

The tour continues in Las Morlas Square, discussing the importance of Cuban tobacco. We will observe how cigars are rolled, and you can make your own if desired. You'll have free time in the square for souvenir shopping and to enjoy the local atmosphere.

To conclude this tour, we will drop you back at your accommodation in Varadero after 10 hours of activity.
