Cuban Revolution Tour

"We were born in a free country that our parents bequeathed to us, and the Island will first sink into the sea before we consent to be the slaves of anyone". These words from Fidel Castro encapsulate the spirit of the Cuban Revolution of the 1950s. We'll tour to experience the history of this significant movement.

The tour will commence in front of the Casa Granda Hotel in Céspedes Park. From there, we'll admire the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba before boarding a classic vintage car. The vehicle will take us to the Palace of the Provincial Government, home of the Emilio Bacardi Museum.

Next, we'll visit the Moncada Barracks, attacked on July 26, 1953, by guerrillas against the Batista regime led by Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, and Abel Santamaría. This event sparked the 26th of July Movement, leading to the Cuban Revolution's triumph on January 1, 1960.

At the barracks, we'll explore the 26th of July History Museum to contextualize the barracks' history and the Revolution. Afterward, we'll take a horse-drawn carriage to the Santa Ifigenia cemetery.

In the cemetery, we'll visit the tomb of Fidel Castro, next to the mausoleum of José Martí. Finally, we will return to the starting point by vintage car, completing the tour in 4 hours.
