Cuba Trek Coast to Coast

Cuba Trek Coast to Coast The Escambray Mountains of central Cuba are home to beautiful, lush vegetation, waterfalls, mango orchards and coffee plantations. Our challenge takes us from the North coast and Havana right through the heart of the island to the South coast and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Trinidad.

This is a challenging trek through remote and rarely-visited regions. We have over 90km ahead of us, with many hills to cross, and that first view of the enticing white sands and blue waters of Trinidad will be highly rewarding! You will not forget Cuba in a hurry!
