Adventure can be anything outside of the day-to-day. It doesn't have to mean white-water or bungy, but can be about the destination, the activity, the company you're in, the wildlife you see, the cultures you visit. Relaxed or full-on is your choice.

Latin rhythms permeate the streets of Havana, Trinidad and Cienfuegos leaving our feet tapping. In Vinales Valley, with its picturesque limestone karsts, the smell of cigars hangs in the air as we learn how Cuba's finest exports are carefully rolled by hand, meticulous attention paid to each one. There is plenty of time for snorkelling and sunbathing when we take an (optional) catamaran trip along the Caribbean coast. In Trinidad, musicians at the famous Casa de la Trova ('house of music') gather each night, providing the perfect introduction to Cuban salsa. Practice all week and then perfect your moves in a salsa lesson with a local dance partner - a farewell night out to remember in vibrant Havana!
