Convento de San Francisco de Asis

Reviewed By mickknap - North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

Up in the old town area ,this old convent is well worth taking a look around ,historical artefacts and some great architechtual woodwork can still be seen,also a small museum with history of the Revolution are situated around the inner courtyard, the best place to head to is up the stairs to the balcony,some nice views of Trinidad,even better take the very tight/small winding staircase up two more floors and then up on to the roof and you get a 360' degree vista of Trinidad and the outskirts up to the countryside,and the coast / sea. great photographic opertunities from up here and a good insight into local Cuban life .Only 2cuc to get in.

Ruinas de Ingenio San Isidro de los Destiladeros

Reviewed By M4637CFchrisw

We stopped by the museo de San Isidro for an afternoon and lucked into having Reinier assigned as our guide. His English (and French) is impeccable-which is fortunate as our español is basic at best. Reinier is informative, engaging and passionate about the subject matter and made the history tour much more interesting and real for us. This is a museum not to be missed if you're visiting Trinidad and Sancti Spiritus province.

Cerro de la Vigia

Reviewed By warwickconway - Adelaide, Australia

The hike up the TV tower was a bit sweaty in the Cuban heat, however it was well worth it. Beautiful views! At the top I met a guy who worked there. He was really friendly and showed me around, let me climb onto a section of the roof and showed me different areas and sites through his binoculars. He was one of three people who work up there, working 24 hours before being rostered off for 2 days. I tipped him a CUC for his time.

Church of the Holy Trinity

Reviewed By 199bradleyk - Victoria, United States

The altar area was beautiful. There were different chapel areas. One had Christ on the cross, and Mary with a spear in her heart. There's a story about how these statues came there.

Iznaga Tower

Reviewed By rongE7234QQ - Hythe, United Kingdom

A great experience, climbing to the top, where you look down on the vultures flying below you! You could feel the tower move slightly when the wind blew. Not too cool if you are weary of heights. Some pretty steep stairs more like a ladder and watch your head for low beams.

Valle de los Ingenios

Reviewed By dianedinky

Took the steam train from Trinidad through the valley. It is not that far a trip in miles but the train is pretty slow so you leave at 9.30am and are not back until just after 3pm. I enjoyed the slow pace though as you got to take in the countryside and everything that was happening outside your window - and could take photos at your leisure. The stops were also nicely varied whereby you could go up the slave watch-tower or just stroll around the stalls/shops at the first one, then experience the living museum sugar mill at the second then have a bit of chill time at the ranch/estate of the last stop or go for a horseback ride if you prefer. Was actually much more to do and see than I had thought.

Palenque de los Congos Reales

Reviewed By cheris266

I spend a lot of time at Palenque, all my friends and musical buddies hang out here too, you'll find great music, great vibes, and a cool chill atmosphere day or eve to see some of Trinidad's best afro cuban drumming and salsa. I am the author of the breath of cuba, and I hang here because it's got the real cuba vibe still flowing.
