Hello,
Again thank you for considering traveling with us to Habana. It is truly one of our favorite destinations, and I hope it will be one of your as well.
I have put together a high level plan/proposal for your trip. A couple options for accommodation, and a list of activities that can be planned for a 4 nights/5 days trip. With this plan, you will be able to experience the city and its art, visit tabaco plantations and a rum factory, and simply enjoy your time in Cuba.

Viñales is a complete paradise ready to welcome visitors, and what better way to explore it than on a horse. Leave the house early in the morning, and be welcomed in Viñales by our local guide who will have your horses ready. Some of the options are visiting tabaco plantations, learn about beekeeping in the area, swim in a local lake, ride near the famous mogotes, and more. You decide the route.
