If you have the time to venture further afield. Just a half-hour taxi ride from Parque Central, you can laze on Caribbean beaches, breeze through parks and gardens or soak up the frenzy of a baseball match. To experience rural Cuba, you can easily slot in a well-organized overnight excursion at a tourist office, but it is no trouble to hop on a bus and do it independently. Viñales is a rural idyll in the heart of the best tobacco growing area, with mogotes – steep-sided limestone mountains – providing a Chinese flavour to the landscape. Overnighting in Trinidad is not to be missed. About five-hour bus ride away, you travel through fields of sugar and cattle up into the Sierra de Guamuhaya and along the south coast to reach this most precious of colonial towns.
