Pearl of the Caribbean, a true urban museum 'Trinidad'

I've finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door - Trinidad, Cuba🇨🇺! 🔶🔶🔶Trinidad, a small town in Cuba, is one of the 100 disappearing beautiful sights on Earth. It is known for its well-preserved elements from the Spanish colonial period, its architecture with a strong neoclassical Baroque style, and its long-standing traditions, making Trinidad a true urban museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. How to get there from Havana❓ 🚍You can take a bus, charter a car, share a ride, or ride in a classic car. The journey takes about 4-5 hours and costs approximately 25-40 US dollars. What to do❓ ◾️The city centers around Plaza Mayor, with streets full of Spanish colonial architecture. You can stroll through the old cobblestone streets or take a horse-drawn carriage to visit the neighborhoods and admire the ancient buildings and colorful houses, experiencing the unique charm of the city. ◾️Trinidad has countless well-preserved courtyard houses with a strong local flavor. The century-old house I stayed in felt like traveling back to the last century. ◾️Climb up the museum tower to overlook the panoramic view of Trinidad town. The scenery is beautiful and not to be missed. ◾️Ancon Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Trinidad, with clear waters and white sands, is an area that has not been overdeveloped. ◾️The waterfall of El Nicho is the highest in Trinidad, a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. 🌟Tips👇: Cuba is a country with underdeveloped internet services. You need to buy a local internet card and go to a place with a signal to connect (like the center of a plaza/hotel lobby). Everyone gathers to use the internet, so the more people, the worse the signal. Therefore, be sure to download offline maps and the apps you need in advance.
