Havana, Vinales and Trinidad
Cuba
Cuba, the largest island in the Antilles archipelago, is strikingly beautiful—its capital, Havana, a city of faded grandeur, where timeworn buildings tell stories of resilience and charm. Night panorama at the end of 8 km long Malecon road.
Universidad de la Habana
Located in Havana’s Vedado district since 1902, the University of Havana offers a striking view from the outside—its grand main steps leading up to the iconic Alma Mater monument, a symbol of wisdom and learning watching over generations of students.
The University of Havana’s historic Plaza Cadenas is home to key academic landmarks, including the Rectorate, the Central Library, and the Faculty of Law—an iconic space where tradition and intellectual life converge in the heart of the city.
Malecon after storm
During storms in Havana, the Malecón is closed to cars but remains open to pedestrians. Waves crash over the seawall, flooding the road with puddles. Along the wet pavement and stone, you’ll find seaweed and even the Portuguese man o’ war washout from ocean.
After a storm, the Malecón in Havana takes on a dramatic, windswept beauty. Near the Monumento Artístico Nacional, waves still linger in scattered puddles, and salt clings to the air. This stretch of the seawall, marked by the sculpture and its weathered charm, is also a popular spot for locals—it’s one of the places where you can connect to a public internet hotspot, making it a unique blend of old Havana spirit and modern connection.
Paque Central
At night, the Gran Teatro de La Habana “Alicia Alonso” and the Capitolio glow with elegance and grandeur. Bathed in warm, golden light, their intricate facades stand out against the dark Havana sky. The theatre’s ornate architecture sparkles with detail, while the Capitolio’s majestic dome reflects the city’s historic pride. Together, they create a breathtaking view—an iconic corner where art, politics, and history meet under the night’s quiet gaze.
Plaza de la Catedral
With its stunning 18th-century cathedral, feels almost surreal at night—empty and silent, without the usual bustle of tourists or local artists displaying their colorful paintings. The absence transforms the square into a quiet, echoing space where the old stones seem to breathe history under the dim glow of streetlights
Los Albatros de Varadero
The view over the Entrance Canal to Havana Port at night is calm and hauntingly beautiful. With no ships in sight, the dark waters stretch silently between the glowing outlines of Morro Castle and La Punta. The stillness is broken only by the distant shimmer of city lights reflecting on the surface—a quiet gateway holding centuries of seafaring history in its depths.
Viñales Valley
Viñales Valley, nestled in western Cuba’s Pinar del Río province, is a stunning landscape of lush tobacco fields, dramatic limestone mogotes, and tranquil rural life. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the valley offers a timeless view of Cuba’s agricultural traditions, with ox-drawn plows, rustic farmhouses, and vibrant greenery stretching beneath wide, open skies. It’s a place where nature and culture coexist in quiet harmony.
Trinidad
Trinidad de Cuba at night, without people, feels like stepping into a preserved moment from the past. The cobblestone streets glisten under the soft glow of colonial-era lanterns, and the pastel-colored facades of 18th-century buildings stand silent and still. With no footsteps echoing and no music drifting from plazas, the town takes on a dreamlike calm—timeless, quiet, and hauntingly beautiful.
