Plaza Mayor

Trinidad 62600, Cuba

On a recent trip to Cuba, I came across this local man in Trinidad. He was anxious to pose with his chicken for visitors. Trinidad is one of the finest colonial towns I’ve seen and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can easily walk the cobblestone streets and take in the beautiful pastel colored homes, and plazas of this well preserved town. Since travel has been eased for Americans visiting Cuba, now is a great time to visit Trinidad and the many other attractions of this island nation. Simply book a tour with one of the newly licensed travel companies approved to take Americans to Cuba.
