“In Horse Carriage to El Pilón Waterfall” Tour

We have designed this tour to offer the visitor an experience where history and nature are mixed. This experience is a beautiful interaction with our culture in rural areas where the landscape and history make it an unforgettable memory.

The tour begins with a brief walk through the lower part of the historical city center until arriving at Los Dos Cañones, where a military fortification used to be located, today it has an important archaeological and historical value. There you will find the horse carriage and its driver, a highly qualified person for this excursion.

During the trip through the trails the client will enjoy the typical fauna of the pre mountain area, where the tocororo, the cotorra, the zunzún etc. live, which have a colorful plumage and happy trills. We will visit the ruins of one of the first sugar mills built in Trinidad, and learn about the life of the ancient slaves of the place.

We will visit a Cuban hut to learn about the life and customs of Cuban farmers, in this place you will be able to consume a coffee and a local tobacco. (Optional not included). The whole landscape represents the perfect opportunity for photography lovers.
