Trinidad is one of the most popular excursions for foreigners visiting Cuba. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located just a few hours from Havana. Now you can learn how to explore this wonderful place for yourself, on your next trip to Cuba.

This book is not a "tourist guide". It is not a boring list of restaurant reviews and attractions, like all the other guides.

With this book, you will learn about the authentic, local places. Locations which are hidden to regular tourists. Naturally, these places are also inexpensive. So, in effect, you will be immersed in authentic Cuban life, while saving money at the same time.

BONUS: The last section of this book includes the Cheap Casa Particular Guide. You will find listings and reviews of over 30 apartments and rooms to rent in Havana. These casas particulares have been selected out of the thousands available in the city. They are not only the most affordable, but also among the cleanest, best maintained, and best located. The hosts are hospitable and speak multiple languages. You get the full contact information for these casas. For your convenience, you can book your stay online (www.BestCubaGuide.com) and you will never pay any expensive brokerage or middlemen fees. You are certain to save at least $5 to 10$ per night in brokerage fees. That alone is easily worth the purchase price of the Real Havana guide.
