Central Cuba
The ‘soul of Cuba’, as this central region is often called, is accessed via a good six lane motorway running along the backbone of the island to just beyond Sancti Spiritus, where another main road, the Carretera Central, continues to Santiago de Cuba in the east, giving plenty of opportunity to see the many authentic sights of the region. It is characterised by rolling landscape, typical thatched huts ('bohios'), ox-drawn ploughs, dramatic mountains and picturesque colonial towns, home to many architectural reminders of Cuba’s rich past.
How to reach Central Cuba
Central Cuba can be reached by pre-booked self-drive car hire from Havana, Varadero or eastern Cuba. Alternatively, you can choose to take one of our private or shared transfers or take a domestic flight from Havana to Camaguey.
