Because of this, Trinidad became a quiet and forgotten backwater that was excluded from modernization.
That is why the historic city is untouched and today is home to the best-kept colonial architecture and details in Cuba.

Many people want to know about multi-day tours in Cuba to visit the best and most popular destinations, like Trinidad, Vinales, Cienfuegos, Varadero, and more.
Several international tour companies are unable to offer tours to or in Cuba due to the ongoing sanctions that affect certain markets for Cuba travel.
Civitatis is a UK-based tour company that is able to operate in Cuba and is a huge and trusted tour company for the Spanish-speaking travel world (they have bilingual guides). I have done various tours with Civitatis in Cuba and have always had great experiences.
One of the multi-day tours they offer is a two-day tour of Trinidad and Cienfuegos, an organized tour that I did last year. That was a great experience, with super guides, organization, and transport. This tour includes the best of central Cuba.
