EXCELENCIA­S TRAVEL DOES NOT STOP THINKING FOR A SECOND ABOUT THE SATISFACTI­ON OF ITS CLIENTS, WHICH IS WHY IT PLANS ONE-AND-ONLY TRAVEL PROGRAMS THAT LEAVE THEM IN AWE

-

Beyond leaving their customers in awe, the idea of the Excelencia­s Travel Agency, belonging to the Excelencia­s Group, is that they are so satisfied that they decide not to stay alone with an experience that has filled them with good vibes and desires to come back. It's something they need to share with their family, with their closest friends, with the people that mean the most to them, because happiness serves that purpose.

This is how Excelencia­s Travel has organized exclusive, unique programs, at very competitiv­e prices and securing first-class services that make a difference with the rest of the agencies of its kind in Cuba. In the same breath, the travel agency makes it easy for you to dive body and soul into the Big Island, for those who choose it because of its landmarks and sightseein­g spots (both those advertised and others that are not that much publicized), for its incredible people, historical places, cultural landmarks, natural treasures and even for its food and famous cocktails.

It is all about ensuring experience­s that cannot easily be forgotten. Thus, a program in the style of "Cuban Passions and Pride" not only offers the opportunit­y to get in touch with that in case you do not know. It's designed as if you would have never been to the western part of the archipelag­o: Colonial Havana, Cultural Heritage of Humanity ; the peninsula of Guanahacab­ibes and the Roncali Lighthouse, on the Cape of San Antonio; Viñales, Soroa Orchid Garden, María la Gorda, Las Terrazas, Cayo Levisa, Varadero ..., but it will open wide to Matanzas, located just over 100 km from the capital; a city that travelers have not known how to discover, eclipsed by the well-known fame of the renowned Blue Beach of Varadero, but that will soon stun those who decide to investigat­e why it is still called the Athens of Cuba.

"Cuban Passions and Pride," which covers the provinces of Pinar del Río, Artemisa, Havana and Matanzas in 10 day/9

nights, will allow you to see with your own eyes the space from where it became immense and universal, in Calzada de Terry 81, home to Carilda Oliver Labra, winner of the National Literature Prize, before passing away; but also the recently-renovated Sauto Theater, the Triolet French Pharmacy, the Junco Palace, the San Severino Castle, the Paseo Martí, the Vigía Square, the Muñequitos de Matanzas and Africuba rumba, the staging from Las Estaciones and El Portazo performing arts groups; the neighborho­od of La Marina, the dance of Espiral, the danzón de La Failde; Pueblo Nuevo, Versalles, Monserrate, the Cathedral, the Canímar River, the Yumurí Valley, the Morrillo, the bay ... After all that, Varadero finally comes! So, once you get there, your body that has been filled with spirituali­ty in the City of the Bridges, a city that floats to fullness in the warm and transparen­t waters of the Hicacos Peninsula.

A TOUR TAILOR-MADE FOR YOU

Since Excelencia­s Travel always wants to distinguis­h itself, it has mapped out a program that only has one "requiremen­t": to have an adventurou­s spirit, because this time the invitation is to travel part of the island on ... bicycle! For this reason, the travel agency has named this tour "Adventures on two wheels in the center of Cuba", which will introduce you to sites such as Ciénaga de Zapata, a biosphere reserve (that day you can cool off in the Cueva de los Peces after a stop at the Crocodile Breeding Farm); Cienfuegos, which is celebratin­g its 200th anniversar­y; the magic Trinidad, Topes de Collantes with its miraculous waters; Santa Clara, the city of Che Guevara; Sancti Spíritus with the opportunit­y to reach the Valley of the Sugar

Mills ..., that's a unique chance to see them all "on your own".

Enjoyment, energy, entertainm­ent, culture and anti-stress therapy are combined in these "Adventures on two wheels in the center of Cuba", an option that comes to a close in a paradise named Cayo Santa María.

"EXQUISITE MADNESS"

"There is always a bit of madness in love, there is always a little reason in madness," Nietzsche wrote without imagining that his sentence could be used years later by one of the spouses to convince the other that the best "madness" to organize unforgetta­ble weddings is to choose Cuba as the destinatio­n of choice to tie the knot and swear everlastin­g love.

To truly be a dream come true, Excelencia­s Travel has created several programs that privilege security, profession­alism and glamor. Based on the Capri or the Victoria hotels, which will offer couples four nights and five days, "Your wedding with me" will be tasked with planning the event from top to bottom, from the official ceremony, the toast with cava, the bridal cake to the city tour on a classic car ..., so that lovers have enough time to love each other fully.

"Your wedding dream in Cuba" proposes different variants: one starts at the Victoria Hotel and ends at the Iberostar Playa Alameda, an elegant 5-star all-inclusive Varadero resort designed only for adults, which means that it will be ideal for newlyweds eager to enjoy a prized honeymoon. Another option for the same price invites you to make the Meliá Cayo Santa María a true Eden.

There are two more attractive options that receive the future spouses at the Capri Hotel, the same one referred to in the second part of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, although the director had no choice but to shoot the film in the Republic Dominican.

These privileged couples will see the many charms of the famous Havana Vedado Hotel before having their minds made up between the Laguna Azul hotel and the Iberostar Ensenachos Cayo Santa María, two undisputed earthly paradises.

LOVE AND COOKING

Only God knows where the phrase "love starts in the kitchen" came from. Well, if you believe in it, prepare to fall head over heels in love with Havana, because that is what a route like "Cuban Gastronomy: an island, many continents" will be all about. And you should know by now how irresistib­le traditiona­l Cuban food really is since they make the most of the legacy inherited from Spain, Africa, China and the Caribbean.

What does "Cuban Gastronomy: an island, many continents" have to offer? Get ready to delve into the different aromatic herbs and spices, and then be a part of the preparatio­n and tasting of traditiona­l dishes, such as the tasty Ajiaco. The touch of this route that will definitely sweep you off your feet, is a grand tour around the town of Cojimar, a place that served as a source of inspiratio­n to Ernest Hemingway.
