What we'll do

The life of the Nobel prize for literature Ernst Hemingway in Cuba is part of the charms of Havana. Three places marked their existence here, each for different reasons: Old Havana, San Francisco de Paula and Cojímar. From Old Havana he fell in love and found the nightlife he enjoyed so much. In San Francisco de Paula, he found his home, the Finca Vigía, and the peace he needed to write. In Cojímar, he found inspiration and a port from which to exploit his passion. We will visit these three places where we will talk because Hemingway found inspiration in these places

What I'll provide

• Bottle of water. I'll give this to you when we meet.
• Transportation throughout the tour.
• Daiquirí at the end at Floridita

We’ll drive to Cojimar, a picturesque fishing town, to visit the place where he sailed in his boat “Pilar Yatch”.
