Ride our truck through the Anamuya mountain and have direct contact with the day to day life in the countryside. Gallop in the outskirts of a lush, tropical countryside paradise. An exciting yet challenging feat for the novice and seasoned horseback rider alike. Cruise across a sugar cane plantation. Witness the traditional way the indigenous people ploughed this crop. Go inside an artisan sugar cane mill, and watch an accurate re-enactment of a colonial-era trapiche (wheel grinder) being pulled by oxen.

Perhaps the best mature, ripe tobacco has been harvested in this land, befitting only the finest cigar brands in the world which use them in their manufacturing process.

Splendid powdery white sand beaches, formidable tidal waves are ideal to catch a wave standing over a boogie board. However, if you are exhausted from a day full of adventure, perhaps you would much prefer to sunbathe and sample of the simple pleasure of island culture, sipping a heartwarming Cuba Libre.
