Updated: 09 Feb 2012

Tourism officials like to say Trinidad is a museum in itself. Those visiting the 500-year-old city will find Spanish colonial architecture, underscoring a colonial ambiance that marks the tiny city one of the country's greatest attractions. Only a few square blocks in size, historic Trinidad is famous for its lovely, cobblestone streets, pastel coloured houses with elaborate wrought-iron grills, as well as beautiful palaces and plazas. The city can be toured in a few hours, by foot or by horse-drawn carriage. The city is located near both the Escambray Mountains and the Caribbean coast. One of the area's interesting sights is the Valley of the Sugar Mills, which has been declared a World Heritage Site. The valley has around 70 long-standing sugar mills which are a reminder of the importance of sugar to the Cuban economy over the centuries. It has la Torre Iznaga, a 45 meter tower built by Alejo Iznaga Borrell in 1816. Twenty km from the city is Topes de Collantes, one of Cuba's premier ecotourism centres. Another attraction is the Casilda Bay, which attracts both snorkelers and divers. A nearby islet has pristine beaches. Ancon Beach is a white sand beach which was one of the first new resorts to be developed in Cuba following the 1959 revolution. Along the Ancon Peninsula are three hotels: Hotel Costa Sur (South Coast Hotel), Hotel Ancon and Brisas Trinidad del Mar (opened in 2002) There are several world class casas de musica, and every night next to the church in plaza ...

Find out more about this Trek at www.charitychallenge.com or for Canadians at www.charitychallenge.ca Your trek starts in the vibrant capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site of Havana. Much of Havana's old quarter remains untouched despite the various wars and revolutions that have taken place over the last 200 years. Once out of Havana, things are generally quieter and more easygoing. But for you, this is where your challenge begins. You will be trekking for four days, for between 6 to 7 hours a day, passing farms, coffee plantations and fruit plantations. The terrain is undulating, and in parts tough going, but with amazing views and tropical waterfalls to bathe in, it is well worth the effort. You will visit the city of Santa Clara, famed for the final battle of the Cuban Revolution, the Sierra del Escambray and finally the beautiful city of Trinidad. Watch this film about the Escambray Encounter challenge for a taster of what you can expect.

Capture and execution The hunt for Guevara in Bolivia was headed by Félix Rodríguez, a CIA agent, who previously had infiltrated Cuba to prepare contacts with the rebels in the Escambray Mountains and the anti-Castro underground in Havana prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion, and had been successfully extracted from Cuba afterwards. The Bolivian Special Forces were notified of the location of Guevara's guerrilla encampment by an informant. On 8 October, the encampment was encircled, and Guevara was captured while leading a detachment with Simeón Cuba Sarabia in the Quebrada del Yuro ravine. According to some soldiers present at the capture, during the skirmish as they approached Guevara, he allegedly shouted, "Do not shoot! I am Che Guevara and worth more to you alive than dead."

Go to www.codecuba.com to see more Cuba Video. This high definition Trinidad travel video was shot in Cuba in 2010. The video features images from the Trinidad area and includes shots of Playa Ancon's all inclusive beach hotels and resorts. La Boca and the Valle de los Ingenios are all so featured. The video begins in the heart of Trinidad at the Plaza Mayor. This historic city centre is home to a number of colonial mansions and museums that document the history of the area. Video from the plaza resembles that of an outdoor living museum. The Palacio Cantero houses the Museo Historico Municipal, a museum that features prominently in the video and includes both interior and exterior shots. The view from the watchtower is spectacular. Looking north from the tower we see the Sierra del Escambray Mountains. Having traveled from Santa Clara to Trinidad we show the viewers just how rough and steep this area is and have advised viewers to think twice before driving this route. South of Trinidad is Playa Ancon where three all inclusive beach resorts are located on what is arguably the best beach on the south coast of Cuba. Individual videos from these resorts will be uploaded to the codecuba website soon. La Boca located 5 kilometers southwest of Trinidad is another area that we are producing a video for. This small seaside town boasts first rate Casa's and the sunsets are amazing. The video finishes up with a short tour of the Manaca Iznaga plantation located in the Valle de los ...
