Reasons to choose Ramble Worldwide Small groups Travelling in a small group is one of the most enjoyable and sociable ways to explore the world. Our guests come from all walks of life and ages, united by a love of walking and discovering new places. Around half of each group are solo travellers, and average group sizes sit at around 14 people. Smaller groups let us step off the beaten track with confidence, exploring places you might hesitate to visit alone while feeling far less conspicuous than in a larger group. We also offer flexibility to shape your holiday around your needs: solo travellers can choose a single room or, where hotels charge a supplement, opt to share a twin with another guest of the same sex to avoid extra cost. Mealtimes are relaxed, friendly moments to chat through the day and look ahead, and on trips where meals aren’t fully included, our leaders are always on hand with recommendations and support so you’re never left to figure things out alone.

While some days may involve shorter distances or less ascent/ descent, the overall effort required is generally higher.
These are our most challenging trips, featuring demanding mountain walking with long, rewarding ascents, descents, and possibly some scrambling. A good level of fitness, stamina, a head for heights, and prior experience with mountain walking are essential.

Unveiling ‘Cuba with the Locals’
Cuba is a truly unique, enigmatic, vibrant, and colourful country where salsa music pulses through its very essence. Rich in history, it’s a place where the old and new converge as the nation adapts to the end of the Castro era. Though change is gradual, it’s inevitable, making this an ideal time to experience Cuba’s unique charm before it transforms. Lush coffee and tobacco plantations around the Viñales Valley, tropical mountain forests and wildlife, as well as the colonial cities of Cuba’s prerevolution days and the golden sand beaches... Cuba has it all. We stay in a mix of hotels and casas particulares so that you can truly experience the real Cuba. Casas particulares are private homestays that offer an uncensored view of everyday Cuban life. As these casas tend to be small, our groups are limited to 14 people. Often misunderstood, this vibrant country offers far more than its wellworn stereotypes suggest. While the country may appear frayed at the edges, it’s brimming with life, rich in natural beauty, and pulsating to a convivial soundtrack that can captivate any traveller.
Discover
Although the country is changing quickly, it’s not the easiest place to navigate on your own. It’s the sort of place where access to expert knowledge and local insight make all the difference. Our local guide can lead you to celebrated sights
and quiet corners for a complete and authentic experience. A guided walking tour through Old Havana is an immersion into the city’s high-spirited atmosphere. As you stroll through the bustling plazas, past historic monuments, and into tucked-away bookshops and crowded bars, the sound of salsa and rumba spills out onto the streets. The faded grandeur of colonial-era architecture adds a sense of timelessness, while the classic ‘50s Cadillacs cruising through the crumbling streets evoke a bygone era. The charm of Cuba extends beyond its cities. In the Viñales Valley, walk through a landscape dotted with craggy mogotes (limestone monoliths) and the country’s finest tobacco plantations. You might see oxen ploughing the fields or cigar-chewing guajiros (country folk) going about their day. Nature-filled hikes in the Escambray Mountains take you through jungle-carpeted slopes with clear natural pools and waterfalls. Wild banana trees, magnolia blooms, and fragrant butterfly jasmine all compete with the rich, earthy scent of coffee

plants... a feast for the senses. Keep an eye out for wild orchids, woodpeckers, and bee hummingbirds, or even the Cuban tody and colourful tocororo. Cuban cuisine is a vibrant fusion of Latin and Caribbean influences that offers guests a taste of the island’s rich culinary traditions. From fresh diced mango and fried sweet plantains to mojo-marinated chicken and smooth black beans, the flavours are as colourful as the island itself. Refreshing sugar cane juice and rum-infused cocktails are must-try beverages, especially when enjoyed overlooking Havana’s soulful Malecón on a balmy evening. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Trinidad is a perfectly preserved mid-19th-century sugar town encircled by lush green mountains. Described as Cuba’s oldest outdoor museum, its pastel-hued houses, cobbled streets, arts and crafts markets, and exciting live music scene offer a snapshot of Cuba’s historical and cultural richness. This Cuban experience is one not to miss.

Don’t just take our word for it ★★★★★ I have been travelling with Ramble Worldwide for many years and have always found them to provide interesting and enjoyable holidays, and their organization to be very pleasant, straightforward, and efficient.
The Customer Service Representative was very efficient and helpful. He ensured that the holiday I booked fitted my walking requirements completely and he answered all of my questions thoroughly. As a result, I know that I have booked the right holiday to suit my walking ability.
Booking was effortless and very professional I made a last minute reservation but this was not a problem and a single room was guaranteed for me. I had immediate confirmation and frequent communication about my booking.
