Horse-drawn

When anywhere in Cuba people talk about Bayamo, a colonial carriage comes to mind, as it is the most established tradition in the life of the townspeople and in the minds of visitors.
Horse-drawn carriages are part of the history and culture of Bayamo boasting strong socio-cultural roots, not only as a means of transport but also as an artistic element present in serenades, social events and more.
That is why touring the historic center of the city on a horse-drawn carriage is an almost mandatory experience, otherwise it is as if you had not visited Bayamo.The tour includes places of historical and cultural interest such as the the Plaza del Himno, Ventana Luz Vázquez, the first open-field cemetery in the Americas (resting places of many prominent Cuban patriots known as Retablo de los Héroes), the former Carlos Manuel de Céspedes garrison and others. Riding about the streets of this historic city in these iconic horse-drawn carriages, is certainly an invitation most find difficult to refuse.
