Continuing our journey, at noon we will arrive at Puerto Esperanza, situated right by the sea. The town seems to be frozen in a past time since it has not been affected by tourism, so we will have the chance to get an insight into a real Cuban village with its typical colonial houses. The city bridge had a very important function in the 1800's because it was used to transport all the gold that was mined in this region. Gold digging and trading boomed and this is the reason why Cuba's second train line leads to Puerto Esperanza. Nowadays production of tobacco and fishing are the main industries of the village. Here we will have lunch together at a cosy restaurant. Your afternoon is free. You can either relax after the first stage of your trip, or you can discover the town by foot or even explore the unique countryside on a horse back.
