Hotel Las Cuevas (The Caves Hotel), founded on May 20th of 1956, is sited on an elevation, with a group of caves that form an extraordinary labyrinth of stalagmites and stalactites and, so I am told, are full with spells and legends of the colonial time.
For many years the motel-style Las Cuevas, on the hill overlooking Trinidad and near the Sugar Mills Valley, both declared World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1988, was the only hotel in town. The location offers the advantage of receiving refreshing breezes, and the views over town towards the Caribbean Sea are no less refreshing.
However, it's a stiff walk up and down the hill to and from town, and the distance barely justifies a taxi. It is a ten minutes drive to visit Ancon and Maria Aguilar beaches.
When not exploring Trinidad's important historical-cultural sites such as the Major Square, Santa Ana’s Church, and the Romantic and Municipal museums, guests can lounge by the circular pool further up the hill. The pool is served by a snack bar and open-air games room, plus there's a gift shop.
The Las Cuevas Hotel main building features the buffet restaurant, where live musicians sometimes do the rounds. The high point is the nightly cabaret, and its just a short (but disconcertingly dark and lonely) stroll to the hotel's disco inside the eponymous caverns. The hotel also has a tennis court, parking lot, medical services, money exchange, car & motorcycle rental, children’s swimming pool and tourist bureau.
Accommodation is in 110 rooms in duplex bungalows tiered upon the hillside. Though recently refurnished with floral fabrics, they're still a tad dowdy and uninspired with their simply rattan and bamboo furniture. Three have king-size beds. Bathrooms, however, have modern fittings and all rooms have satellite TVs.

The Museum of Archeology Guamuhaya, founded on May 15th 1976, in a beautiful mansion on the west side of the Plaza Mayor traces pre- and post-Columbian history. It exhibits in chronological order through 8 rooms objects belonging to the aborigines living in the South Central Region of the island of Cuba during the precolumbus era, as well as material evidence of the Colonial period of very diverse origin and a bill from the city of Trinidad and Valle de los Ingenios. Some of these objects are considered unique in Cuba.
Canchánchara is one of the oldest buildings in Trinidad, and combined architectural styles from the 18th and 20th centuries. There's frequently a live band playing in the shady patio, and there are always plenty of soft drinks, cold beer, and such Cuban cocktails as the mojito and the local specialty canchánchara (rum, lime juice, and honey) that will give you the energy to dance and enjoy the Cuban rhythms found in the place.
Although the city's cathedral was consecrated in 1892, the building took the better part of the 19th century to complete (it was built to replace the 17th-century church that was destroyed by a hurricane). The structure shows a neoclassic architectural style. Its interesting interior is replete with a dozen hardwood altars that date from the early 20th century and various colonial icons. Besides it preserves the famous Christ of Vera Cruz, and an altar – the only one of this kind in Cuba devoted to the Virgin of Mercy.
