Today we leave Santiago behind for a full days drive towards Santa Clara, the home of Ché’s Mausoleum, where we break our journey and spend the night.
This stop allows us to visit one of Cuba’s most famous revolutionary landmarks. The museum will be closed when we arrive however we will visit it in the morning before heading to Vinales.

Santa Clara was chosen as the location in remembrance of Guevara's troops taking the city on December 31, 1958, during the Battle of Santa Clara. The result of this final battle of the Cuban Revolution was Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista fleeing into exile.
Nearby, in another part of the city, a Fulgencio Batista military supply train derailed by Guevara during the battle also remains in its original location.
