Maqueta de Trinidad

Trinidad


Opened in 2014 and encased in the beautifully restored Casa Frias, this scale model of Trinidad's casco histórico displays amazing attention to detail (try to pick out your casa particular – private homestay). A resident guide will fill you in on what's what with a conductor-like stick. Also offers city tours in English and Spanish (CUC$5).

Plans to turn Casa Frias into a full-on cultural center are in the works.
