Cuba
Trinidad is a well preserved colonial town, with much to do around. We went on a local tour (can't remember contact - sorry!) on horseback into the forest; to a waterfall. We then swam in the waterfall's plunge pool, which was amazing.
When horseriding in Trinidad, you'll be taken up and down hills affording a great view of the coast, then across the plains and finally up a stream that leads to a waterfall in the glades where you can have lunch. No experience is necessary, the horses are docile, easy to 'steer', and you're allowed to go at full gallop whenever you feel like it. Plus it's an easy way to see some rural villages. Lastly, Trinidad itself is beautiful - the ideal antidote to the stress of Havana.
Walk to highest point in Trinidad for a bit of horse riding.
Trinidad is about 3 hours south-east of Havana.
