Near Caibarién, an open-air museum with old locomotives from around 1900 beckoned — a stop, wild and nostalgic, before we continued on to Remedios, a contrast between past and journey. The locomotives were cool to look at, and some actually seemed still operational, raw and impressive.

An unforgettable ride

From afar, an old locomotive approached with tourists from Remedios. A chat with the two train drivers led to us riding back in the cab of a 1914 locomotive — a close-up look at their work in the heat, a spectacle of effort and tradition. Back in Caibarién, we drove on to Remedios, one of the most beautiful towns of our trip — small, manageable, not yet overrun, with a cozy atmosphere and some charming corners.
