Santa Clara is a pretty small town but has lots of historical significance since it was the site where che guevara ambushed a train full of munitions bound for Havana. The ambush was the deal breaker for the triumph of the revolution.

There are no real 'organised tours' for travelers although the local tourist office can arrange group tours for parties of 10 or more. For solo travelers or small numbers go and see Bernal at the local tourist office. He speaks excellent english and knows a lot about the history of this area.

Details for tourist office are:
