Che obviously a revered person in Cuba so visiting his resting place and museum is important to understand Cuba. His statue is huge and in a nice setting. His remains were brought from Bolivia where he was killed some 30 years after his death. Museum shows some history and informative. Pretty solemn in some parts of the exhibit.

Our tour group stopped at the museum because it was included in our itinerary. Unfortunately, it was raining and they said the museum itself was closed (humidity to the papers or some excuse). We saw a bit outside and used the bathrooms and left. Not much else to do in Santa Clara so that was disappointing.

This was a must see on our trip to Cuba, to help understand the history of the Cuba people. There is a small mausoleum with eternal flame and plaques on the wall for Che an his comrades. Across the hall is the museum where you can see artifacts used in the Cuban revolution such as rifles and some of Che personal artifacts (lab coat, wrist watch, pipe, photos etc). Not really too much to see but worth a visit to help better understand the history of Cuba. It me inspired me to research Che a little further myself which was somewhat eye opening.

Set a little bit outside Santa Clara, the Ché monument is very striking. There is a garden a little behind it honouring fallen revolutionary comrades.
The mausoleum underneath the statue is very peaceful, and the small museum about Ché has some really interesting photos of him, and his upbringing.

You will understand how much people love and respect Che when you visit the mausoleum. Be sure to dress respectfully. About 20 people are let in at a time. Be sure to visit the museum after you exit the main area for the photographs and artifacts.

For most of the people, this is the reason to visit Santa Clara. This site is 15min walking distance from the center. Be careful as the museum only opens from 8.30 to 12.30! The mausoleum is always open. If you are not interested in visiting inside (where Che Guevara is), it is better to go in the afternoon, and avoid the bus tours.

Santa Clara is small, boring, and not particularly pleasant. I regret that I didn’t make a flying visit just to see the mausoleum. But, the mausoleum made it (just about) worthwhile and I’m glad I came. On my trip I didn’t find myself able to interact with the history of Cuba as much as I’d expected (or would have liked), and this was a fantastic opportunity to do so. The mausoleum isn’t particularly big, but it’s interesting and well curated. I’d say that an hour (and certainly no more than an hour and a half) is all that’s required to properly do this site, both inside and out. I’m glad that I did so.
I understand that you can do day trips to Santa Clara from Havana; on this basis, I’d very much recommend you do so. Just make sure not to stay.

What a moving and fitting tribute to this Argentinian hero of Cuba! We were fortunate that our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Che and spoke great English so she was able to give us so much detail about his exploits. What a man!!! I knew very little about him when I arrived on my 9 day tour of Cuba but after hearing some of the stories and visiting places of importance, I found myself in tears in the mausoleum. A true hero!!

Being able to touch the Commander's tomb first hand is a unique emotion. The monument is beautiful and the shrine is small and intimate, where the Commander rests together with the Companions who fell in combat in Bolivia and where an eternal flame burns. The small museum with some of his personal objects is beautiful and very well kept. It is closed on Mondays, entry is free as is the cloakroom for bags and backpacks. Taking photos inside is prohibited. To visit.

What can you say about this place in such a beautiful city with its divine people! There are so many times I have gone to this place that I never tire, not only this place but its surroundings.
Even the museum are changing / adding the photos they have on show so that people who have gone many times find something different something that I appreciate because this time there were some photos of Che with their children that I had not seen
As it is free admission please leave pronina to people who are in museums if it is in your possibility.

Estuve en el Mausoleo y fue una escuela para mi. Excelente.
Tengo una pregunta, como lee la cita del Che sobre el voluntariado.
Hoy se conmemora el servicio voluntario y quería compartirla.
Alguien puede recordarmela, por favor.

How many time it takes to see museum & mausoleum? I mean only inside, without outside.
Written February 12, 2019
It depends on your pace and interest..I would say not more than 30-50 minutes to get thru info. inside and outside, also to read and go around the place another 30-40 minutes, then as much time as you'd like to, it's very pleasant and great for photo opps, keep in mind that there's an area behind the main entrance where other people that participated in the battles in the take over of Santa Clara and the towns that lead to that last battle are resting, it's very nice too! I think that it gets missed unless you wander into it yourself.

¿Alguna agencia que haga la excursión a Santa Clara (incluyendo el mausoleo del che)desde CSM, con la cuál pueda pagar en efectivo? Hasta ahora, con todas las que consulte solo aceptan pago con tarjeta por adelantado. Gracias.

Nosotros re tamos un taxi que nos llevó desde la Habana hasta Santa Clara, el memorial del Che, Trinidad, Cienfuegos y La Habana de regreso. Así nos salió 3mil pesos mexicanos al día. Hicimos el viaje en dos días...

c'e' un posto dove lasciare le borse? perché noi ci dovremmo fermare solo un due ore a santa Clara per vedere per l appunto il museo, ma abbiamo un problema di valige
Written July 2, 2018
Lì non credo che ci siano spazi idonei a lasciare le valigie. Ad ogni modo anch’io ho fatto una semplice tappa intermedia partendo da Cienfuegos in direzione Trinidad...non so con cosa ti stai muovendo tu, io viaggiavo con il pullman Viazul e arrivato a Santa Clara ho lasciato il borsone al deposito bagagli presente nella stazione dei pullman, poi sono ritornato nel pomeriggio per proseguire verso Trinidad.
