is a trip to trinidad worth it for only a 5 day stay in cuba?

hello, i am going to be in cuba for only 5 days and was thinking the best thing for me (not a big city person) is to get out of the city and explore one other place. i was thinking trinidad because it looks so lovely and has good beaches relatively close, but then realized 3.5 hours away might be wasting 7 hours on driving when I could be going somewhere closer!

is there anywhere that is closer to havana that will still feel like i am getting a different experience? beaches but not resort filled?  up to 2 hours away is fine.

is the 3.5 hour drive in the bus or taxi through enough beautiful scenery to make it worth the trip in and of itself? mil gracias!

Hi, im in cuba with a weak internet connection so I cant write very much. Honestly, I would suggest Vinales. It´s west of HAvana and I prefer it over trinidad. There is tons of info online. It´s a small place and you can take the viazul bus there for like 15$… http://www.viazul.com. There is a beach close by too. Also, there is playa larga, but that is a bit smaller and a bit harder to get to, but a very nice area. No resorts at all. Have fun. Mario
