There’s A Nightclub Inside Of A Cuban Cave

People often report that visiting Cuba is like stepping back in time, with old-school cars and a laid-back retro vibe. But now that visitation embargos between the US and Cuba have been lifted, there’s never been a better time to visit this unique island – before the masses of tourists descend. The first stop on your Cuban agenda? Well, it’s gotta be this nightclub in a cave.

Disco Ayala, or La Cueva, is a dance club build inside a natural cave in Trinidad on Cuba’s south coast. The disco is located on the outskirts of town, about a 10 minute walk from the city centre and behind a church on a hill.

It’s an unlikely pairing: the music (top 40 bangers) and its location (a cavernous hole underground), but it certainly doesn’t deter the locals – this place hosts thousands of partygoers each night, with many newbies hearing about it only by word of mouth.

The cave is actually 30 metres underground – you have to traverse a few staircases to actually get in – but once you’re there, it’s electric: there are five dance floors, three bars and cabaret acts performing until 3am. Oh and did we mention this place has all you can drink mojitos?

Yeah this looks awesome.
