Something missing in no translation..Disapointed the guides on the site couldn't speak English.. No translation of all the pictures on site so didn't know who all the family members were..
Not sure it's worth a trip here. Visit if on your way, 15min is enough in my opinion. A good spot to reflect about the history of Cuba but not much to see.
Wow it was fabulous to be there and walk around The park and open spaces as well as visit the crypt
Was impressed with the size of the monument. The actual mausoleum was a nice quiet respite from the heat. The collected artifacts were interesting. Be prepared to check your backpack or bags. No photography whatsoever, including cell phones. There are many postcards available around town. Worth the trip out. There is no entrance fee.
small but interesting museum about Cuba's history. Ps: you can't take pictures from inside the museum .
This is a museum of great historical significance. It's not big but it is interesting.
A must-see when you are in Santa Clara. My fav was the museum which gives valuable insights into the live of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. There are some officers around that patrol the compound. Mostly friendly but don't do anything to provoke them. Follow their remarks without questioning them. You will be fine.
Museum itself is great if you like the history specially history of Latin America. The place is very nice and clean and memorial . Che monument is really awesome. The only thing is you cannot take pictures inside museum even without flashing
My sole purpose of going to Santa Clara was to visit Che Guevera museum and I am glad I made all the efforts to be there. We stayed a night in Santa Clara, it was a great experience to see the small worn out city along with this well-kept Museum. It’s not a huge museum but it’s absolutely a good history lesson to understand this famous and somewhat controversial personality. The Museum hosts items used by Che and 29 of his fellow revolutionaries. You can feel their struggle for revolution through the items and pictures.
It’s free of charge however mobile phones and cameras are not allowed to take inside. You will have to deposit those before you enter. At the time we visited, it wasn’t as crowded as mentioned by some of the reviews I read. There is a small café and a small souvenir shop next to it too.
If you are planning your trip to Cuba and crossing by Santa Clara, I would highly recommend a detour and visit this place (of course only if you are interested in Cuban revolution and Che)
Very impressive. The guards were a bit rude.
Baa Che Guevara was an interesting person. Not many like him.
Striking and very interesting, the exhibition is quite good - the photo gallery in particular.
The Che Guevara Mausoleum is a memorial in Santa Clara, Cuba. It houses the remains of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara and twenty-nine of his fellow combatants killed in 1967 during Guevara's attempt to spur an armed uprising in Bolivia. The full area which contains a bronze 22-foot statue of Guevara is referred to as the Ernesto Guevara Sculptural Complex.
Guevara was buried with full military honors on 17 October 1997 after his exhumed remains were discovered in Bolivia and returned to Cuba. At the site, there is a museum dedicated to Guevara's life and an eternal flame lit by Fidel Castro in his memory.
Santa Clara was chosen as the location in remembrance of Guevara's troops taking the city on December 31, 1958, during the Battle of Santa Clara. The result of this final battle of the Cuban Revolution was Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista fleeing into exile.
This is a must see site for anyone travelling Cuba and trying to understand the history of the Revolution. Che and Fidels desire to support oppressed people around world is an important part of the of the legacy of the Cuban revolution. The small museum honoring Ches fallen fellow fighters from the ill-fated Bolivia campaign is a very touching part of whole monument. Shows the strong desire to honor all the individuals who have fought on the peoples side that can be traced throughout museums of the revolution across the country.
Very modern adn well done memorial to El Che, 100% worth visit. Completely free it follows the life of the great revolutionary
Impressive, but it's a Mausoleum
So, kinda boring. Next
It is well put together, but not a lot to see. I do enjoy the art in it all though especially.
Nice to be able to say we have been, would visit again but wouldn't go out of my way
It is a important place to visit. It is beautiful and good for pictures. The statue is giant and the square is very large. We're not allowed to bring cameras or take pictures inside the museum. Inside the museus you gonna see objects that were used by Che during his life.
