Immerse yourself in fascinating, enigmatic Cuba. Unpack once and stay for seven nights in a privately owned, boutique hotel in Havana. Venture to encounter Cuba’s history and charisma, from colorful Old Havana to culture-rich Matanzas and the beautiful rural countryside. Ride in one of Cuba’s iconic, vintage convertibles along the Malecón seashore drive. Experience Cuba through meaningful exchanges with entrepreneurs, artists, performers, community leaders and children. Local experts will add another enriching layer of Cuba’s history and culture during discussions about the island’s economy, musical roots, 1961 literacy campaign and other compelling topics.
