¡Bienvenidos a Cuba! Your Trip Leader will meet you at Havana’s José Martí International Airport (HAV) at 11:00 am and take you with the included transportation to your privately owned accommodations, called a "casa particular" in the heart of Havana’s historic center.

Discover Old Havana and ride in classic American cars owned by a local small business owner. As you cruise along the Malecón, you’ll visit iconic landmarks, including Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza Vieja, Plaza de Armas, and the famous Bodeguita del Medio.

Pose for photos with vintage cars and see the rich history, art, and culture all wrapped up into one enchanting Caribbean vibe. Engage with local entrepreneurs at a stained glass workshop, where your money will go directly into the hands of the Cuban people.

Support a small, family-owned restaurant called a "paladar" to enjoy some delicious Cuban cuisine and try a delicious mojito.

Wake up in Trinidad to the sound of roosters crowing in the distance and the aroma of fresh Cuban coffee as you prepare for a day at sea. 

Today, you’ll go on a catamaran adventure across the crystal-clear Caribbean waters to the stunning islets of Cayo Iguana or Cayo Blanco, where you’ll find powdery white sands and turquoise water.

Enjoy the breeze as you relax on deck, swim, or snorkel among the marine life in the pristine coral reefs. Upon reaching the island, savor a freshly prepared seafood lunch with drinks, making for an unforgettable day in paradise.

Engage in another cultural exchange, as we visit a local pottery artisan who creates pieces in his family home.

Dinner will be waiting for you at a cozy open-air restaurant. You can try slow-cooked “ropa vieja,” Cuba’s national dish.

Wake up early to savor your final morning in Havana, reflecting on the connections you’ve made and the moments you’ve shared with the Cuban people. Over one last cup of rich Cuban coffee, take pride in knowing your journey supported local communities and left a lasting impression.

As our time together ends, we hope you leave feeling inspired and more connected to the world around you. Your private transportation will take you and your group back to the airport for your flight home.

We encourage you to stay in touch with your travel companions, plan reunions, and keep the spirit of this journey alive through our alumni community.
