In this intimate guided tour for 10-15 visitors, we will access the cultural arts to experience Cuba and foster connections to its amazing creative community. Cuba’s diverse and thriving art scene will provide the pathways to explore and learn about the country’s rich history, current reality, and aspirations for the future. We’ll visit museums and artists’ studios, engage in interactive arts workshops, and attend music and dance performances.
After our initial days in Havana, we’ll head west to the countryside to relish in the island’s natural beauty, which serves as a constant source of inspiration for Cuban visual and performing artists. We’ll first visit the sustainable community of Las Terrazas, nestled in the Sierra de Rosario UNESCO Bioreserve, then delight in the magnificence of Los Viñales Valley. In the region where the best tobacco in the world is grown, we’ll see how tobacco is transformed from seed to the captivating allure of a puro cigar. We’ll also visit an organic farm and have a sunset dining experience at its restaurant to fully appreciate the awe inspiring magic of the “Valley of Silence.” For the closing weekend, we’ll return to Havana to continue to engage with artists and further explore this vibrant city and its pulsating nightlife.
