Tour Sponsor: Shasta Nelson’s TravelCircles | Hosted by J’Leen Saeger
Join us for an unforgettable 10-night cultural immersion in Cuba!
This TravelCircle journey begins with 3 nights in Havana, where you’ll settle into an oceanfront hotel and dive into the city’s rhythm with a Mojito Meet and Greet, a walking tour through Old Havana, live jazz, and deep conversations with Cuban women artists, leaders, and changemakers. Then it’s off to Cienfuegos and the UNESCO World Heritage city Trinidad, where you’ll salsa dance by the sea, hike to waterfalls in the Escambray Mountains, and create art with locals. You’ll soak up the coastal calm of Playa Girón, snorkel in the Zapata Peninsula, and learn about the Bay of Pigs from a Cuban perspective before returning to Havana for more art, connection, creativity, and celebration.
Whether it’s walking the cobbled streets of Old Havana, sharing stories with local creatives, or watching the sunset with new friends, this is an unforgettable experience that will stay with you long after you return home.
