Cuba.

APRIL 2027

Up close. Unscripted. Unforgettable.

Past the postcard, into the everyday. Music drifting through open doors. Long conversations over coffee. Streets that make you slow down and look again.

The proposed journey

Six stops. A thousand stories.

From Havana’s streets to Viñales’ mountains, the plan is to spend time with the people who make each place what it is. This route is a starting point; stops and activities may change.

  1. Havana

    First conversations, neighborhood walks, local food, and a city full of life.

  2. Playa Larga

    Coastal communities, local history, and a slower rhythm by the water.

  3. Trinidad

    Cobblestone streets, working artisans, live music, and colorful doorways.

  4. Varadero

    Caribbean scenery and locally led experiences beyond the resort bubble.

  5. Viñales

    Family farms, limestone mountains, and time with the people of the valley.

  6. Havana, again

    One last evening together. Familiar streets, seen with different eyes.

People before postcards

A different kind of Cuba trip.

Not a resort escape. A chance to get closer.

Locally owned casas particulares. Privately run restaurants. Independent guides. The proposed trips are being built around meaningful exchanges and supporting local livelihoods.

Cuba also asks for patience and flexibility. Fuel, electricity, transportation, and broader travel conditions will all inform the final decision.

Planning will take applicable U.S. “Support for the Cuban People” travel requirements into account. Final itinerary and travel details will be shared before bookings open.
