The tour operates under the General License for the Support for the Cuban People, providing all necessary documentation to ensure compliance with US regulations. This legal framework is crucial for American travelers seeking to visit Cuba while adhering to current travel restrictions and regulations.
The program focuses on patronizing privately owned restaurants, stores, art galleries, and small businesses, with travelers engaging in meaningful exchanges with local communities to support civil society and private entrepreneurial activity. This approach directly benefits Cuban entrepreneurs and community projects during a period when tourism can provide substantial economic impact. Participants will visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Old Havana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, and Vinales Valley, along with historical locations such as the Bay of Pigs and Ernest Hemingway's former residence, Finca La Vigia.
The comprehensive package includes luxury accommodations at 5-Star Grand Muthu Habana by MGM Muthu Hotels in Havana and Villas Cienfuegos Affiliated by Meliá, along with 16 meals at privately-owned restaurants. Travelers will benefit from private transfers, luxury transportation, and 24/7 guidance from Cuban English-speaking expert guides throughout the 8-day itinerary. Exclusive community exchanges include visits to projects such as Barrio Habana, El Patio de Pelegrin, and Muraleando, providing deeper cultural understanding while supporting local initiatives.
The tour also features art and cultural immersion through visits to private art studios, jewelry stores, and cultural projects including the Experimental Printing Workshop and Clandestina Store & Studio. Priced at $2,799 with all taxes included, the tour offers various discounts including referral, couples, and group discounts. The program represents a significant opportunity for cultural exchange and economic support directly benefiting Cuban entrepreneurs and community projects, particularly during the holiday season when such support can have amplified impact on local economies and community development initiatives.
