WHY CUBA?

 

Because now is the best time in history to visit.

 

We've traveled the world and there is no place like Cuba.  Its roots remain in a simpler time, encapsulating memories of a bygone era. Cuba is the romance of Hemingway, the sounds of Afro-Caribbean music amidst decaying colonial grandeur, the smell of the ocean & tropical fruit, & the taste of world-class tobacco & rum.

 

From the rooftops of Havana, the rhythm of El Malecón to the cascading waterfalls of Trinidad and the otherworldly magic of Viñales, the energy and natural beauty of Cuba capture the heart and mind.

 

Discover a dream that once seemed impossible, holding the allure of the past, of the forbidden, of paradise lost.
