With its rich history, vibrant culture, and captivating beaches, Cuba has long intrigued American travelers. While U.S. travel restrictions to Cuba have evolved, the “Support for the Cuban People” category remains a compelling avenue for Americans seeking an immersive and purposeful experience on the island as offered in this 7 day opportunity.

Under this general license, American travelers have the opportunity to embark on a transformative journey that goes beyond typical tourist activities. By engaging in a range of meaningful interactions and activities that support civil society, promote independence, and foster connections with the Cuban people, visitors can contribute to the island’s social, economic, and cultural development.

Highlights include classic car tours of Havana, Vinales Valley, Hemingway's house, the Bay of Pigs, Trinidad, and Ingenios Valley.
