This in an eight-day and seven-night trip focused on meeting and getting to know everyday Cubans, going to the best and most innovative music venues, meeting musicians and composers, visiting artist studios, seeing architecture, dining at the best home restaurants (paladares) in Havana and other activities consistent with the People to People license.
You will be staying at the Hotel Melia Habana one of the best hotels in Havana.
The Havana Jazz Festival 2015 will be on fire as some important US jazz bands attend for the first time. You will go to every concert!
It's now easier to visit Cuba!
On January 16, 2015 President Barak Obama liberalized People to People educational travel, which now allows Americans to travel to Cuba without all of the paperwork previously needed. This makes travel to Cuba infinitely easier. People to People travel is not tourist oriented or self directed but it is both rewarding and unique. It allows participants to visit a wide scope of organizations, institutions, and community projects that provide a deeper understanding of Cuba, its people and its culture. This trip includes a full time schedule of educational exchange activities designed to promote meaningful interactions between Americans and the people of Cuba.
