CUBA
Havana & Vinales, Cuba
6 Days, 5 Nights
Experience Cuba! This beautiful country, which is a cobblestoned Caribbean gem, has so much to offer! The rum is plentiful, the smiles infectious and dancing is essential. Wind your way from sultry Havana and its crumbling churches, and on to the beautiful farmlands and mountains of Vinales. Along the way you’ll get to know tobacco and rum experts, celebrated local chefs, historians and salsa dancers that understand where Cuba came from, where the country sits now and, more importantly, where it’s going.
