Dear Colorado College alumni and friends,

I invite you to join us for this immersive, eight-day cultural journey to explore Cuba’s deep artistic, musical, and political history, and visit agrarian and ecological sites. Discover firsthand the indigenous, African, and Spanish influences that make Cuba a vibrant island nation.

Spend five nights total in Havana experiencing the sights, sounds, and flavors of this thriving city; and two nights in the countryside town of Viñales, located in the Pinar del Rio Province, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy private concerts by El Septeto Nacional, masters and great innovators of Latin music; and Coro Lucecita, a renowned community children’s choir; plus attend a private performance by “Mi Compania,” one of Cuba’s top contemporary dance companies.

Explore how art has been woven into the fabric of Cuba’s society through its history, politics, and revolutions. Visit Havana’s Obispo Street, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that blends colonial architecture, vibrant art, and the rich culture of local life; see contemporary Cuban art exhibits at El Centro del Desarollo de Arte Contemporánea and la Fototeca de Cuba; and visit Fusterlandia, an entire neighborhood transformed into a Gaudí or Brancusiesque wonderland.

After our first four nights in Havana, we drive to Viñales, stopping along the way at Finca Paco y Concha, a 3rd-generation tobacco farm. Once in Viñales, enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience staying in rooms at host families’ bed-and-breakfast villas for two nights. Our time in the countryside includes a guided hike through verdant forests; a walk through farms and landscapes to learn about history, geology, and fauna; and visits to two very different working farms. Return to Havana, and enjoy our last night in Cuba as we travel to dinner at sunset in a 1950s American convertible car.

Not only is Cuba known for its performing and fine arts, but it is also known for its cuisine. You will have a couple of evenings to explore Cuba’s food scene on your own, but we will also enjoy meals together, sampling Cuban-Mediterranean, traditional Cuban, modern Cuban, and farm-to-table fare.

If you have ever wanted to visit Cuba, now is the time to go! We will be traveling under the General License for Support for the Cuban People. This program is limited to 20 guests, plus a tour manager and a local Cuban guide, so I suggest that you reserve your spot today by contacting Eos Study Tours, the specialty tour operator who has worked with us on designing this trip.
