We can customize your program with a variety of different themes that are still legal to US participants.
Each of our programs give the participant a real people-to-people experience while seeing this amazing county first hand and the new freedoms, business opportunities and changes that have happened for the Cuban people over the years. We give participants the ability to forgo traditional hotels, if they prefer, and stay with the Cuban people. We were one of the first to start staying in Private Homes since 2012. We started the concept of Support of the Cuban People.
We can provide airfare from several different US cities. We have very nice, upscale, private boutique hotels. We can lower the price with regular Casa Particulars or possibly get hotels.
