Cuba is a country unlike any in the world, and today we invite our members and supporters to join us on our specially curated, all-inclusive week long tour of this distinctive island country.
Throughout the week we will meet with distinguished economists, architects, historians, and political scientists from the University of Havana, tour Cuba’s UNESCO Heritage sites, visit museums with renowned art historians, and enjoy Cuban music at private concerts with prominent jazz, classical, rumba, and trova artists.
We will attend exclusive performances at the country’s famed ballet and flamenco studios, hear the stories of Afro-Cuban and LGBT activists, visit the private studios of celebrated artists, and drink and dine at the new paladars (private restaurants), recently introduced as part of Cuba’s economic reforms.
Your journey will be hosted by Charles Bittner, an expert on Cuban culture and a professor of sociology at St. John’s University. Charles has coordinated and hosted over 50 tours in Cuba. Throughout the week, you will also be accompanied by Migdalia Carballosa Rodriguez, a graduate of the eminent Facultad de Lenguas Extranjeras at the University of Havana. Migdalia, a lifelong Cuban, is one of the island’s most experienced and highly educated guides.
