A Culture of Arts & Photography in Cuba

This legal Humanitarian Delegation journey offers a variety of arts and cultural exchanges in Havana, as well as in the beautiful tobacco-growing valley of Viñales, in Matanzas, province, and in the sandy north coast of Varadero. We will take a walking tour of Havana and visit with many local creatives. We will hike through the beautiful valley of Viñales and tour local farms, as well as visit Las Terrazas, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In Matanzas, we'll explore AfroCuban culture, visit a book-making artists' collective, and enjoy leisure time at the coast.

We will meet local photographers, artists, dancers, singers, and musicians along all of our routes. Be prepared for a rich and exciting experience on the island.
