More

Tour Havana City, including the grand Catedral de la Habana, said to be the only example of a Baroque facade designed with asymmetrical features; the flamboyant Colon Cemetery; the Greco-Roman El Templete; St. Lazaro Church; Feria de Artesania San Jose, Havana's foremost flea market; and the Patranato Synagogue and Jewish Pharmacy.

Visit the sites associated with Ernest Hemingway including his Cuban farm, his favorite restaurant and bar, and Cojimar, the small fishing village that inspired "The Old Man and the Sea."

There will also be day trips to the Valley of the Sugar Mills; Guanabacoa, rich in religious heritage; Santa Clara, the provincial capital of Villa Clara; the historic Bay of Pigs; and Trinidad, containing a treasure-trove of small and grand colonial homes, churches, and quiet squares.

In addition to traditional tourist activities, you will also provide humanitarian aid that will support and benefit the Cuban people. And of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to experience Cuban arts, culture, cuisine and music.
