Flip the script in the Caribbean
Neoclassical architecture and cerdo asado, reggaeton and Revolution Square, baseball and beaches — Cuba is full of surprises.
In Cuba, you’ll have the rare experience of exploring a nation nearly untouched by commercialism. What it lacks in economic wealth, Cuba makes up for in spades with a vibrant Caribbean culture, influenced by African and Spanish heritage.
Its cities, music, architecture, festivals, rural villages and gorgeous beaches offer much to learn about and discover. From attending class with local students at Cuba’s oldest university, to exploring beyond the 500-year-old capital city, to getting to know your host family, your time in Cuba will be unlike anywhere else.
