Agent favorite Tauck World Discovery has jumped into the confusing waters of U.S. travel to Cuba to offer their own Cuba tour program. For decades, few U.S. citizens have been able to experience Cuba travel. But now, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has granted Tauck a license to provide People-to-People educational exchange travel to Cuba through 2012. Meet face-to-face with local residents from different professions, share thoughts, gain knowledge, and connect with Cuba’s cultural heritage. The tour is called Cuba: Connecting with People and Culture. It’s priced from $3,990 for 8 Days.
The tour is centered on key themes of Cuban culture and the arts, education, entrepreneurism, agriculture and the spiritual side of Cuba. Tour participants will meet Cuban students and teachers, learn about Ernest Hemingway’s Cuba, discuss art and private enterprise at the studios of community artists and visit with farmers to talk about agrarian reform and organic farming. They’ll meet with and listen to local Cuban musicians, interact with members of charitable organizations about their work and learn about Afro-Cuban religious traditions. They’ll also have dinner at a paladar – these are small, privately operated Cuban restaurants.
