Why Travel To Cuba?

Cuba has long been considered a place to visit if you wanted to travel back in time — where McDonald’s and Starbucks don’t exist, where WiFi is a rarity, and where 1950s cars still sputter through the streets. And while the country still holds that romanticism (you won’t find a Big Mac anywhere), it’s a country that’s also clearly on the cusp of a new era. Casa particulars and restaurants operated by locals rather than the government have opened Cuban culture to visitors in a way that’s never been accessible before.

Sultry and seductive, passionate and political, Cuba is a magnetic place that’s unlike anywhere else on Earth. But its rawness, shaped by decades of political turmoil and isolation, has left it too-often misunderstood. When we visit, we direct all our efforts to supporting the local people while experiencing the real Cuba beyond the resort walls. You’ll see socialism and its effects with your own eyes, while doing your part to support everyday people.
