"I'm convinced that the best way to get off the tourist path and behind the scenes where the real Cuba exists is on a small group people-to-people adventure with Austin-Lehman. I was curious before the trip, now I'm totally fascinated by the people, enchanted by the country and itching to go back!" Dave Wiggins, Boulder, ColoradoVisit Cuba
Cuba at Last!
Finally, the chance to soak up the culture of Cuba! Mingle with friendly locals, explore time-warped colonial villages, and discover the fascinating histories of Havana, Viñales and Mantanzas on this nine-day Cuban adventure.- Meet in Miami for a one-hour charter flight to Havana and enjoy a panoramic tour of the city, including a visit to the famous Plaza de la Revolución, where Fidel Castro has addressed millions of Cubans on several important occasions.
- Learn about the two-decade-old restoration project lead by Eusebio Leal—how the effort is self-financed, and how the strength of the local community is maintained in this heavily touristed region.
- Visit the Flores district to explore the Casa-Estudio de Fuster, the studio-home of José Fuster, coined the ‘Picasso of the Caribbean.’
- Drive through the province of Pinar del Río to Finca Pinar San Luís, the private finca of the late and legendary tobacco farmer and Cuban cigar ‘ambassador,’ Alejandro Robaina.
- Travel east to Mantanzas, known as the “Venice of Cuba” for its beautiful bridges, and enjoy a specially arranged visit to the 1879 Troillet Pharmacy, now a pristine museum privately owned by a member of the Troillet family.
