Our evenings will be filled with exclusive concerts by renowned musicians, private showings at artists’ studios, and performances by students of Cuba’s internationally acclaimed dance institutes. We’ll tour museums with eminent art historians, wander through the markets of Old Havana, experience the scenic beauty of Pinar del Río Province and the Viñales Valley (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and savor traditional Cuban food and spirits at the island’s finest restaurants and organic farms.
