Cuba has a richness
of spirit unlike any other. It’s in the music; it’s in the dignity and mulatto
beauty of the Cuban people. It’s in the way people dance and the way the rhythms
of son, rumba, and salsa make your hips sway. It’s in that magical blending of
worlds that infuses everyday life on the island. Magic realism isn’t a literary
genre in Cuba –it’s a way of life. Share in a world that has inspired an endless
number of writers, poets, and filmmakers, including Alejo Carpentier, Hemingway,
and Tomás Gutiérrez Alea. Or let Cuba’s avant-garde visual arts reveal a new
way of seeing life.
Stroll through the
safe streets of Havana or Trinidad and soak in centuries of architecture and
history. On this tour we balance daily cultural excursions, beach time, and of
course Cuban dance lessons with ample space for a renewing yoga practice.
