CENTER FOR CUBAN STUDIES
CENTER FOR CUBAN STUDIES
New Years in Havana!
Celebrate New Year's in Havana.
We'll tour the city with Cuban historians and architects, on a walking tour of the old city, and in the city at large, in vintage convertibles. We'll hit the hot spots for art, architecture, music and dance with Cuban artists, architects and musicians.
I was fortunate enough to participate in one of the Center’s tours for educators. It was a trip of a lifetime made possible by the consummate professionals at the Center for Cuban Studies. If you are considering a trip to Cuba, I highly recommend them, educator or not. You can expect no hassles, a well organized itinerary, top notch accommodations and well informed, helpful, folks every step of the way.
