THE TIME TO GO TO CUBA IS NOW! Experience the vibrant and authentic Cuban culture before outside influence, along with it, McDonald’s and Starbucks arrives. Our all-inclusive 8-day itinerary begins with a night in Miami, then onward with a charter flight to Havana. Our group will be traveling under the auspices of Cuba Cultural Travel. We will be met with a warm welcome by our Cuba Cultural Travel representative and board our private bus for transfer to our centrally located hotel in the historic district.
Upon check-in our guide will take us through the historic district of Havana, a private musical performance, and journey into the history of Cuba, followed by dinner at one of the top restaurants in Havana. Our three action packed days in Havana begin with Yoga at the rooftop pool deck, followed by breakfast. Visit the studio of artist, sculptor, painter and poet Wilay Mendez, and a cooperative of visual arts. There will be dance demos and Salsa lessons, and a private Flamenco performance by some of the finest dancers in Cuba. We will also hear about art history at the Museum of Cuban Art, and take an architecture walking tour. Before leaving Havana our private guide will take us on a bus tour of the iconic modernistic Vedado neighborhood, and a visit to Jaimanitas fishing village known for its ornate and colorful murals. Lunches and dinners are included at the most stylish restaurants known for their ambiance and exquisite cuisine. There will also be time to explore Havana and have one dinner on our own.
After saying adios to Havana, the journey continues on to Viñales Valley, considered by many to be the most beautiful place in Cuba, with jaw dropping vistas and stunning landscapes. En route we visit an eco community for a family style meal in an outdoor setting. Our hotel offers stunning views of the valley and ancient mogotes. After check-in at the hotel we will work up an appetite with sunset yoga on the pool deck before dinner at Balcon del Valle. Next day we’ll explore Viñales Valley on foot, including a visit with rural farmers, tobacco farms, a cigar rolling demo, field to table lunch, and dinner at Juana la Cabana. The evening ends with a Cuban music performance and salsa dancing. On our last full day in Cuba we take a short boat ride for a day trip to Isla de Cayo Levisa with beautiful white sand beaches, swimming, snorkeling or just floating in the turquoise sea, with lunch and yoga on the beach. A flavorful farewell dinner back in Viñales Valley will bring our Cuba Yoga Journey to a close before departing for the airport the next morning filled by our Cuban adventures!
