Havana, Cuba
Join us May 16-20 in Havana, Cuba for an adventure of a lifetime. In this OFAC-compliant trip, we'll explore farm-to-table restaurants, as well as the rum and farming industries. This is a draft itinerary. Final details are subject to change, as trips to Cuba require lots of flexibility due to the nature of the economy and shortages. We will, however, ensure that any changes include equal or better experiences. As we like to say, when taking a culinary adventure to Cuba, pack sunscreen, a good appetite, and lots of flexibility! The cost for this trip is expected to be $3200 per person for double occupancy and $3600 per person for single occupancy. Your Cuban visa and airfare are not included in this cost; they will cost about $550 and are payable directly to Leyte Global Services.
