There are so many places in the world
worth traveling to, anyone who loves to travel is bound to have a long bucket
list of places they want to visit. Some places are harder to get to, or which
have been challenging to travel through, if not even dangerous at times.
Vacationing abroad is always done at the whim of governments, social ups and
downs and current happenings within a given country. Some places have simply
been off limits to the traveler. No matter how much you may want to explore a
place, sometimes there are restrictions and limits. Cuba is one destination that has long been
on the travel prohibition list.
With relations between the United States and Cuba having long been regarded as
poor, we Americans have had limited access to this incredible cultural icon of
the Caribbean. Since the end of 2014 however, travel
restrictions have been relaxed, allowing for travel from the United States
into Cuba, so we can finally experience this unique island once again.
This is not to say that traveling to Cuba
is now like traveling to places like Mexico or

Art plays a big role in Cuban culture.
Throughout your tour you will meet different artists,
performers and musicians ready
to share their artistic endeavors with visitors. From area art schools to
market places, theaters and even retirement communities, you will be immersed
with the sounds and sights of artisan
crafts, local music, song and dance. Some stops along the way will include
a handicraft market in Santa
Clara, the Tomas Terry Theater opera house in Plaza Mayor, visits to local
artists’ homes, and the Cuban Fine Arts Museum in Havana. Speaking of museums,
this is one way to get a deeper understanding of Cuba’s history and aspects of
the Cuban culture. You will learn about how Che
Guevara, Sugar Cane, and Literacy programs
have had a great impact on the island’s residents.
The food of Cuba will be another focus of
the tour. Part of a guided tour with Collette includes many of the meals. With
these, you will have several opportunities to experience the culinary delights of this tropical island. When in
Old Havana you will enjoy a uniquely Cuban treat with a special dinner at a Paladar, a small, specialty
restaurant with its own
organic farm. Delving deeper
into the culture of Cuba, you will have opportunities to meet with locals who will shed light on the role of
religions such as Christianity and Santeria within the lives of Cubans. Get set
to even learn a few steps of the national
Cuban dance, Salsa as well
during your tour.
If you have not taken a guided tour before, a journey to Cuba is an ideal
way to experience all that this type of travel can offer. With a destination
such as Cuba, this is truly
the best way, and one of the few ways you can do so as an American
Traveler. Each day includes enriching experiences, plenty of activities,
amazing food and opportunities to shop, explore and relax throughout your
vacation. It has been over 50 years since travel to Cuba was easy to do, now it
is easy once again. You will be sure to bring back incredible stories and
amazing photos, mementos and memories with a one of a kind journey to a one of
a kind destination.
But there is a catch, tours to Cuba are filling up fast.
Companies like our partner Collette Tours have a limited number of dates and spaces
available for travelers to
join. Reserving a space now is highly encouraged, to ensure you can make it to
Cuba in 2016. Our Collette Tours journey to Cuba will be from September 6th – 14th, with a deposit
to reserve your space due by the end of February. If you are concerned about
how much this tour may cost, there is even more great news for you. Often when
you travel with a tour or a cruise, air fare is not included in the cost of
your tour. With Collette Tours when you reserve your space
