About this tour

Cuba, located in the Caribbean, is a country known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and unique political system. It was long ruled by Fidel Castro and his successors under a socialist regime that emphasized government control of the economy and strong social programs. While Cuba has made significant strides in healthcare and education, it has also faced economic challenges and political restrictions. The country’s iconic vintage cars, beautiful beaches, and lively music scene attract tourists from around the world, despite decades of political isolation from the United States. Cuba continues to undergo social and economic changes, making it a place of both nostalgia and evolving potential in the 21st century.
