We will be based in the heart of Old Havana, the capital of the country and its commercial and cultural center since colonial times. Here, we will experience the wonderful, rustic, photogenic charm of a city that has remained largely unchanged for over 50 years. We will meet the Cuban people and learn about daily life both in this amazing, complex city and in nearby towns to which we will travel to see special, cultural treasures. That said, Havana is the main focus of our trip, the center for art, music (jazz), dance (ballet and flamenco), and film, and what many consider to be the most beautiful city in the Caribbean, complete with fading paint, cracking stonework, old cars, and wonderful faces to photograph. This is an ideal trip for your spouse or significant other, as there will plenty for them to do and see. Setting the Stage
Everyone will meet in Miami the morning of the first Friday and head for Cuba on a charter flight. You will return the following Friday afternoon, so if you are flying in, we recommend you arrive Thursday before your trip and head back home the Saturday after you return to Miami in case of delays. You will get a detailed itinerary, but please note that there will be plenty of opportunity to photograph. The itinerary, however, must be OKed by both OFAC and the Cuban government, so it will be worded according to certain guidelines. For example, as much as time permits, we will have meetings where we can socialize and share stories and images both amongst ourselves and with our Cuban friends. That said, know that our schedule is pretty full, so you can experience as much as possible of Cuba in our short time there. Also note, this is a people-to-people cultural tour designed for photographers and their guests rather than a regular photo workshop. Meanwhile, we recommend that you look at Cuba Cultural Travel's FAQs. Our People-to-People, Cultural Exchange
During our stay, we will be hosted by a variety of local scholars and artists who will offer in-depth commentary on art, music, dance, photography, architecture, history, and religion. We will meet and be able to photograph many leading artists, musicians, dancers, and fellow photographers in their studios, attend private dance and music performances and enjoy the company of students, professors, and historians. Throughout our tour we will enjoy the type of intimate, personal exchanges that build lifelong relationships. This trip will not only bring us together with the wonderful, friendly, open people of Cuba, but will enable us to develop friendships and a new understanding of the rich and varied cultural fabric of this unique island nation. A true people-to-people exchange! Our time in Cuba in 2013 was amazing, and we cannot wait to return. Included:
We are advised that you should plan on bringing approximately $1,000 in cash. There are safes in the rooms. You will get a suggested budget to plan for your tour. Please let us know ASAP if you want to go on this tour, and we will let you know if your application was received in time. Those who sign up for this incredible opportunity will get full details and an itinerary. Note, however, that the itinerary is always subject to change, but the basics will remain the same.
