Our insider knowledge and local partnerships allow us to take you beyond the tourist façade and discover Cuba in the most authentic and genuine way. We have created our own exclusive experiences from visiting a local tobacco farm in Viñales and drinking coffee with the three generations of farmers who live there to learning about the journey of a tattoo artist who opened his own shop in Central Havana. Each itinerary is designed to show you the real Cuba.
“A unique experience and every part immersive as you can get. Learning about this incredible city and its people was a true adventure. This is not your average tour by any means. Prepare to be stimulated mind, body, and spirit by this outstanding journey through the very heart of Havana, Cuba! Thank you, Cuba Candela for sharing the seen & hidden beauty of this captivating city!”
We promise you will meet inspiring locals
The feeling of global unity that surfaces when people from different cultures and backgrounds come together is powerful and often one of the most inspiring reasons to travel. During your trip, you will meet private business owners, up and coming artists, local musicians and more. We encourage you to truly get to know the locals, for a richer and more meaningful experience. The connections you make will be genuine and inspire you long after you leave the island.
We promise your trip will leave a positive impact on Cuba and the world
For every trip we sell, we directly support over 30 Cuban entrepreneurs and donate aa portion of each trip costs to support Caritas Cuba’s mission of protecting and helping the most vulnerable people in Cuba. Our desire to make a positive impact in Cuba, and the world, is one of the founding principles of the company, driven by Chad’s vision to make a 360-degree impact. Because of you, that vision prevails.
