Our Weekend in Havana tour is more than a mere brush with exotic culture—it's an immersive discovery allowing you to witness Cuba's incredible people, budding entrepreneurial scene, dynamic rhythm and color and dive right in and become part of the canvas. Like the fiery salsa rhythms rippling through its city streets, Havana springs to life with warmth and vivaciousness that never stops taking you by surprise. Removed from the quiet fields of sugar cane and mango trees that thrive further afield, Cuba's largest city is an urban metropolis of rambling Colonial architecture, endless adventure, and unfettered discovery.

Farmers Market

FARMER’S MARKET

Visit a local farmers market, where you’ll get a first-hand look at Cuba’s agricultural revolution. In these bustling markets you’ll find only local food – almost always organic. This switch to natural farming came in the early 90s when oil and pesticide shortages forced Cuba to radically alter its agricultural economy. Today, the country is a model for the world, as other communities trend toward more sustainable farming methods.

BEHIND THE SCENES - CIGAR HUMIDORS

Cuban Cigar boxes can be as masterful as the cigar itself. The Cuban equivalent of “meat and potatoes” may as well be “rum and cigars” with both sugarcane and tobacco cultivated in Cuba. Naturally, Cubans are true connoisseurs of both products, and they know exactly what it takes to find the right match of flavors. We’ll meet a group of renowned artists dedicated to the art of handmade humidors.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY'S FINCA VIGIA 

Venture to Finca Vigía, where Hemingway lived and wrote his most famous novel, The Old Man and the Sea. At Finca Vigía, which is supported by independent organizations, you can meet the local caretakers as you walk the perimeter of the house and peer through the windows to see how it was kept when Hemmingway lived there. The walls are lined with bookshelves and covered with paintings, some of them depicting Hemingway on his African safaris.
