 This is a last reminder to send your $500 deposit and registration immediately to join me in this extraordinarily enriching and one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore the art, architecture, heritage and Jewish communities of Cuba. Hotels, US/Cuba airfare, all domestic transportation within Cuba, most meals, and a rich schedule of extraordinary activities are included. 
We leave and return from the Tampa Airport (TPA), a one-hour-twenty-minute direct flight. We will take humanitarian goods to support and benefit the Cuban Jewish congregations and donate these goods while there. Buildings, streets, and monuments constructed during Cuba's 500-year history provide a glimpse into the country's early development, its colonial influences, political and religious development since Columbus' arrival, and 400 years of Spanish rule along with the centuries of rich and varied Jewish history of the island. We'll view the architecture, visit museums, experience a range of music, walk historic Jewish districts, join two of Havana's active Jewish communities for Shabbat and Shabbat meals, and visit the Holocaust Memorials of Havana and Santa Clara. We'll discover Ernest Hemingway's home and haunts, visit the open-air workshop-gallery of the Caribbean Picasso, José Rodrigues Fuster and his eye-popping town of Jaimanitas which itself is defined as a work of public art.  
We'll visit spectacular Pinar Del Rio Province and its world-renowned Las Terrazas (environmental terraces) project, an official UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. We'll travel to some of the most breathtaking and history-laden regions of the island, including World Heritage Sites of Cienfuegos, Valle de los Ingenios, Trinidad, Santa Clara, and Remedios. And we'll stay at the renowned 5-star Hotel Nacional, frequented by the famous and the notorious, diplomats and celebrities through its long history, and the restored Modernist 4-star Jagua Hotel of Cienfuegos, both of which are located on the breathtaking Malecon seaside boulevards. Walk minutes to the central historic districts and waterside from both hotels.
You will love the warmth of the Jewish communities of Cuba and the rich music, art, and landscape-which we will experience abundantly on this tour. View my In-depth Tour Itinerary and Details as well as a downloadable flyer/itinerary and reservation form.
