Seeing Cuba through the eyes of her people
Visiting the Pearl of the Antilles for the first time in over fifty years can be incredibly exciting; however, step back a moment and imagine seeing Cuba through the eyes of her people... Imagine being able to understand her history, their struggle, their culture, and politics. With Globus' "People to People" license, you'll not only enjoy Cuba, you'll also get to know her up close and personal. On either one of the two 2018 Globus Cuba Tours, you'll be able to rediscover an island that has literally stood still for over half a century. You'll see vintage American automobiles moving up and down Cuba's popular Malecon... Vintage automobiles that were once popular in the fifties and surprisingly still moving till this day. This is made possible through the resourcefulness Cubans have learned throughout the years of the embargo, which prohibited any and all shipment from the United States. This meant, one must find alternative ways of replacing air/fuel mixture screws or throttle return springs.
Some of the people you'll be speaking with are Cuban musicians such as the band members of the Cienfuegos Orchestra or tobacco rollers at a cigar factory.
