Subject: Exciting new activities...

mingling with the locals

Hola Friend,


como estas? Hope you have been well.


I get so excited when we have people up for new things!!! Especially because in our case that means introducing them to a different family, to a different area sometimes and doing some thing immersive, rather than touristy. I love it even more when there is a 'Love story' involved, makes me want to sing 'La isla bonita' over and over.


So what do we have this time?


You have heard about our Vinales Valley walk, have even introduced you Floyd 👇 shared


his story, and the love of telling mother-in-law jokes. Which is absolutely fantastic... and now we are going to take it to the next level. We are going to introduce you to a beautiful Cuban family in Vinales for an immersive experience.


We take you to the farm, you'll literally meet the family! They will show you around the farm - tobacco plantation of course, tell you the seed to smoke process of making a great cigar. You'll then have a chance to hop on a beautiful horse and go down to a hidden cave, where you can hop in the creek for a dip in the clear waters.

I have to day, for years we stayed away from horse riding in the valley as we couldn't find a provider that we were comfortable with that they look after their horses well. But Ronnie and his family absolutely adore the animals that are in their care.


When you return from your swim, you will be served a delicious home made lunch - it won't be flash, but it will be organic and absolutely tasty - after which you can take siesta or play some dominoes or get involved in the afternoon's activities on the farm. The choice is yours...

Our next adventure is just outside of Havana.


OK, it is another farm... because some people don't have the time all the way to Vinales! Discover the unique story of Finca Tungasuk - an organic family farm in Cuba run by Alfredo and Annabelle. Formerly a UN election monitor and culinary expert, this unlikely duo creates inventive dishes influenced by their heritage. From exotic Latin American beans to neglected Cuban fruits, every meal is a culinary adventure.


At Finca Tungasuk, guests can experience a "farm to table" 4-course lunch with authentic flavors and Cuban coffee.


We absolutely love the cooking experience offered here! You select the ingredients from the farm and create your own 3 course meal.


But it's not just about dining; visitors can also learn sustainable farming practices firsthand on a 'volunteer day'. Of course, lunch will be included for those who are willing to get their hands dirty and help out, whilst learning the way of the land.


Alfredo and Annabelle's dedication to sustainability is evident in every aspect of the farm, from planting to harvesting.


Despite their initial lack of farming knowledge, the couple embraced the challenge with determination. They now live harmoniously within the local community, exchanging goods and contributing to a self-sufficient way of life without even owning a car. The journey from novice farmers to integral members of the Cuban countryside is truly inspiring. Experience the magic of Finca Tungasuk and taste the passion for sustainable living in every bite.

We will be searching for more fabulous experiences for you to try, where you can meet the locals, learn their stories and immerse yourself into the Cuban experience.
