Subject: The latest from Cuba

Yoanis and Yunior are on the road, can share the latest insights

Hola Friend,


Como estas?


I have to say that I personally have a bit of a FOMO going on at the moment... Yoanis is on the ground in Cuba as we speak. It is actually quite funny to listen to the things that he as now gotten accustomed to and is missing from Australia. Before he left, he mentioned how quiet our neighbourhood was and asked if I ever missed the noise of Cuba?


Not sure if you have seen my post about Cubans being a noisy bunch 😀 I don't think they can do anything quietly. From the passionate conversations in the house or with friends (for the outside this can look like an argument) to the street vendors calling out, to the damn roosters, to music playing loud, there's not a quiet moment in the day. In the moment of asking the question, he felt like he was missing that as it is in great contract to our neighbourhood where you can hear a pin drop.


Personally I like both! You need a bit of 'life' at times and you need some peace and quiet. It seem Yo has now learnt to apperciate that now.


At our travel company, we not only support the local people, but the way we travel offers a unique way of experiencing Cuba. When you visit, you become truly immersed in the rich culture of this beautiful country. And it's not just a one-way experience - you also have the opportunity to share your own culture with our guides and the Cuban people.


It's incredible to witness the exchange of cultural differences without judging one as superior. In fact, these interactions have the power to plant seeds that can grow into something extraordinary.


Exciting News: Yunior Embarks on Two Captivating Tours!


Today, Yunior sets off on two thrilling tours that will take him all over Cuba for an entire month. We are thrilled to have visitors exploring this incredible destination. However, we understand that there have been concerns about food, fuel, and electricity in Cuba. These challenges have been around for years.


Currently, the main concern is that some of the essential supplies can only be found in specialized stores or with foreign currency. And without tourism, access to these supplies becomes even more challenging for the local people.


So here's the difference when you choose to travel with us: We directly pay our suppliers in MLC (the specialised local currency) or foreign currency. This means that from your driver to your guide to the owners of the casas you stay in, everyone is supported. And when you visit, you can see firsthand the families whose livelihoods have been positively impacted by your travels. In Cuba, this support extends to the entire extended family, as generations often live together under one roof.


Explore Beyond the Tourist Trail: Venture to Hidden Gems in Cuba


We are delighted to share that our second tour will take you off the beaten path, beyond the popular Trinidad line. With limited time and internal flights yet to resume, it is rare these days to visit places like Camaguey, Santiago de Cuba, and Baracoa. Unless, of course, you fly directly to these destinations. But there's something truly special about discovering the true essence of the island on a land tour.


Even better news: Some of our previous accommodation providers, who were severely impacted by the pandemic, have reopened to meet the growing demand in these cities. In fact, some are already fully booked. This is a testament to the incredible recovery and resilience of these businesses.


Revisit and Rediscover: Welcoming Back Travelers to Havana


Not only are we excited to have new visitors, but we also have the pleasure of welcoming back those who had their trips cut short by the pandemic. This weekend, we're showing them around Havana, giving them the chance to finally complete the Cuban adventure they had to leave behind. We can't wait to hear their perspectives on the changes that have taken place since 2020.



I've been hard at work planning our amazing private tours for next year. From February onwards, we have a variety of tours tailored specifically to each groups interests. Whether you're a history buff, a food and drink connoisseur, or someone who wants to connect with nature, we've got you covered.


I take great joy in creating personalized itineraries that cater to your unique preferences. When you come on our tours, you'll experience the best of Cuba, whether it's through diving into its rich history or immersing yourself in the art of cooking, cocktails, rum, and cigars. And if you simply want to relax and recharge in nature, we have options for that too.


Every itinerary is carefully crafted to ensure a truly exciting and memorable experience for you. Here's the best part: if you need help designing your own itinerary, just let me know! While there is a fee for this service, once you decide to book with us, the planning fee will be credited towards your booking.


So why wait? Join us for an unforgettable journey through Cuba, where you can immerse yourself in the culture while making a positive impact. It's time to get planning to experience the magic of this beautiful island and create memories that will last a lifetime.
