May Day in Havana plus visit to Pinar del Rio’s rural communities and Viñales countryside
If you want to join Havana’s legendary May Day march in Revolution Square this year you’ll need to book quickly as there’s just six spaces left on our popular May Day Study Tour.
This fantastic tour offers participants a special invitation to attend the May Day Rally in Plaza de la Revolución, joining over one million Cubans to mark this important day in the Cuban political calendar.
The tour includes a 3 night stay in Pinar del Río province, with visits to rural health and educational services and to an agricultural cooperative in the fascinating landscapes of Viñales. You’ll also meet with Cuban trade union organisations and visit workplaces, schools and local health care centres. Plus there’s plenty of time to relax and enjoy Cuban history, culture and music.
Participants can also take part in the International Solidarity Conference, sharing ideas and values with our Cuban hosts and participants from around the world.
No other country celebrates May Day quite like Cuba. The colour, music and joyous atmosphere of hundreds of thousands of Cuban’s celebrating together is a once in a lifetime experience. Find out how you can join this year’s celebrations in Havana.
