Travel to Cuba’s western and central provinces, including Havana, Santa Clara and Pinar del Río

As Cuba approaches the 60th anniversary of the revolution, this is a unique opportunity to visit and explore some of the key sites relevant to Che Guevara’s role in the struggle against dictator Batista and US imperialism, meet the Cuban people in their neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools with time to relax and enjoy the local culture and stunning scenery. Find out about the achievements of the Revolution as well as the problems caused by the US blockade of over 57 years through unique and inspiring visits.
