Havana & Santiago de Cuba

9 Days / 8 Nights

Music and art is the heartbeat of this seductive and soulful island.  Insight Cuba’s "Cuban Music & Art" tour provides an opportunity to explore the thriving arts scene through performances, discussions, and events in both Havana and Cuba's second cultural mecca -  Santiago de Cuba. In this tour, you'll gain insight into this island's fascinating musical and artistic evolution.

The journey begins in Havana with a visit to the Callejón de Hamel (Hamel’s Alley) – a community project promoting Cuban music and culture. Participants meet with residents to discuss life in Havana, and also visit the Fine Arts Institute to learn about the state of art education. Although many activities are planned, there is always room for an impromptu cumancha (street party) or a stop at another live performance along the way.

After experiencing Havana, you'll fly to Santiago de Cuba, known as Cuba's most exotic city, and the cradle of all musical genres.
