This amazing  trip explores  Cuba as a land whose riches are found in the hearts of its people.  With a written history that stretches back to the 15th Century, it has endured and thrived through time of colonial expansion, despotism, and revolution. This enduring spirit is expressed through art, music and crocodilec-dzain-cuba-webdedication to the preservation of its natural environment. You will see how the largest swampland in the Caribbean is protected for future generation of Cubans and native species. You will experience how art and music play an integral part in creating and preserving community cohesion in towns throughout the island. This is an island where richness is not measured in the tinkle of coins, but in the beats of a heart. Featured locations on this 9 day trip include: Havana, Cienega De  Zapata, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Clara, Remedios, Caibarien.
