Our PuertoRicoCubArtEdu Experience

Since 2000 we have served hundreds of participants in many customized Journeys for not-for-profit organizations such as Dunedin Fine Art Center, Art Center Sarasota, Sarasota Lifelong Learning Academy, School of the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston, Cambridge Center for Adult Education, Cambridge College, and Sarasota Cuban Ballet School. The design of journeys for not-for-profit organizations can include a fundraising feature.

The New York Times, Boston Globe, El Nuevo Dia, Boston Herald, CNN.com, National Public Radio, Art and Antique Magazine and United Press International have reviewed our programs.

Our Journeys enjoy great success due to small size groups, experienced Journey Leaders, detailed itineraries, reasonable costs and the friendly hospitality of our tour support staff in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Marcos,
Two encredible trips.
You shared with me the wonders of your city, allowed me to meet your wonderful family, but mostly allowed me the opportunity to fall in love with Cuba. Thank you Doug

Shortly after arriving to Florida, we ventured forth to Cuba for a visit with our friend Marcos' family and a private tour of Havana and the western Cuban countryside. What wonderful memories we have of 102nd birthday celebration of Marcos' mother Delia. Gracious people in a wonderful country.

License to Travel to Cuba

Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) General License for People to People (P2P) (515.565 b)

Based on new regulations (2022) for travel to Cuba, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the agency regulating the embargo against Cuba, made the following announcement regarding group travel to Cuba. We only promote group travel to Cuba under the regulations of OFAC's educational people-to-people license.

Group people-to-people travel is educational travel not involving academic study pursuant to a degree program that takes place under the auspices of an organization that is subject to U.S. jurisdiction that sponsors such exchanges to promote people-to-people contact. Travelers utilizing this travel authorization must maintain a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities that are intended to enhance contact with the Cuban people, support civil society in Cuba, or promote the Cuban people’s independence from Cuban authorities, and that will result in meaningful interaction between the traveler and individuals in Cuba. An employee, consultant, or agent of the group must accompany each group to ensure that each traveler maintains a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities.

Based on this announcement, our programs are authorized and will be delivered in compliance with the new regulations.
