The Salsa experience in Cuba is still alive and well. In the recent past, Americans could go to Cuba legally on a cultural license and spend the majority of their time experiencing everything salsa.

Now, with the new OFAC (Washington) guidelines, it is only during free time that travelers can experience salsa. Our travelers are on a humanitarian mission with a full time program, experiencing their spiritual and religious traditions.

Our Cuban program offers a choice of some twenty-five opportunities to visit church- or synagogue-sponsored community outreach programs.

The core of Cuba’s spiritual traditions is reflected in the centuries-old practices in many faiths—Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, as well as the unique Afro-Cuban influence. These faith traditions are interwoven into every aspect of Cuban life.

Our programs and itinerary provide a dynamically diverse experience and are based on the religious, spiritual and other interests of the travelers.

There will also be time for you to explore Havana on your own, when you can experience more of the culture through music, dance.

We emphasize legal, Washington approved, personalized trips to Cuba, with small groups of people (1-5) Trips leave every Friday at 12:30 on Friday afternoon and returns the next Friday at 11 pm in the evening. Direct flights every Friday from LAX, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Also Miami and New York flights available.

Legally: We travel under a U.S. Treasury Department License that allows direct access form the U.S. to Cuba. Our groups have special access to excellent accommodations, the finest bi-lingual tour guides, and the best kept secrets of Havana.

You will be flying direct from LAX aboard a Taca Airlines 320 Airbus Charter Carrier. Cuba Travel Service, one of only a handful of companies granted permission by the US Government to conduct charter flights directly from the US to Cuba, will be our travel provider. We will be traveling under a license that has been issued by OFAC, the Office of Foreign Assets Control and approved both by the US and Cuban governments. Direct flights are also available from New York's JFK and Miami.


Poverty and government restrictions remain facts of life. It is important to remember that, as in early travel to other communist countries, poor and slow service, minor glitches and last minute changes or cancellations are common.

A great care has been taken to insure that your accommodations, meals, and amenities are the best available, circumstances beyond our control may alter our choices.

Payment: Three months prior to departure, $ 500 deposit is due. Two months prior to departure payment in full is due.

Refund Guide Lines:

  • Cancellations made with more than 14 days until departure will be charged $ 500.
  • Cancellations made 4 - 13 days until departure will be charged 50%.
  • No cancellations will be accepted with 3 or less days remaining until departure. These cancellations will forfeit the entire cost of the trip.
  • All cancellations must be in writing by fax transmittal to our office: 1-310-204-0880

Special Note: The Cuban Ministry of Transportation guidelines necessitate that American travelers pay significantly higher prices than those from other countries. An American traveler will typically find that the (always changing) prices quoted at reservation desks are one-forth to one-third LESS than you paid through your ground package. We have no control over this situation and pay the public price for all accommodations.

 

Cuba's Religions is a non-profit organization based in Los Angeles. As a non-denominational, multi-religious organization, we explore the many religious faiths that exist in Cuba today: including Catholicism, the Protestant churches affiliated with the Cuba Council of Churches, the five Jewish synagogues in Havana and the Afro-Cuban religion.

Since the Pope's visit in 1998, Cubans are able to practice religion more freely. Cuba's Religions seeks the universal truths that exist in each of these religions. We believe that this type of dialogue and interaction will lead to a greater understanding of the peoples of Cuba and the U.S.
