Our Services

Havana Culinary and Culture is the leader in organizing legal, customized travel to Cuba. Our people-to-people license (No. CT-2013-300203-1) allows us to legally bring U.S. citizens and residents to Cuba in order to learn about the county and its people. We also work closely with Cuba Educational Travel (No. CT-2012-294261-1), another people-to-people license holder. Whether you want to interact with the Cuban arts community, learn how to prepare traditional dishes from Cuban chefs, collaborate with small farmers involved in sustainable agriculture, or learn about some other aspect of Cuban society, Havana Culinary and Culture will organize the most dynamic trip possible to ensure you get the real Cuban experience. All trips provide a set of activities that give a general overview of the history and culture of the country and maximize interaction with Cubans of different walks of life. There is no minimum number of participants and our groups range from two to twenty-five participants.

Cuba offers exciting research opportunities in everything from science to the arts. However, navigating the process for receiving permission from the U.S. and Cuban governments can be tricky and time-consuming. Furthermore, access to key individuals and sites is vital for successful research trips to the island. We can facilitate the approval process and assist and/or develop your research agenda in Cuba. Havana Culinary and Culture also provides advice and assistance on Treasury Department licensing issues and the visa request process with the Cuban government.
