Havana and/or The Other Side of Cuba Tour in Private Homes

Havana is also the former home of Nobel Prize winning America author Earnest Hemingway. His home is located just outside of Havana and is now a museum where his fishing boat, The Pillar is located. For those of you looking to visit its former port, Cojimar, we can also arrange that for you.

Our scouts have been traveling here for many years and often visited with his boat captain, Gregorio Fuentes in his home to discuss fishing techniques and hear him tell stories of “Papa”, as he was known.

Introduction to Cuba Tour for Snowbirds and Potential Residents

Any visit to Cuba has to start with Havana. The capital of Cuba is a living museum with its many architectural gems and historical landmarks. The city offers restaurants, bars, music venues, and many unique cultural activities.

The best way to see Havana is on foot since most of its construction was completed well before the arrival of the automobile. Havana is by far the safest city in Latin America and a place where you can feel comfortable and carefree while strolling down its streets.
