Cuba and the United States are physically close, but culturally separated by decades of geopolitical mistrust. Whether you are a U.S. citizen who has never been allowed to visit Cuba or you are an international student who hasn’t had the chance to experience Cuba’s warm culture, join us as we explore the nation! As relations between the United States and Cuba begin to thaw, join us for a tour of Cuba’s cultural treasures – Cuban food, beverage, arts, entertainment and cultural exploration!
Your leaders are incredibly excited about the trek, and they will be there for your every need. If you want to enhance the activity level of the trek with some extra workouts, Nate “shotskier” Underwood will be glad to accompany you for a morning run. If there aren’t enough hours of partying on a day’s schedule, Selena “Salsa till the sun comes up” Zhang will be glad to party until dawn and make sure you get home safe. If you wanna learn salsa but don’t know where to start, Selena will be very happy to accompany you dancing.
Given the ongoing U.S. embargo of Cuba, you may be curious about the legality of the trek. The educational nature of the trek qualifies us for a special U.S. Treasury Department program, so we are in compliance with all regulations.
