Miami’s Little Havana Culinary, Artistic and Cultural Tour  

June 11 | 7:30am – 6pm Tuesday

Miami  

Join us as we explore the rich history and culinary delights of a vibrant neighborhood. Little
Havana was recently listed as an official “national treasure” of the United States by the Nation-
al Trust for Historic Preservation. The neighborhood is well-known for its many historical, po-
litical, culinary, and artistic contributions to our Miami culture. Nestled in the heart of the city’s
downtown area and only a short drive from Miami’s famed South Beach, the neighborhood is
full of interesting cultural landmarks which we visit including a cigar factory, Domino Park,
Cuban Memorial Blvd., the Tower Theater, artist workshops and the Damas De Blanco Mural.
Enjoy delicious cuisine including empanadas, Cuban sandwiches, guayaba, croquetas, churros
and more at a diverse range of establishments; from 5-star gourmet to hole-in-the-wall ethnic
eateries. Departure information will be emailed 3 days prior to the trip. Itineraries are subject
to change.  

No refunds within 10 business days of departure.

Traveling to Cuba has been described as “life-changing.” In March 2025, please join us for a
six-night, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the country’s contemporary life that few visitors see.
Discover a country frozen in time, where colorful vintage cars line the streets like the 1950s
never ended. Yet, you’ll also find a nation on the verge of change. The question on everyone’s
minds—What will Cuba look like in 10 years?— will be answered by the diverse locals you’ll
meet throughout the program, from former ambassadors to emerging artists. Each will offer a
unique perspective that will challenge any preconceived notions.
