You'll have a double-occupancy bedroom and en-suite bathroom in one of CAYO’s vetted casa particulares, beautiful colonial houses in safe, quiet neighborhoods. Single occupancy bedroom available for an extra fee. Daily breakfast is provided by casa staff.

The week’s itinerary includes visits with independent business owners and artists in Cuba, time to observe CAYO teaching artists and students at work in our partner schools, and a special day trip to neighboring Matanzas and the beautiful beaches of Varadero. Highlights include private performances by Cuba's young generation of jazz and popular musicians. Celebrate cultural diplomacy and the power of music to connect the world!
