From Havana to Guantanamo: Choose between a bus tour of the entire island or a flight, combined with a seminar in Guantanamo calling for an end to foreign military bases

Join us on this unique trip to Cuba to coincide with the International Seminar for Peace and the Elimination of Military Bases that will be held in the city of Guantanamo. Participants will have the opportunity to join with people from around the world to call for an end to foreign military bases, especially the US base in Guantanamo that houses the infamous US prison. Participants of the bus trip will also get a tour of the entire island by traveling by bus. Visits include the cities of Villa Clara, Camaguey, Holguin, and Santiago de Cuba on our way to Guantanamo Province and visits to Bayamo, Trinidad, Cienfuegos and Havana after the seminar. There will also be a stop at Biran Farm, the birthplace of Fidel Castro. The trip will allow visitors to get to know Cuba and its culture, including music and art.
