Authentic Cuba Travel® announced the Jewish Heritage Cuba Tour, an eight-day educational journey from December 26, 2025, to January 2, 2026, designed for American travelers to explore Cuba's cultural tapestry with focus on Jewish communities. The tour provides access to UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Old Havana, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos, showcasing colonial architecture and African-Spanish influences that define the island's unique character.
Participants will engage with vibrant Jewish centers such as Centro Sefardita and Synagoga Beth Shalom in Havana, plus communities in Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba, reflecting historical Jewish immigration waves post-Spanish-American War. The itinerary includes private studio visits to artists and boutiques like 331 Art Space and Taller SantaCana, offering insights into Cuba's creative pulse alongside cultural exchanges that support private entrepreneurial activity under U.S. OFAC guidelines via General Licenses for Support for the Cuban People or Religious Activities.
Priced at $2,899 with inclusions like 5-star accommodations, meals, and luxury transportation, the tour emphasizes lawful, meaningful interactions that highlight resilience and hope within Cuban society, avoiding commercialized tourism to preserve authentic experiences.
