The Authentic Cuba Travel Difference

While there are many companies offering Cuba Education Tours, Authentic Cuba Travel stands out in numerous ways. You will find that there are a number of fantastic tours to choose from, each with its own blend of destinations and experiences and an itinerary that includes the chance to learn about the Cuban educational system. With Authentic Cuba Travel, personalized service is always a standard part of the package, and you will find that they offer the best chance to not only experience Havana, but to experience the island outside of its tourist centered capital as well.

A large percentage of Cuba Education Tours are centered on exploring UNESCO Heritage Sites and other destinations in and near Havana. While the city certainly offers much to see and do, there is so much more to Cuba than just Havana. A few tour companies also offer the chance to see Vinales, but finding a comprehensive Cuba tour can be difficult. With Authentic Cuba Travel, you can see not only Havana and Vinales, but UNESCO Heritage Sites in Trinidad, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba. You will find that these tours are designed to give you a genuine Cuban experience and to better show you all that this amazing island nation has to offer.

Why These Destinations Matter

Taking a Cuba Education Tour that offers you the chance to experience the entire island is rather important for educators and students alike. Havana is a remarkable city with many educational sites, but if you really want to experience Cuba, you can't overlook the importance of Santiago de Cuba. The island's second major metropolis, Santiago de Cuba is considered to be the capital of the Caribbean. With centuries of history, it is certainly a destination that no educational tour group should miss.

The destinations that you visit during Cuba Education Tours will play a large role in how well you grow to understand the island. The history of Cuba both past and present is incredibly rich, and traveling throughout the island offers you the chance to experience it in much more vibrant detail. The history of Cuba is not the only thing to learn, however, and you will find that opportunities for education abound. There are ample opportunities for anthropological study as you get to know the island's locals and to see how the relative isolation of the island allows them to better maintain their unique cultural identity.

Cuba is also one of the world's only self-sustaining nations, lending itself to a wide range of environmental and ecological studies. While a great deal of the nation's self-sustainability comes from the trade embargo, it certainly makes Cuba a fascinating educational study. Virtually everything eaten and used by the Cuban people is produced on the island, giving them a unique economy and making Cuba one of those destinations that truly have to be experienced to be understood.

The Authentic Cuba Travel Experience

When you decide to take a Cuba Education Tour with Authentic Cuba Travel, you get the opportunity to set your expectations a little higher. While all of the tours offer ample historic education opportunities in Havana, some tours also include destinations such as Santa Clara, which was the site of the Cuban Revolution's last battle, and Cammaguey, which is one of the nation's seven original settlements. The right tour for you depends on a number of things, including the time of year you wish to travel and the areas of Cuba that you most want to explore. Whether you are looking to get a taste of Havana and Vinales or to see as much of the nation as possible, you will find that there is a Cuba Education Tour perfectly suited to your needs. Authentic Cuba Travel can also work to create a customized education tour to better meet the needs of your group or organization.

While Cuba Education Tours are designed to provide a learning experience, visitors will find that they offer ample room for fun and exploration as well. Evenings are typically free, giving travelers the chance to explore beautiful beaches, lively shops, and of course, remarkable live Cuban music and dance. The people of Cuba have as many stories to tell as the historic sites themselves, and visitors will find that chatting with the locals can be quite educational, too. The 9 O'Clock Cannon ceremony is definitely one that is not to be missed while in Havana, and visitors will find themselves in beautiful accommodations throughout their visit.

Bella Travel Group Ltd. (Authentic Cuba Travel Group/ Hello Cuba Travel Group) is a full service travel agency based in Toronto, Canada that organizes cultural, educational and adventure tours for schools, NGOs, business and community groups.

Even though each year nearly 2 million tourists travel to Cuba, they hardly have the chance to get to know the authentic Cuba that lies beyond the confines of all-inclusive full-packed tourist resorts. Once back home, those travellers realize they have hardly "travelled" to Cuba. It might have been a nice and low cost package vacation from the cold weather, but they do not know much about Cuba's culture and its people.

Authentic Cuba Travel votes for a different kind of tourism for those travellers who demand more from their vacations. With over 24 fully escorted Cuba tours announced for 2011, ranging from educational and cultural to arts and architecture and festivals and events, Authentic Cuba Travel captures the Cuban identity that defines the island as a unique Caribbean nation.
