Kay and Guillermo enjoyed their Easter weekend city break in a beautiful old American car!

An action packed weekend was complete with sun, sand, rum, music and art. Fine cigars were smoked, vegan food was on the menu too for Kay. The benefits of free enterprise ensured a choice of restaurants are now available to cater to special diets.

Our choice of BnB accomodation in a casa particular in the old city of Habana Vieja is the perfect base for this weekend extravaganza!

Don’t expect to be ready for work on Monday!

My Cuban Suitcase!

Packing for your holiday in Cuba needs some thought! We at Encompass Tours are familiar with the situation and we’d like to pass on some packing tips!

Apart from the usual “clothing to suit the weather conditions and activities you plan to participate in” What else??????

Knowing what conditions are on the ground and that the US trade embargo means that shopping for EVERYTHING can be either limited, difficult or impossible to get in Cuba.
