CUBA / Ernest Hemingway, An American in Cuba
50 years after his death, Cuba has not forgotten Ernest Hemingway. A jaunt in the footsteps of the 1954 winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, from his room in the Ambos Mundos Hotel to the bars of Havana, from the fishing village of Cojimar to his house in San Francisco de Paula.

CUBA / The past conjugates into the present !
From the shaded squares of old Havana to the small streets of Trinidad, Cuba offers an amazing trip in time. Different eras emerge from the past and mix together. A side trip to the Viñales Valley and Cojimar adds even more to the unusual experience.
