Varadero (MUST PAY IN FULL BEFORE JUNE 2, 2023 IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE)
Varadero is one of the world's best known destinations, and no wonder. Its spectacular beaches of fine sand, the natural wonders that surround it such as the Cuevas de Bellamar (Bellamar Caves) or the Cienaga de Zapata (Zapata Swamp), along with the variety of activities to do make it an ideal destination. Varadero is the perfect combination of natural beauty and traditional Cuban culture. Your experience these two days include spending two nights at Mystique Casa Perla.
Monday, November 20 - Following breakfast and check-out we will begin our 2.5 hour drive to Varadero. Upon arriving in Varadero, we will check-in at the Mystique Casa Perla and the rest of the afternoon and evening are on your own. (Breakfast and lunch included)
Tuesday November 21 -
After breakfast, we will visit the baseball stadium “Palmar de Junco”, a historic facility where the first recorded organized baseball game in the country was played in 1874. Famous Cuban baseball players like Martin Dihigo, Jose de la Caridad Mendez (The Black Diamond), Gaspar “El Curro” Perez, and Lazaro Junco played on this field over the years. The ballpark is still a working facility, serving as a provincial academy for young players.
Before returning to the hotel, we will visit Ediciones Vigia, a unique publishing house founded in 1985. It produces handmade paper and first edition copies of books. Only 200 copies of each book are made so each is a collector’s item. We will meet with the Director Agustina Ponce, publishers and artists.
After lunch, the rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy until we gather at 5:00 PM for a visit to the Varadero Dance Academy for a rumba workshop. Dinner is at your leisure.
