CUBA: HISTORY & HEMINGWAYFall 2017

Why would we not offer this chance to bea part of history? As the world changesit’s a great time to explore a country thattime only seemed to forget —one that hascontinued to prosper in arts and music andlovely, sandy stretches of beach resorts.Current restrictions have been greatlyreduced, but still U.S. travel is limited to“educational” and “people-to-people” ex-changes which suits MKL Tours fine, as anelement of education in our travel plans hasalways been part of what sets us apart.There is no doubt Cuba is one of the mostcompelling travel destinations in the Carib-bean. So much history has happened hereover the course of hundreds of years anddue to political issues straining Cuba traveland tourism, much of the Cuban culture liesrelatively untouched by outside influence.Getting to know the authentic Cuba meanstaking the time to see smaller towns andvillages. It means getting to explore Cuba’sarchitecture, see Cuba’s beautiful parksand nature reserves, hear Cuba’s music and

spend time with the Cuban people. Manypeople outside of Cuba know only whatthey have read in history books, or seen ontelevision, but the true Cuban experience isone that is richer, broader, and deeper thanyou could possibly imagine. MKL Toursis investigating and interviewing agenciesalready having extensive experience inCuba, including both U.S. and Canadianagencies. We know, at minimum, elementsto be included will be: exploration of ErnstHemingway’s 20 years in Cuba with a visitto his home FINCA LA FIGIA and one ofhis favorite watering holes RESTAURATELA FLORIDIA; one-on-one meetings withlocal artists and musicians; guided tour ofOLD HAVANA’S historic area and the CU-BAN MUSEUM OF ARTS. We’ll explorethe UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITEOF BIOSPHERE in Vinales Valley Village;and a relaxing visit to one of the country’spremier resorts, PLAYA CAYO SANTAMARIA, with it’s elegant and airy accom-modations and sandy beaches.

As our specific itinerary is still underway,we wanted to give you a heads-up, and toask if you have interest in such a traveljewel that you give us a quick call, oremail us at mkltours@fuse.net. Once tourdetails are available we will send out aspecial mailing and would love to includeyou among those getting first notice. Thistour offers a chance to be a part of history,sharing a new travel experience even themost experienced traveller never thoughtwould be available again. Editors Note:If you want to see a few of the sites we’llbe including, take yourself to see the firstU.S. movie made in Cuba in 50 years . . . “PAPA.” It’s beautifully filmed and agreat story — you won’t be disappointed.
