Travel to Cuba: Why You Should Go Now

​July 2026 Update: The rush to Cuba is on.  The numbers don’t lie.  This past week, our Support for the Cuban People trip page had 68 views, up 80% from the week before.  Visits to our Contact page jumped 30%.  People are done waiting.
With US policy always in flux and airlines shifting routes, travelers are locking in legal trips to Cuba now, while they can.
Our next group is Sept 9-14, 2026, and we’re down to 4 spots left.  If you’ve been on the fence, this is the moment.

Should you be thinking about visiting Cuba, there's one thing I want to tell you: don't wait.
The window for U.S. citizens to travel legally to Cuba is open — for now. But it may not stay that way.
Under the current U.S. regulations, you can visit Cuba through the Support for the Cuban People license. This means you’re not just a tourist to them— you’re a lifeline. When you travel with intention, you uplift real people through every experience.
What does this look like?

• Staying in casas particulares (family-owned homes)
• Eating at private, home-grown restaurants
• Working with local drivers, guides, and artists
• Bringing essential items like over-the-counter medications or hygiene products
• Booking through small, woman-owned agencies like mine, with deep roots and real connections on the island

I was born and raised in Cuba. My family still lives there. And I’ve dedicated my business to creating immersive, legal, culturally respectful travel experiences that support everyday Cubans.

But there’s growing concern that the U.S. government could restrict this kind of travel again, just as it did under previous administrations. Once that happens, it may be years before opportunities like this return.
Now is the time. Travel with purpose. Experience Cuba with a trusted guide and make a real impact.
