Corazon Cuba

I spent around 3 weeks in January in Cuba and I fell in love with every minute I spent in Cuba. New friendships formed at the hostel, amazing staff, fun classes and, of course, amazing Havana! I can't wait for my second trip!!

I've always wanted to know Cuba, but as an American, I had a lot of fear and concern for my safety. That's where Corazón Cuba helped me the most. Having a "home base" with friendly, amazing people to help me navigate the cultural differences and become confident to walk alone in the streets of old Havana. It was an invaluable month-long experience for me and I made amazing friends from all over Europe, friends for life. Salsa classes, cultural tours of the city, trips to Viñales and Trinidad, we did so many things that pushed me past my comfort zone. It was an amazing experience. I do recommend a month-long stay to truly start to understand Cuban life and feel more at home. I recommend bringing antibiotics, medications, deodorant, mosquito spray, etc, as those things are not available in Cuba. Pack 1/2 your suitcase with gifts and donations... You will be glad you did. The Cuban people are so lovely, but you must remember the country is in difficult times and you are there to understand and have a better awareness about how you can help. It was a life changing and humbling experience. I highly recommend going to see Cuba for yourself!

I went to Cuba in August this year and stayed to weeks in Habana. It was a great experience. Language course was amazing as well as dance lessons. I had a nice room with my own bathroom not far from school. I met a lot of new great people. Would do it anytime again
