Join Professor Pancho Savery in Cuba to experience a timeless yet rapidly evolving Cuba on a behind-the-scenes travel program—exclusively for Reed College alumni and parents—this October 14–20, 2023.

With our home base in Havana, Cuba’s vibrant cultural and creative hub, we will delve into the fascinating history, politics, and economy of the Cuban people. I’ve led journeys to this marvelously rich country before, and I’m eager to share my insights on the communities and cultures that make Cuba so rewarding to explore.

Trip highlights:

ENGAGE in intimate discussions at the homes and studios of artists.
DELIGHT in a curator-led tour at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Havana, with its impressive collection of Cuban artworks and international masterpieces.
MEET the thought leaders who are shaping Cuban society, including the former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, who will share profound insights on Cuban politics.
VENTURE to the picturesque Cuban countryside for a behind-the-scenes tour of a beautiful tobacco plantation led by its farmers. 
DELVE into the life of Ernest Hemingway at Finca Vigía, the house where he lived for 20 years, with a glimpse of his famous fishing boat Pilar.
