In recent months, we’ve seen the restoration of ties continue between the US and Cuba, and more and more travelers are clamoring to visit the elusive island now, while it remains a genuine time capsule.

On Colors of Cuba, you have the opportunity to explore more of the island than with some of our other Cuba tours while staying in elegant 5 star hotels with authentic Cuban details and architecture. Your program takes you to Havana, Cuba’s colorful capital, the picturesque Spanish Colonial towns of Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara and Trinidad, and beyond. Cuba's culture is rich with contributions from its indigenous, African and European roots. But above all, the people of Cuba are the island's greatest asset. They are friendly, welcoming, resourceful and full of life. This program will introduce you to the people and provide ample opportunities to interact with them in meaningful and rewarding ways.

Friendly Planet is proud to be one of the first U.S. tour companies to have been awarded a People to People license. We received our first license in September, 2011, and since then, we’ve sent thousands of American travelers to Cuba to participate in unique, inspiring, and affordable encounters with the Cuban people.
