Authentic Cuba Travel in coordination with Cuba’s Teachers Union, the University of Havana and the University of Santiago de Cuba warmly invites teachers, professors, and educators from Canada, United States and all over the world to join this official Cuba education tour taking place from November 20 to November 27, 2011. Cuba, with its mix of Spanish and African roots, is the largest, least comm
ercialized, and most exciting island in the Caribbean. Nowhere in Cuba is it more evident than in the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba, the second major metropolis in the largest Antillean Island, boasting the privilege of being considered the capital of the Caribbean, due to its centuries-old history. This tour is also a brilliant way of seeing the real Cuba; such a passionate and patriotic people have transformed this country into a very environmentally friendly place (Cuba is one of the few self sustainable countries in the world); partly because of the trade embargo, meaning that nearly everything the Cuban population uses is made and produced in Cuba and as a result is sustainable.
