Tours
At Cuba Discovery Tours we go beyond the traditional beach vacation and facilitate interactive opportunities with Cubans. These arranged visits include various places of employment, education and sometimes Cubans in their homes. When tour participants are asked what was their favourite aspect of the tour it is often these exchanges. All of the tours are balanced with Cuba's many "must see" tourist attractions and places of interest. Down time at a quiet beach location, a sense of camaraderie, and a relaxed pace complete the perfect recipe for a memorable vacation. Our success is attested to by our many repeat clients.

Costa Rica in Depth – Nature, Culture and History: February 3 - 17 , 2010
San José (1), Tortuguero (2), Turrialba (2), Puerto Viejo de Talamanca (3), Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí (2),
Arenal Volcano (3), San José(1)
 
We have designed this fully escorted 2 week tour to Costa Rica following the same concept as our Cuban tours – multiple night stays, small group of primarily 50+ aged travellers, a relaxed pace, and meeting with Costa Ricans where they live and work.

Many tours to Costa Rica center around the rainforests and volcanoes, and rightly so, however in addition to this our tour gives you a much more in-depth experience which includes historical sites, visits to farms, plantations, an indigenous community and more. You will learn about the past and present history, and seeing how people live in today’s Costa Rica, directly from the people.

“I like the idea of several nights in one location. It allows for a more in-depth opportunity to “experience” the area.

Lima (1 night), Chiclayco (2), Trujillo (2), Ollantaytambo (2), Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu (1), Cuzco (3), Amazon (3)  
   

Northern Peru holds many of the county’s best ruins and is not often included on escorted tours.  We think you should see this spectacular area in addition to Machu Picchu.  We have arranged private visits with a fisherman, Shaman, and horse breeder to name a few of our people-to-people encounters.  And then we finish the tour deep in the Amazon at a small lodge.  Two and three night stays, small group of primarily 50+ years, and many extra inclusions await you on this unique tour.
