Simply put, Cuba is like no other place on earth. The spellbinding history from the early Caribbean-Spanish explorers to the mid- twentieth century reads like a legendary novel. Life for the Cuban people changed dramatically in the 1960’s. It’s as if the country was placed in a time capsule for fifty years and suddenly emerged, opening the doors to all who wish to explore. One can certainly feel the complexities of Cuba’s history and the strength of those who call it their home. The music makes you dance and the arts convey the struggles and triumphs. Cuba is absolutely fascinating.
Hunt’s Photo and Don Toothaker want to welcome you to this special photography workshop. We plan to challenge you to slow down, think, observe, anticipate and feel each and every shot. Our days will be full of photographic opportunities, instruction and discussion as we experience a very unique look into the heart and soul of Cuba.

•8 days & 7 nights in Havana and Cienfuegos, Cuba.
•24/7 Photography coaching, tips, tutorials and lessons.
•Round trip airfare from Miami, Tampa, or Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Havana.

•All meals are included (two “mixed” National drinks). Due to the nature of this photography tour, some lunches may be light and “on the go”. Cuba has no fast food restaurants so we will do our best to keep the photographers happy and well fed while out in the field. Please advise us about any restrictions or food allergies.
Your trip does not include:
•Round-trip travel from your home to Miami, Tampa, or Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Please note: If you are coming from the Greater Boston area, we may be able to fly directly into Havana.
