The Arlington Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce its second Cuba Getaway, in partnership with Chamber Explorations. From May 17-21, travelers will take a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to explore Cuba, a country where time has stood still. Participants can travel to Cuba with business colleagues, family, and community members.
With an itinerary reflecting a leisure trip, Cuba Getaway travelers will visit sights such as Ernest Hemingway's farm, the Museum of the Revolution, and a Havana cigar factory. Travelers will also have the opportunity to meet with the local Old Style Car Club owners and learn why Havana's streets are filled with vintage American automobiles and understand what it takes to keep them on the road.

"The culture of Cuba was fascinating. We saw a performance by Habana Compas Dance group, met a local sculptor in his studio, and visited the studio of the artist known as the “Picasso of Cuba.” We took a personal tour of Old Habana with the architect tasked with its renovation. We spent an evening at the Vegas-themed outdoor musical revue at Tropicana (think Godfather II with Fredo!). We toured the home of Ernest Hemingway, and enjoyed many wonderful meals – and mojitos – at the Paladars (privately owned restaurants). We paid a visit to a large art and craft market, and as the grand finale of our trip, were chauffeured to our final dinner in classic cars. No matter the experience, our senses were filled with vibrant color, sounds and smells! ... I loved every moment of my Cuban experience, and I would go back in a heartbeat to spend more time exploring the things I saw for an hour or two and to see more of the country." - Barbara Nicastro, Chamber member, 2016 Cuba Getaway traveler
