This National Geographic Expeditions Cuba Trip has offered a spectacular opportunity to meet Cubans on their home turf and share with them our own impressions of their country. Though we explored several other areas in Cuba, we began and ended our expedition in the capital, Havana. With 2.2 million inhabitants, it’s impossible to caption this diverse and colorful city, but this handful of photos offers a little peek at the beauty of Havana and those who live there.

This trip is one of the many ways to travel with National Geographic Expeditions. To learn more about all of our travel programs, click here.
