• Learning about Havana’s unique architecture from a local architect, including the religious and cultural aspects that have influenced the structures
• Taking a guided tour through world-famous Colon Cemetery, where an expert will explain the flamboyant chapels, vaults, tombs and galleries
• Dining at a paladar with a local clergy, discussing Cuban life today

• Attending a private candlelight choir concert at San Francisco De Asis Church with members of the community
• Visiting Finca Vigia, Ernest Hemingway’s beloved home (his fishing boat is still there)

• Learning about the Black Madonna at the Church of Our Lady of Regla, where Christianity and the Santeria religion are practiced side-by-side
