Celebrating Nature and Nurture
Part II

an unimaginable adventure to the eastern tip of Cuba
February 4-16, 2026 (CLOSED)

The Friendship Association supports cultural and environmental projects in Baracoa as well as emergency aid to the region during times of natural disasters.

We will have a full schedule of travel under the categories of Support for the Cuban People and Humanitarian Projects in accordance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) guidelines for a general license.

An intense itinerary will include a strong focus on meaningful interaction with our Cuban counterparts through formal and informal meetings and projects. Each participant is obligated to keep records for possible review by the US Treasury Dept.

Emphasis is on gaining an appreciation of the work that Cuban historians and naturalists are doing to protect historic sites, cultural traditions, and to nourish and preserve the environment in Cuba. We will meet with outstanding Cuban environmentalists, archaeologists, historians, artists and artisans, and visit our ongoing community projects. There will be a beach cleanup with the local school children and a visit to our community art and environment projects.
