Why You Want a Cuba Adventure for Your Next Getaway
Travel bans are beginning to lift globally, and you might be thinking about getting away for a little bit. Of course, there are so many places to visit, and you really want to try something exciting, relaxing, and unique. Have you thought of having a Cuba adventure? Since the travel ban to Cuba fully lifted in 2015, new adventures to this gorgeous Caribbean Island are now available to American tourists. We’re excited to share beautiful and culturally rich Cuba with you, in this new era of adventure travel.
What’s so special about a Cuba adventure?
Cuba isn’t just any old Caribbean island. This island has been widely untouched since 1963, and is home to miles of pristine coastline, perfect for snorkeling and diving, as well as mountain hikes with stunning views. Furthermore, it's a vibrant and colorful island, still driving around 1950’s vintage cars and brightly colored homes that would even put San Francisco to shame.
There’s really no better time than now to meet and learn from the local people, tour the colorful Spanish colonial style plazas, drive in style with a baby blue1950’s era Chevy, and enjoy the crystal blue coastlines without crowds!
Sounds amazing? Join us at Drishti Journeys for our Cuba yoga retreat and experience a Cuba adventure like no other. Our one-of-a-kind itinerary is certain to inspire and educate, surprise and delight you, every day.

We will be guided by one of our internationally recognized yoga teachers daily throughout each of our Cuba yoga retreats. This means we will deepen our yoga practice, connect with mother nature and ourselves, and immerse ourselves in Cuban culture. All during one incredible and unique Cuba adventure getaway!
Salsa Lessons in Havana
You may not know it, but each latin culture has its own style of salsa dancing! In the 1970’s, the name Salsa Cubana (also known as Casino Salsa) was coined to help differentiate the style from other latin cultures. This unique salsa style is deeply influenced by Afro-cuban culture, and exceptionally fun! You’re going to have a great time learning how to salsa during one of our evenings out on the town in Havana.
Pristine Beaches North of Havana
One thing Cuba is known for is its pristine beaches with azure colored water. Furthemore, it has a surprisingly varied and active sea life just a little while off the main shore. So whether you’re looking to relax and lounge at the beach, or if you’re more interested in a snorkeling adventure — there are stunning views everyone can enjoy from the sandy banks, or just minutes off the shoreline. We’ve found that the best and most relaxing beaches in Cuba really are found on the North shore, with less crowds and more open space. Here the beach is relaxing and fun, with bright and colorful oceanic views! We can’t wait to show you at our next Cuba retreat.
Explore Vinales Valley
What’s a Cuba adventure without a little light hiking and stunning views? Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for old tobacco growing fields in 1999, you’re going to love the views and unique history surrounding Vinales Valley. Complete with bilingual guides to explain the history, show the path, and even point out the unique flora and fauna that live local to the area (like the Bee Hummingbird). Furthermore, we also include a private horseback ride and a visit to organic tobacco farm for a cigar rolling workshop! If that doesn’t sound like an incredible day, we don’t know what would.
As you can see, our unique Cuba yoga retreat itinerary will make your Cuba adventure a delightful experience rich in culture, experiences, and connections.
