What to Expect
Participants must be able to walk for long distances over uneven cobblestones and up and down stairs without problems. Cuba’s infrastructure is weak, and participants need to have a spirit of adventure and be prepared for possible, but unlikely, temporary power outages and non-functioning elevators. This is a fast-paced program.
