Havana & CUBA

Join us for our third photography tour to Cuba in February 2027. You’ll explore the timeless streets of Old Havana, wander through the tobacco farms of Viñales, and spend time in a mix of colonial towns and villages on the way to both Trinidad and Cienfuegos. The tour blends lively city scenes with quieter locations, giving you a strong mix of subjects to work with.

You’ll have time for street work, interiors, landscapes, and details. Each stop is planned around light, access, and the type of spaces that you will enjoy shooting. You’ll move at a steady pace, with room to wait for the right moment, revisit a spot, or explore a corner that catches your eye.

Landscapes

Our tour will also lead us to the enchanting towns of Viñales and Trinidad. Viñales known for its breathtaking karst landscape, tobacco fields, and traditional farming practices. Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its beautifully preserved colonial architecture and vibrant cobblestone streets. Both town’s boast a lively spirit and stunning mountain backdrops offering unforgettable scenes.

Architecture

From the countless exteriors of Havana to the cities hidden interiors, we will explore and re-visit some gems in this world renowned architectural paradise. We then venture into Cienfuegos, known as the "Pearl of the South." This coastal city is rich with French-inspired architecture, pastel-coloured facades, and scenic views along the Bay of Cienfuegos. It is truly a hidden gem to explore.

Old Havana

Old Havana's architecture is a rich tapestry of history, blending influences from Spanish colonial, baroque, neoclassical, and Art Deco styles into a unique urban landscape. The cobblestone streets wind past pastel-colored buildings adorned with ornate balconies, intricate ironwork, and grand colonial facades, evoking a bygone era of elegance and charm.

New Perspectives

Cuba’s colonial facades are full of history and texture, but we go looking for something more. Angles, layers, and light reveal fresh perspectives in familiar places. In Cuba, many locals spend time outdoors — playing dominoes, fixing cars, or chatting on doorsteps. This creates open, engaging scenes where it’s easier to photograph daily life without needing long lenses or hidden angles.
