Cuba 
A mere 90 miles from Miami, Cuba was once a popular destination for American tourists until politics, revolution and international intrigue got in the way. Today the island is a mirage in the minds of most travelers, a mysterious yet romantic place where cigars, antique cars, baseball and bearded guerrilla fighters loom largest. Cuba is place of dichotomies: decaying cities occupied by a highly educated population, socialist fervor overlaid with a fascination of America. Cuba’s charm is undeniable and we are thrilled to offer a program that pushes participants to dig into history and confront the truths and exaggerations of the island’s reputation.
We recognize the extraordinary role that meaningful international travel can play in shaping the lives of young people, and strive to create itineraries which push travelers to see themselves and the places they visit in a new and exciting light.

Global Leadership Activities
Walking Tree Travel has developed tools that will help our travelers mature as global leaders before, during, and after their travel program. These simple, engaging activities are meant to spark discussion, frame the group’s experience, and prepare participants to travel ethically and effectively on our programs now and on their own into the future. Our activities also encourage students to take initiative as leaders in their local communities to make a difference at an immediate level, helping them to understand the impact they can have when they combine cultural understanding with personal and social responsibility.
