February, 2014 – People to People Tour of Cuba

The Pacific Horticulture Society is thrilled to offer a third Cuba tour in February, 2014, escorted by PHS board member Katherine Greenberg.   The People-to-People Exploration of Cuba begins in Havana. You’ll visit botanic gardens, a community project for sustainable agriculture, as well as the reforestation project at Las Terrazas, Orquideario Soroa, and the vast wetlands of Zapata National Park, the mountain station at Topes de Collantes, and the extraordinary plant life in the Sierra De Escambray.  The itinerary also includes the fascinating colonial cities of Trinidad and Cienfuegos on the south coast.   The tour is pending renewal of Pacific Horticulture’s travel license.  Space is limited to twenty people and is expected to fill quickly.  For more information contact Betchart Expeditions at 800-252-4910 or www.betchartexpeditions.com.
