PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TRIP WAS ANNOUNCED PRIOR TO HURRICANES IRMA AND MARIA – CONTACT HOLBROOK TRAVEL FOR UPDATED INFORMATION. Join Pacific Horticulture February 18 – March 1 as we return to Cuba to explore the eastern end of the island. With a vibrant history and culture, Eastern Cuba is home to an abundance of endemic species and pristine natural preserves. Accompanied by expert in-country guides, we’ll explore forests, beaches, waterfalls, and breathtaking landscapes, as we visit some of the region’s most historic cities. See the ecosystems of Pinares de Mayarí and Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, where high levels of endemism translate to unique species found nowhere else. Discover Baracoa, Cuba’s oldest city, and Santiago de Cuba, the country’s first capital and the birthplace of the Revolution. You’ll also have the chance to explore the region’s breathtaking forests, beaches, waterfalls, and mountains.
