USA Cuba Travel Regulations Explained
USA Cuba Legal Travel
On June 9, 2022, the Department of The Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published the new amendments to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 CFR part 515. The existing 12 categories of Cuba legal travel remain in place. The General License for Group People-to-people Educational Travel has been reinstated while the General License for Individual People-to-people Educational Travel has been eliminated. The US embassy in Havana will remain open and commercial flights are allowed to Havana and other regional cities. Learn more about the updated
Cuba Travel Regulations
"First of all, our trip to Cuba turned out to be one of the outstanding experiences of my life. It far exceeded my expectations. Initially, the main reason for going was the music, but as it turned out, seeing the culture, seeing the people, meeting the people, interacting with some of our fellow travelers and other attractions dominated." Fred Friedman
"Over the last several years I have led numerous Study Abroad trips with my students. None of them had been to Cuba. This last Spring, I crafted a business course to Cuba to explore the emergence of entrepreneurship in the country. I needed to find a vendor with extensive knowledge and contacts on the ground, that could organize not only a culturally rich experience, but also a very targeted academically ambitious program. Authentic Travel Cuba was that outfit." Jose Gonzalez, Belmont University
"From start to finish our trip to Cuba was spectacular. Your patient attention to details and reassurance that all was in order was greatly appreciated. You walked us through each and every step and provided us with all the tools necessary for a successful trip. There wasn't a single question that you didn't answer and the trip proceeded without a glitch or misstep. Then there was the itinerary for this educational tour to Cuba. I can't imagine a more comprehensive and well scheduled tour." Mary Jones
"I just wanted to say thank you for arranging our trip to Cuba. I just got back yesterday and the trip was incredible. I LOVE Cuba and can't wait to go back. The trip was very organized, informative, and I learned so much. Alexis, our local guide, was the best-- so much knowledge!! And our driver, Ramon was so much fun. I also loved the music we had with the new group Autotiempo...it was a private show! So good!!! We had a memorable experience." Nahyon Le
"I am on the plane home from Miami. I wanted to tell you that we all had a really good Jewish trip to Cuba. It's a fascinating country with a lot of potential for the future. The people were warm and welcoming. Mirelys was as good a guide. She went out of her way to accommodate all our requests and changes and add-ons. She couldn't have been more cooperative. Efrin, our driver was also very capable. We appreciated all that you and Authentic did to make our trip so rewarding." Arthur Selkowitz
"Seeing 12 of the endemic bird species of Cuba and all the other great birds was a big highlight. Also swimming in the cave and under the waterfall. Lobster and shrimp was good too! Fabulous coffee at Maria's cafe! And thanks to all in the group for the fabulous memories!" Sheila Ziman
"Still recovering from the journey home. Great trip. David is a terrific guide and Enrique got us around safely with a big smile. I will be happy to be a reference person for you and will share photos when they are processed. Thank you for your help and guidance for the Cuba cultural trip. We got home without any hassle." Lawrence Sherwin
"The trip that Authentic Cuba Travel® put together for us was fabulous. We all loved David, our Cuban guide. He did an exceptional job. He made the trip even better than it would have been without him. Enrique, the bus driver, was an excellent driver, great sense of humor and seemed to know how to avoid every bump in the roads. All in all, the trip was exceptional. I will be happy to give anyone rave reviews about our photography trip to Cuba." Richard Farnell
"The International Havana Jazz Festival was amazing and we got to listen and see artist that we would never have encountered. We had heard about the music in Cuba from friends that have attended the International Jazz festival in the past. Your organization of this tour made it so easy for us as we did not have to worry about planning our day. The trip was first class and our thanks again for putting together an amazing package." George and June Kawaguchi
"Only ninety miles from the United States, Cuba is virtually unknown to most Americans, inspiring, at best, superficial and contradictory images of an island paradise and an island prison. To help our students overcome such a deficit of information, Western Kentucky University sponsored its first ever Cuban study-abroad program during the 2013 winter term. As the co-leader for fourteen students and three non-credit participants, I was particularly grateful for the thoughtful & efficient arrangements that Authentic Cuba Travel® provided." Walker Rutledge

Reviews & Testimonials



"Our trip to Cuba was unbelievable and I have only one word to describe it ILEANA. Her knowledge of the country and her openness made the education components of the trip so wonderful for our students. She also could be tough when needed to protect our students and gentle when they need encouragement. The students all loved her and our bus drive. Hotels and staffs were great! " S. Kent Miller, Culver-Stockton College

"The Cuba trip, being my first time out of the country, holds a special place in my heart. I had many wonderful first-time experiences — my first plane ride, my first time through customs, to mention a few. This, accompanied with all the amazing activities, meals, and company that came with it, made the trip one of the best experiences of my life." James McNulty, Hotchkiss High School Student

Cuba Travel for Lawyers
Reviews & Testimonials



"Our judicial Cuba trip was absolutely fantastic in every way--a trip of a lifetime. But I would be remiss if I did not tell you that our tour guide, Iliana, was so fantastic that I am still shaking my head in awe. I think she could single handedly re-establish diplomatic relations between beautiful Cuba and US. Your itinerary and lectures were so thoughtfully put together. It was a fabulous trip." Martha Simonett

Bird Watching Cuba Tours
Reviews & Testimonials



"Seeing so much of the country was wonderful. Happening upon the sugarcane harvest was wonderful. I am glad we got to see the main birds we hoped to see- but the birding itself was the least important part of the trip. Another highlight was our last night together- we could not have been in a better place (Chez...)- great meal, fun waitstaff, great company. Well done! " Ralph Van Dusseldorp

Havana Book Fair
Reviews & Testimonials



"As an author, I am particularly interested in writing, publishing, and other literary systems, so I signed up. I was thrilled. The tour was both educational and stimulating, and very well planned. Yane, the contact at Authentic Cuba Travel®s, was very patient and returned my calls promptly. Everything went like clockwork, and the tour itself, a combination of industry and sight-seeing, was fascinating." Libby Hellmann, Author

Cuba Architecture Tours
Reviews & Testimonials



"Please give the rest of your Authentic Cuba Travel® team my thanks as well. The trip was perfectly planned. We had busy days but we saw more than I could have imagined. Alexis must be the best guide in Cuba, and all of the other speakers were excellent as well. I was amazed at the amount of knowledge and passion that all of the historians had for their cities." Will O'Connor
