Our Team
Altaï Cuba has a base in Havana. Guides and drivers visit every week for programme briefings and are always popping in for cups of coffee and presenting us with new findings and ideas so that we can continuously update, improve and diversify our programmes. We love exploring local trails, learning about history, salsa, fauna and flora and other Cuban treasures, We share our time between discovering Cuba and designing trips that meet your wishes and expectations.
