Cultural Cuba and Hemingway


Have you seen the Ken Burns Hemingway documentary? It is worth a watch!


As part of a customized itinerary, Cultural Cuba travelers can opt to travel 30 mins outside the city to visit FINCA VIGIA, the estate of Ernest Hemingway, in the San Francisco neighborhood overlooking Havana. This UNESCO site is part of the Hemingway Foundation preserved as Hemingway left it.

It was at Finca Vigía that Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea (1951) about a fisherman who lived in the nearby town of Cojimar and worked the waters off Havana.
