Inspired by the works and bravery of Antonio Maceo and Martin Morúa Delgado, OnCuba Travel developed the Morúa-Maceo Project Experience. The Morúa -Maceo project aims to build, strengthen, and showcase the Cuban-African diaspora experience through in- depth curated experiences in the island.
Cuba claims both Africa and Europe as its mother continents. Our program reflects the traditions, customs and celebrations comprising the ancestral wealth of Africa for the enjoyment and knowledge of new generations. On this unique tour, you’ll understand the various Afro-Cuban religions practiced widely in Cuba, as explained by an English-speaking expert. Our local guide will walk you through parts of central Havana and the spectacular Callejón de Hamel – a small and colorfully decorated alley in central Havana, created by local resident Salvador Gonzáles Escalona. Sit and enjoy a cool drink while you soak up the atmosphere of this famous alleyway, decorated with scrap objects like bathtubs, hand pumps, and pinwheels, and has now become a cultural focal point with workshops for Cuban children to learn painting. The program includes meetings with Afro-Cuban historians and figures from the world of the arts, and much more.
