Tati´s CUBAN RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:
It’s been said that she really knows how to do Cuba – like her highly recommended Cozumel Photo Tour. Her aim is always to raise your awareness and spark your creativity so that you not only go home with images to be proud of, but use your new found skills to improve and expand your photographic technique in general.

Also, there are only small groups of 6 -10 guests max. And you stay in a new renovated boutique hotel which is safe, small and managed by the proprietor with very personal atmosphere. It is located in the back streets of Old Havana - right in the heart of the “real” Old Havana. All main attractions are in walking distance.
Dinner reservations are made at tested, authentic, delicious and fairly priced restaurants and paladars only.

Lastly, you will be exposed not only a truly amazing and authentic Cuba, but the most photogenic Cuba and get hands-on photography instructions and photo tips.

Old Havana offers more photographic opportunities than any other. It is not to be missed!
