Cuba – The Diamonds To Our South II 2017

BallParkTours.net Posted on June 10, 2017 by MikeRDecember 11, 2017

 

In 2015, Ballpark Tours had the opportunity to witness, and partici­pate in, the passion and joy that the Cuban people bring to their food and festivals, their music and libations, and especially, their base­ball. We quickly discovered that a ball, a bat, and a smile were part of a universal language shared by baseball fans of all cultures.

Our Cuban adventure was a unique once-in-a-lifetime experience. Or so we thought. The fact is, the trip was just too good to be a one-time event. So, we’re going back this November. The window for travel to Cuba is open (for the time being) and Ballpark Tours is again offering you the opportunity to enjoy Cuba—it’s sights, sounds, tastes and culture—all based on a shared love of baseball.

Our trip will include plenty of on-field action and a variety of activities promoting interaction with the Cuban people. As with our first trip to the “Diamonds to our South,” we will be creating lifelong memories Ballpark Tours-style. Unete a nuestra aventura Cubana de beisbol!

Join us for an adventure of a lifetime.
