About Project Por Amor
Project Por Amor is an artist-run organization that builds meaningful experiences through the arts, culture, and travel. We specialize in Cuba and Iceland, two unique islands on opposite ends of the Gulf Stream. Our extensive knowledge and close relationships with these two countries has allowed us to design specialized production and travel programs for organizations and individuals since 2009.
Legal Travel to Cuba
Our itinerary is designed to fully adhere to the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) §515.574 General License for Support for the Cuban People category of legal travel to Cuba. Each traveler will engage in a full-time schedule of activities that result in meaningful interaction with individuals and professionals in Cuba, enhance contact with the Cuban people, and support civil society in Cuba. Eating at privately owned Cuban restaurants (paladares), staying in privately owned hotels, shopping at stores run by self-employed Cubans (cuentapropistas), and professional exchanges with the Cuban people are an important part of this program.
A trip of lifetime.

"Our experience in Cuba met and exceeded expectations. If we’d visited Cuba on our own we wouldn’t have had the opportunities and adventures afforded us. Every day was packed with fascinating education, beautiful music, connection with the people, architecture and art, and so much good healthy food!"
