Village School & Tobacco Farm

Village School & Tobacco Farm

Transfer by mini bus to the quaint village of Maria la Gorda. You will have the opportunity to interact with local children and staff while visiting a small community school where you’ll discover the daily life of local children and come away with an understanding of the Cuban education system. Feel free to bring school supplies for the children!

Your excursion continues to the tobacco farm “Finca Quemado del Rubi”. The owner is the most successful planting master of tobacco in Cuba and his production is said to be the best quality on the island. During the approximate 1 hour 45 minute drive to the tobacco plantation, you will enjoy informative videos and instructive commentary provided by your knowledgeable guide, while you contemplate the exuberant greenery and cultivated fields of this part of the island.

Enjoy a chilled refreshment as you learn about tobacco leaf production and what creates the best cigars in the world. A walking tour of the tobacco plantation with Cuban farmers and staff includes the smoke house as well as the humidor, adorned with the numerous awards and honors bestowed upon this distinguished producer.

To complete this engagement, enjoy a traditional Cuban lunch will be served at the estate, featuring regional creole dishes and beautiful views of the tobacco fields. Watch a cigar rolling demonstration. Cigars will also be available for purchase.
