Day 6 in Cuba

(Friday) Sancti Spiritus, Santa Clara & Havana. After breakfast, depart from Trinidad and visit the picturesque town of Sancti Spíritus, one of the original seven cities founded in Cuba by the Spanish five centuries ago, and home to Cuba's oldest church, the Parroquial Mayor. Here, you'll visit the Sancti Spíritus Medical University and discuss medical education in Cuba , conditions for medical students who practice abroad after completing their education and the career track for graduated Cuban doctors in Cuba, as well as medical practices in Cuba and the USA, in general.

Continue to the town of Santa Clara. Lunch will be served buffet style in Santa Clara’s Los Caneyes Hotel.
Enjoy a special visit to the Santa Clara Music and Performing Arts School, with dance, theater and music performances by the students. Participate in a discussion with faculty and students about the role of music and education in the USA, and the impact of music on Cuban life and its importance in education in Cuba. Please note that this visit is only possible during the school year (September through early June). Should this school not be available, or in session, during your trip, an equally enjoyable and interesting visit to another community project will be substituted
