Hello! My name is Benito. I am a professor of History at the University of Havana. Walking through the corners of Old Havana is my passion and the History of Cuba is the best way to understand the current life of Cubans. I would love to talk about the society, politics and economics with you, we follow the policy that the only way to understand us is knowing our roots.
The Cuban Revolution was one of the most transcendental events of the twentieth century in Cuba and Latin America. During this experience we will visit the places in Havana, where the most significant processes of the unfolding of the Revolution have taken place, while we analyze the challenges of contemporary Cuba. We will begin the experience by visiting the emblematic sites where corruption, and the influence of the Italo-American Mafia in Cuban politics during the 40s and 50s, contributed to the unleashing of the Revolution. We will then visit Plaza de la Revolución, the most iconic monument to the commemoration of the Revolution. A special moment will be stopping at La Timba neighborhood, a marginal settlement in the heart of the city, there we'll talk about the most important challenges of the modern Cuba. As part of the experience, we will make our way around in a typical remnant of the Cold War that characterizes the transportation landscape in Havana: a 1976 Soviet Lada sedan.
