Wanna travel to Cuba with us next year? Here’s what a trip with Belly of the Beast is like. 

“I've always thought Cuba was kind of the forbidden country,” said Patricia Lunstrum.

“It’s been great. There's no way I would have known about this. I thought everything was pretty phenomenal, eye opening. And gave me an opportunity to see a different world,” said Richard Almada.

“I've had a wonderful time. Everybody's been a wonderful host,” said John Lloyd.

“We've had so much diversity in what we've seen and done,” said Carolyn Lloyd.

“I think the trip so far has been pretty amazing. Because it's not just about the entertainment part but the educational part, viewing the different documentaries,” said Asar Amen-Ra.

“I would recommend it to anybody,” said Lunstrum.

“Americans in general don't get a chance to hear and talk with people and get a feel for the real vibe and how much it contradicts what we are told in the States,” said Almada.

“Belly of the Beast has definitely catered to our needs every step of the way,” said Amen-Ra.

“The Belly of the Beast team has been pretty effing spectacular,” said Almada.

“They're great. They're fun. They've done so many great adventures. Made it really easy,” said Lunstrum.

“If you want to get a full picture of Cuba, then you would travel with Belly of the Beast because they don't show you the dystopian side of Cuba, as our government shows, and they don't show you just the utopian side. They give you a 360-degree view of the whole culture,” said Amen-Ra.
