Cuba is globally recognized for its extraordinary collection of vintage American automobiles, preserved and maintained for decades under unique historical and economic conditions.
This experience grants you exclusive access to the hidden world behind these legendary vehicles, where craftsmanship, creativity, and cultural heritage come together. Rather than simply admiring classic cars on the streets, you will enter the environment where they are actively preserved and restored, gaining a deeper understanding of their significance.
Your journey begins inside a real restoration workshop, where these historic automobiles are carefully maintained and rebuilt by expert Cuban mechanics.

During the experience, you will learn how these cars have survived for over half a century despite limited access to original parts and modern technology. You will discover how Cuban mechanics have developed innovative techniques to keep these vehicles operational, relying on creativity, resourcefulness, and deep mechanical knowledge.
