CUBA<br />

A PARADISE READY TO BE… REDISCOVERED<br />

Swimwear by CARIOCAWEAR<br />

Cuba, believed to be the only<br />

place left in our hemisphere<br />

that the Western world has not<br />

touched, is slowly reawakening<br />

to the outside world. Known as<br />

the pearl of the Caribbean, it<br />

is a land of sensual people and<br />

raw beauty. As a gay American,<br />

there is no better time to go<br />

visit this paradise and see<br />

history in the making as you<br />

discover its vibrant culture,<br />

history and LGBT community<br />

- a community that is thriving<br />

with a full-time gay bar,<br />

gay weekly parties, cultural<br />

performance exchanges<br />

between Cuba and the USA, art<br />

expositions and the annual Gay<br />

Pride march held each <strong>May</strong>.<br />

While the U.S. embargo is still<br />

in place, Americans still have<br />

to travel under one of the 12<br />

visas permitted by the U.S.<br />

government (created to make<br />

it easier for Americans to go<br />

to the island). The easiest to<br />

obtain is the people-to-people<br />

visa, which exists as part of the<br />

educational activities category,<br />

allowing any American to<br />

legally travel to the island<br />

provided they engage in a<br />

full-time schedule of activities<br />

intended to enhance contact<br />

with the Cuban people and<br />

resulting in a meaningful<br />

interaction between the<br />

traveler and individuals in Cuba.
