Lucy Davies

Brought up in Latin America, Lucy started tour guiding while studying Modern Languages at Bristol University. After working in educational travel in Europe and the USA, Lucy became a bike guide and led the first charity fundraising bike ride to Cuba in 1997. Instantly charmed by Cuba’s beauty and culture, she cycled the length and breadth of Cuba over the next few years and set up Cubania in 2003, seeing the need for a team that could help people wanting to discover the island. She currently lives in London and works from Cubania’s London Sales office, making frequent trips to Cuba.

Anibal Paez Cruz

An industrial engineer, Anibal started working in tourism over 25 years ago. He was the director of Specialised Tourism at the Cuban Travel Agency, Cubanacan, before moving becoming Cubania’s Commercial Director in 2015. Anibal´s creativity and experience enable him to create and market new and original programmes for clients, ensuring they get the best out of their Cuban holiday.

Lazaro de la Maza

Lazaro is from Arroyo Naranjo, just outside Havana. He studied Foreign Languages at Havana University and became an English teacher. The classroom couldn’t compete with the lure of the great outdoors and, when he was selected to train as an adventure tour guide, he was off! 15 years of exploring every corner of Cuba by bike, on foot, in a kayak and on the road has given him the deep knowledge of Cuba which makes him the perfect Head of Operations. Naturally hyperactive, he still enjoys escaping the office to lead groups and explore new routes and itineraries.

Carla Brito Paseiro

Carla studied French and English at the University of Havana before starting her career in tourism. Carla joined Cubania in 2013, where she joined the Operations Team. Naturally gifted in IT, she took charge of the in house training and setting up of Cubania´s new software platform, ensuring that clients receive their trip information quickly and accurately. Carla now focusses on Sales, creating the perfect itinerary for individuals who choose to travel with Cubania. She has travelled all over Cuba with Cubania, but her favourite place is still her hometown, Havana.

Liset Cordero Cendoya

Liset studied Economics and Russian before moving into Tourism in 1994. With 17 years of experience in Tourism Accountancy, Liset was more than qualified when she joined Cubania as our in-house accountant in March 2017. Liset loves music and dance, but above all she`s crazy about her two beautiful daughters.

JACKSON HERRERA

My name is Jocsan, but most people call me Jackson ever since I was a teenager, let’s blame it on the weird spelling. I was born and raised in Marianao, one of many Havana’s boroughs. As a child there were three things I always felt attracted to, music, languages and time travel. Unfortunately, the Marty McFly lifestyle didn’t pan out, so I replaced it with my love for both ancient and modern history. As a teenager my father pushed me to learn English which eventually became my obsession. By the time I turned 18 I was already teaching other people, and a year later I was running my own ESL private school even before I graduated. More than 10 years went by before I became a tour guide, and teaching gave me the chance to develop the right skills to deal with all kinds of people, be patient and try to give my best. This job is right up my alley, I get to mix my love for both languages and history in one gig and working with Cubania has given me the chance to do so. If you want to discover the ins and outs of this island, ride with me.

RAYSELIS RODRIGUEZ PUPO

My name is Raiselis (Ray, is easier!) and I come from the outskirts of Havana province. I studied languages and literature at the University of Havana. History and Stylistics are my favourite subjects, but I also enjoy reading, dancing. I have been working as a guide for 15 years now, and this has opened up new horizons allowing me to discover other cultures. With my job comes interaction, challenges and spontaneity – that’s what I enjoy the most. With Cubania I have found the way to share the authentic Cuba with my clients. So, join me on a trip and my island will be yours forever!

LAZARO DE LA MAZA

I’m from Arroyo Naranjo, a suburb of Havana. My inspiration to learn English was a pretty 6th form teacher; I then went on to university to study English and French, graduating with joint honours, and in my third year I decided to add on German as well. I had many different jobs before becoming a tour guide including working in a bakery, working as a welder, renting out VHS movies, painting tourist handicrafts and of course, working as an English teacher. Anyone who wants to discover something different (and be technology free for a week or two) should visit Cuba. I assure you you’ll go back home with a new understanding of the country and its people who are proud of their culture and heritage. We may be a small island in the Caribbean, but the world certainly knows we exist!

JORGE SANCHEZ FERNANDEZ

I am what you call a Villa Clareño, someone who was born in the province of Villa Clara, in a small town called Miller. From a young age I enjoyed going to school and practising sports, in particular Karate. Thanks to my enthusiasm for the sport I was spotted by a sports specialist and continued my education within the educational sporting programme that Cuba offers to those who show a talent in a particular area. I was recruited to the national team but sadly had to cut short my sporting career due to an injury. I decided to go to university in Havana to study languages and graduated with a degree in French, Italian and English. It made sense to use this to my advantage and pursue a career in tourism. Although I enjoy meeting and working with tourists of all nationalities, I particularly like the British for their great sense of humour. I like walking and spending time outdoors, dancing and generally enjoying the positive and vibrant opportunities that my country offers. I try to put this positive attitude across to all the people I meet during my work.

Thirty travel agents, members of a familiarization group traveled on this first flight, which landed at the international airport Juan Gualberto Gomez Varadero, 130 kilometers east of Havana.

Rolando Marichal, president of the branch of Cubanacan travel agency in Varadero, said the Russian market remains one of the main visitor arrivals to Cuba and especially to this pole.

“In the period January-September 2013 the operation of the travel agency Cubanacan presents a substantial increase of clients, ratifying it as a leader in Cuba receptive to this important segment,” he explained.

“With Pegas Turistk we have three years of successfully work,” he added.

Besides Varadero, the Russian company moves customers from the Caribbean region to Cancun in Mexico and Punta Cana in Dominican Republic.
