adventuring in Latin America since 1990, and guiding and developing
tourism programs there since 1997. He speaks both Spanish and Portuguese fluently and first starting working in Cuba in 2002.

His passion is to share the uniqueness of Cuba and its culture with others and to provide an authentic experience for those who are willing.
Clarita Derwent - Operations
Clarita had the travel bug from an early age, travelling to Japan at 15 as an exchange student. Since then her passion for travel and other cultures has only grown over time. She has travelled extensively to many countries, but treats Cuba as her second home. Her speciality and interests are strongly rooted in Cuban Culture and the Arts. She has worked, coordinated and performed in some of Cuba's fantastic festivals. She speaks a little of many languages, and is fluent in Spanish.
Yoxander - Custom Tours Coordinator
After being, for several years, one of our most outstanding guides in Cuba, Yoxander married and Australian girl he met on one of his tours,
and he now lives in Australia.
We are lucky enough to now be able to take advantage of Yoxander's extensive knowledge of Cuba, and tourism in Cuba, and employ
Yoxander as a specialist in designing
custom and private tours for those who prefer one of these to one of
our regular tours.
Yoxander is a joyful and passionate person with a great sense of humor.
