Havana Salsa Festival & Cultural Cuba Tour 2026

If you’re a salsa lover, there’s no better place to experience the music than in its birthplace—Cuba. Our VIP Havana Salsa Festival Tour is one of the most immersive and exciting ways to connect with the rhythms of Cuban son, timba, and salsa at the source.

The Havana Salsa Festival celebrates the depth and diversity of Cuban music, with salsa—locally known as son and timba—taking center stage. These are the most dynamic and danceable expressions of Cuba’s rich musical heritage, and the Festival brings together some of the island’s most iconic bands for a week of unforgettable performances.

In past editions, the festival lineup—selected by fan vote—included legends like Alexander Abreu y Havana D´Primera, Pupy y Los Que Son Son, Adalberto Álvarez y Su Son, Elito Revé y Su Charangón, Maikel Blanco y Su Salsa Mayor, Manolito Simonet y Su Trabuco, Alain Pérez, Isaac Delgado, El Niño y La Verdad, Los Van Van, and more.

With our VIP package, you’ll enjoy priority access to festival concerts and an expertly curated schedule of exclusive music experiences throughout Havana. Every night is filled with rhythm, from open-air venues and late-night clubs to private performances arranged just for our group. As musicians and musicologists deeply rooted in Cuba’s scene, our team will take you beyond the stage to explore the heart of Cuban music culture.

Beyond the music, our tour includes rich cultural experiences such as daily dance lessons with top Cuban instructors, guided cultural tours around Havana, and dining at some of the city’s best paladares (private restaurants), including El Del Frente, Atelier, El Cocinero, and others celebrated for their world-class cuisine and ambiance.
