Change has come to Cuba, providing new opportunities for its people—and for US citizens who can now travel legally to this long-embargoed island nation. Juan Jose Valdes, the Society’s Geographer, and a native of Cuba, will share his personal story as a young refugee from the island, culminating in his work on the Geographic’s highly-detailed new map of Cuba. Award-winning travel writer Christopher Baker, who leads Geographic-sponsored trips to the island, will take us on a vivid virtual tour of Havana’s Old City, the island’s rich nature preserves, and its fascinating blend of cultures.
