  A live exhibit through song, performance and dance depicting the areas history in the slave trade and to remember, preserve and enforce the roots and traditions inherited by the people... read more of the cultures of African origin. Brilliant. This experience gives new meaning to the term social/eco tourism and our attendance is helping the development of the community of Pueblo Nuevo which was the former slave district of Matanzas. This tour is especially worthy for small to medium tours or family and friend groups.I wish them all the success they deserve
