About the Book
Join Mark Cunich on his amazing journey through Cuba and Guatemala.
From Santiago de Cuba, follow the trail of the revolution along the length of

living history of colonial occupation, slavery, revolution and economic
difficulties with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the US trade embargoes.
Havana’s full of beautifully restored colonial buildings beside
crumbling wrecks; rattling, back- firing 1950s Yank Tanks, bikes,
horse-drawn carriages and tuk-tuks; revolutionary history,
current political and financial struggles, new private enterprises
popping-up all over the place. And best of all, happy and
resilient people; rum and cigars; and MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC!!!
Then over to Guatemala where you’ll see a fantastic diversity –
majestic Mayan ruins in the jungle, a gorgeous colonial town
with a rich history, a fascinating insight into indigenous culture and
daily life, the colourful traditional clothing, and stunning scenery.
