For more than 50 years Cuba has been off-limits for U.S. visitors (unless they were willing to come in through Canada, Mexico, or other countries, which could be a bit risky). But in 2012 travel restrictions were loosened, so tour companies and universities were allowed to organize trips to this mysterious island country. While restrictions are still in place for individual tourists, it's now possible to travel on designated people-to-people, cultural, or arts tours.
