Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LAACS) is an organization formed for the purpose of fostering cultural and educational exchange. The company is affiliated with Pan American Art Projects (PAAP), an art gallery specializing in art from Latin America and the Caribbean basin. Our tours, with groups of a maximum of 12 participants, focus primarily on the arts and culture of Cuba. The purpose of travel under our program is to promote educational exchanges and learning, while enabling US citizens to interact closely with people from Cuba, mostly with a cultural background, like curators, teachers, performers and artists.
