Vive Mas Tours Recognized for Delivering authentic Travel Experiences in Cuba and Colombia
Boulder, CO — October 27, 2025 — Vive Mas Tours, a woman-owned cultural travel company based in Colorado, has been recognized for its excellence in providing small-group, immersive experiences in Cuba and Colombia. Founded by the mother-daughter team Jenny and Rachel Desmond, Vive Mas Tours continues to redefine what authentic and responsible travel means for U.S. travelers seeking connection, culture, and community.
Formerly known as Viva Cuba 1959 Tours, the company has expanded its mission beyond Cuba to include vibrant tours across Colombia — a destination known for its biodiversity, coffee culture, and warm hospitality. Each itinerary is carefully crafted to help travelers go beyond sightseeing and experience the rhythm, flavor, and spirit of local life.
“We’re not just travel planners — we’re cultural connectors,” said Jenny Desmond, Co-Founder of Vive Mas Tours. “Our travelers don’t just see a country, they live it. From sharing meals with local families to dancing with musicians in Havana, every trip is designed to be meaningful, educational, and unforgettable.”
Immersive Journeys across the Caribbean and Latin america
