Unique Cultural Tours
Jenny Desmond, President
Jenny’s background is in Spanish language and nonprofit leadership. She has always had a spirit filled with wanderlust and loves helping U.S. Americans explore places in Latin America that they might not otherwise see. She created tours in Cuba and Colombia because they are places many people wouldn’t go on their own, but have incredible cultures to share.
Rachel Desmond, Customer Service & Marketing Specialist
Rachel comes by her love for travel honestly. Upon graduating college, she left for Latin America to perfect her Spanish. She has lived in Guatemala, Mexico, and Colombia. She has also been on two of our Cuba tours. If you have any travel questions, she’s your girl!
