Entrañable Lejanía

Entrañable Lejanía Project Por Amor is an artist-run travel and production company crafting immersive, cultural tours in Cuba, Iceland, Morocco, Sicily, and New Orleans.

We travel, create art, design the future, and break barriers

Project Por Amor was established in 2007 when founder Sage Lewis was developing his groundbreaking multimedia theater performance, The Closest Farthest Away. This award-winning performance was the first time a U.S. theater work had been performed in Cuba since 1958 and received unprecedented reviews. It bridged a barrier between Cuba an

d the United States and opened the doors to a greater mission: to reconnect Americans with Cubans through deep and meaningful cultural exchanges. Today, Project Por Amor has brought thousands of U.S. citizens to Cuba on life-changing cultural tours that focus on connecting people through a panorama of art, theater, film, music, cuisine, and culture. As experts in Cuba and the arts, we produce film, theater, dance, art, and music exchanges for some of the world’s biggest names such as Preservation Hall Jazz Band, the Chicago Children’s Choir, Theatre Communications Group, Stripe, and many others. We also host a virtual speaker series called Por Amor Conversations, where Cuban and Icelandic experts discuss various topics that are followed by a Q&A session with the attendees. Project Por Amor’s newest obsession is Iceland with its unparalleled landscapes, a booming music scene, and an innovative and friendly lifestyle. We offer insider life-changing cultural tours or we can execute your next project there. Iceland and Cuba may seem like they are completely different, however they share a love of the arts, innovative culture, and human connection making both islands worth experiencing. We would love to be your hosts!

In memory of René Goiffon (1947–2026)

"I don't like group tours and prefer not to have such a rigid schedule!"

That's what René Goiffon told us in 2014, before wandering off from our Havana Contemporary Music Festival tour to explore the streets on his own. He was the president of the legendary classical music label Harmonia Mundi — and he became one of our dearest friends and collaborators.

A few years later, that same man who hated group tours co-created our Iceland tours with us, pouring the same passion and artistry into those itineraries that earned him Grammy Awards throughout his career. His gift was bringing people together — across cultures, across oceans, across a dinner table in Reykjavik.

René passed away in April, and we miss him deeply. Our hearts are with his family and the many friends he made around the world.

If you traveled with René or knew him, we'd love to hear your memories — share them in the comments or read our full tribute at the link below. 💙

Forgive us for sharing this news later than we would have liked — the truth is, it has taken us some time to find the right words for someone who meant so much to us. René Goiffon, our beloved collaborator and the principal architect of our Icelandic tours, passed away this Spring. Some of you wh...

Cuba is facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its history.

This is not a simple story and it shouldn’t be told simply.

We’ve put together a full breakdown of what is happening right now, including voices from our friends in Havana and ways you can help.

This situation is evolving rapidly, and we will continue updating this as conditions change.

Read, share, and stay informed.

For twenty years, we at Project Por Amor have been building bridges of friendship and cultural exchange between the United States and Cuba. Many of you have walked the streets of Havana with us, sat at dinner tables with Cuban artists and musicians, and experienced firsthand the warmth, creativity,

Sicily rewards the curious. The ones who linger, ask questions, and stay a little longer at the table.

This video comes from our 2025 Sicily journey with the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans —days shaped by shared meals, local encounters, historic places, and the kind of moments you don’t schedule but always remember.

We’re returning this October for another chapter.
