Photographer Mimi Fuenzalida Captures Cuban Imagination

Mimi Fuenzalida was born in Santiago and spent her early years in Chile and Argentina. At 13, she was given a 35 mm camera. Learning to develop her own film she discovered a passion for capturing images. In her early twenties, she relocated to Los Angeles and today is married to Ken Rosen, a film producer who recently concluded a successful fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.  The campaign funds will be used to complete his film, Cuba in Transition. 

“I am fortunate to have discovered my true passion in life. Using the natural elements of light and environment, combined with a specific character mood, I aim to create images, stills & moving, that awaken and inspire the mind into thought and imagination”

Some other museums to see include the National Museum of Beautiful Arts (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Cuba), the Car Museum (Museo del Automovil), the Chocolate Museum (Museo del Chocolate).

Despite an uninterrupted boom in the world’s travel infrastructure in the last 50 years, Cuba’s relatively modest development has some hidden benefits.  One little known benefit from Cuba’s policy of isolation is the preservation of its coastline that remains mostly unspoiled by bulldozers and asphalt. Its pristine beaches sparkle with seashells and vegetation rather than the typical sprawl of highrises and parking lots so familiar to most Western tourists.  Cuba is a haven.  Here are four of the beaches you must see on your next trip to Cuba.
