Cuba

What to see in Baracoa

7/6/2016

Hard to reach but totally worth it. Baracoa is a gorgeous area in Cuba. We only had very few time we could spend there but nonetheless we completely enjoyed our stay.

How long to stay and where to sleep?

I guess as always is best to stay 2 nights. If you come by car it is impossible to arrive during the day anyway unless you sleep over somewhere closer to Baracoa. We came from Camagüey so we arrived somewhere around 8 PM. You can check where to sleep on my blog post.

Picture
The Vinales valley is encircled by mountains and its landscape is interspersed with dramatic rocky outcrops. Traditional techniques are still in use for agricultural production, particularly of tobacco. The quality of this cultural landscape is enhanced by the vernacular architecture of its farms and villages, where a rich multi-ethnic society survives, illustrating the cultural development of the islands of the Caribbean, and of Cuba.

1. Get you VISA

It is actually a Tourist card not a real VISA. The procedure is very easy. You just need to go to the embassy with a valid passport and have  20-30Euros with you (different price per country). You could maybe check with your airline they might also help you with it.

Food in Cuba is not as typical as you would find in other places in the world, but for sure it is very tasteful. 

Breakfast


​If you eat breakfast at a casa particular then the price would be around 5 CUC per person. The breakfast will include: Fresh Juice, Coffee + Milk. Fresh fruits, guava marmalade and eggs which you can get either as an omelette or scrambled eggs, The food is usually more than enough so no worries about the portions.

Taxi Prices across Cuba

4/4/2016

Our aim was to rent a car which would get us around Cuba leaving us with loads of Flexibility. The first question was rent a car and drive it ourselves or rent one of the cars that has a driver. Well we heard a lot of stories, most of the Cubans that we talked to recommended to get a car with a driver as it is safer other tourists said they rented a car and had no issues with the road or anything. Well it is a matter of personal choice as of course for both options there were advantages and disadvantages.
