Introduction
Now that you have booked that long deserved holiday to Cuba, it’s time for you to learn about the many interesting places to see, things to do, and places to explore in this country. You have to admit that it is indeed a beautiful country albeit with an intriguing past.
The country has actually been a popular travel destination for many foreign tourists. They have been visiting this tropical country for years. It’s one of the countries in the Caribbean that have only been recently in the American tourist radar, but yeah, tourists from other countries have been frequenting the place for decades. That is due in part to an economic embargo.
Visiting Cuba is like going through a time warp. You will find a lot of the old school buildings still up and running, the beaches are absolutely great, and you’ll find a lot of antique 1950s cars. It’s like everyone here is stuck in that decade – the 50s I mean.
You can walk through the bustling streets and meet the lively people first hand. Another popular thing to do here is hiking up the mountains. One important thing though is to learn all there is to know about tobacco – yes, they make some of the best cigars in the world here.
Traveling to Cuba can be confusing – and downright challenging to a lot of folks – that is why this guide was put up. In these pages you’ll learn about the great places to visit, where to stay (and where to sleep cheap!), where to go out, fun things to do, how to stay safe, money matters in Cuba, where (and what) to eat in this Caribbean country, and pretty much all the other fun stuff like diving and all the other things. Yes, traveling to Cuba can be pretty expensive too – so we’ll include a few tips so you can travel and reduce costs along the way.
This book is designed for the absolute first time visitor in Cuba. Everything is laid out in an easy to understand manner – and everything will be in English though I do recommend that you at least learn a few common phrases in the country’s local dialect before you rush on to you Cuban Adventure.
May you have a good time while exploring the Caribbean’s!
Chapter 1: Getting There
Surprise, surprise, the citizens of the world have been visiting and enjoying the sites and sounds in Cuba for decades. Unfortunately, it is the American citizens who have to walk the gauntlet. Americans have practically been banned from traveling to the country for more than 50 years!
So, does it look like things are finally changing? At the time of this writing, it looks like President Trump isn’t keen on allowing Americans to travel freely to Cuba. However, he also isn’t making it impossible for the average Joe to get there. Note that as of 2016 some American airlines are now allowed to fly to Cuba – hurray!
The Trouble with Getting to Cuba
Okay, so if you’re not an American then you won’t have any problems getting to Cuba. All you need to do is to follow the usual procedures. You basically won’t get any hassles getting into the country. For instance, our British friends can get a Cuba Tourist Card courtesy of their airline, and everything else pretty much goes smoothly. But if you’re an American, then you have a thing or two coming.
So, how did all of the trouble start? Well, if you read the first book in this series, you will learn that something happened back in 1960. A trade embargo was imposed by the United States against this Caribbean country. Why you ask? The answer is that Cuba nationalized all the American owned oil refineries in the country. They did that without compensating the US businessmen who invested there.
Part of that embargo is a travel restriction for American citizens. In other words, technically, it is illegal to travel to Cuba, spend money there, or even to receive gifts. In simple terms, the embargo prevented all American citizens from having any transactions with the country or its citizens.
The effect of course is that the Americans have never considered Cuba as a travel destination for 5 decades. Air travel with any airline in the US going to Cuba is near impossible. On top of that, even if you did make it to the country, your credit cards and debit cards won’t work
