What is Cuba for us? Of course, this is the sea, the sun, passion and revolutionary romance. Here live the most freedom-loving people on Earth, and nothing will change them. A special spirit reigns here, and it was not for nothing that it was in Cuba that Hemingway wrote his most famous works. Cuba also includes carnivals, a sea of music, dancing until the morning, rum, cigars, exotic fruits, the divine nature and magnificent beaches. Tours to Cuba are in increasing demand all over the world, and especially in Russia: after all, we have a lot in common with them. This place since the time of Che Guevara especially attracts rebels and romantics.
If you have chosen a holiday in Cuba you have read reviews about it on the Internet or heard from friends, then this is an excellent solution: a surge of passions and emotions is definitely guaranteed for you. Here, despite the modesty of life, a very hot and eventful life boils, and this mood is surely passed on to tourists. They work a lot here during the day, but at night they have fun and incendiary rest - the Cubans will never refuse to celebrate something. However, you need to be very careful with the locals, as if their emotionality does not touch you in the most unpleasant way, so local customs and traditions must be studied in advance, while only planning tours to Cuba.
Despite the developed tourist infrastructure, Cuba remains a state with a rather modest income level, but many Cubans are very educated people, and a significant part of them speaks Russian: all because many of them studied back in the USSR. Unfortunately, not all of them managed to find work in their homeland, and therefore they can unexpectedly meet an educated Russian-speaking person in the most unusual place, for example, in a taxi or in the market.
Speaking of taxis. With transport in Cuba is quite difficult. It’s almost impossible to catch a local taxi, and a taxi for tourists is very expensive. You can rent a car: which is funny, most likely, it will turn out to be our VAZ, but it is quite expensive. The local population prefers bicycles - they can also be rented. Public transport is poorly developed, so it is better to rely on tourist buses or your own.
But do not be afraid of the underdeveloped urban infrastructure: there is a special approach to tourists. Since tours to Cuba come in different price categories, then, respectively, the hotels are different. There are expensive hotels located directly on the beaches, and there are more budget hotels in Cuba, reviews of which are sometimes very contradictory. The common features of all hotels are the rather austere furnishings of the rooms, even the most luxurious ones, so there may be no reason to overpay, but choosing a hotel below 4 * does not make sense either - everything will be very modest there. It can be considered part of the local flavor, and then whether the vast majority of tourists come here?
But the excursion program pleases with its diversity. Local attractions are mainly related to the history and nature of Cuba or to traditional industries. Reserves are especially popular, especially the luxurious orchid reserve. Also, tourists are offered many amazing walks in unique landscapes. It is worth noting that many of them are related to speed, whether it be walking on a helicopter or racing on boats - apparently, the national spirit affects.
No less popular are excursions related to historical figures, primarily, of course, with the commandant Guevara, who has become the national symbol of not only this country, but also the desire for freedom as such.
Even a beach holiday here has its own flavor. Of course, those who plan tours to Cuba do not expect a relaxing holiday, but, in principle, you can find a quiet corner if you wish. On most beaches, continuous music of various styles sounds, from all kinds of ethnic to electronic: in general, everything, like everywhere else in Cuba, is fun and dance.
Cuba is a unique place. People come here not for traditional beach holidays and comfort, despite the amazing nature and wonderful beaches, but in the desire to join the unique atmosphere that prevails here. Here, like nowhere else in the world, you can get an incredible boost of vitality for a long time and gain a lot of impressions for a lifetime.
