What you need to know about the Island of Freedom, planning tours to Cuba

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. There is a special spirit here, and it was not for nothing that Hemingway wrote his most famous works in Cuba. Another Cuba - it's carnivals, the sea of music, dancing until the morning, rum, cigars, exotic fruits, divine nature and luxurious beaches. Tours to Cuba enjoy increasing demand throughout the world, and in Russia especially: 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 reviews about which you read on the Internet or heard from friends, then this is a great solution: a burst of passion and emotions you are exactly assured. Here, in spite of the modesty of everyday life, a very hot and saturated life is boiling, and this mood is necessarily passed on to the tourists. Here a lot of work day, but at night fun and incendiary rest - the Cubans never refuse to celebrate something. However, you need to be very careful with the locals, as if their emotionality has not touched you in the most unpleasant way, that's why local customs and traditions must be studied beforehand, only planning tours to Cuba.

Despite the developed tourist infrastructure, Cuba remains a state with a rather modest level of income, but many Cubans are very educated people, and a significant part of them speak Russian: all because many of them studied in the USSR. Unfortunately, not all of them managed to find work in their homeland in the homeland, and so with an educated Russian-speaking person one can unexpectedly meet in the most unusual place, for example, in a taxi or on the market.

Speaking of a taxi. With transport in Cuba is quite difficult. Local taxi is almost impossible to catch, and a taxi for tourists is very expensive. You can rent a car: that's funny, most likely, it will be our VAZ, but it's quite expensive. The local population prefers bicycles - they can also be hired. Public transport is poorly developed, so it is better to rely on tourist buses or own forces.

But do not be afraid of the underdeveloped urban infrastructure: the tourists here have a special approach. Since tours to Cuba are in different price categories, then, respectively, and the hotels are different. There are expensive, located directly on the beaches, and there are more budget hotels in Cuba whose reviews are sometimes very controversial. The common features of all hotels are the rather ascetic situation of the rooms, even the most luxurious, so perhaps there is no reason to overpay, but choosing a hotel below 4 * does not make sense either - everything will be modest there. It can be considered a part of the local color, and then does an overwhelming number of tourists come here?

But the excursion program pleases with its diversity. Local attractions are associated mainly with the history and nature of Cuba or with traditional manufactures. Especially popular are the reserves, especially the magnificent orchid reserve. Also, a lot of amazing walks through unique landscapes are offered to the attention of tourists. It is worth noting that many of them are related to speed, whether it is helicopter rides or boat races - apparently, the national spirit affects.

No less popular are excursions connected with historical personalities, first of all, of course, with commandant Guevara, who became the national symbol of not only this country, but also the desire for freedom as such.

Even beach rest here has its own color. 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 want. On the majority of beaches the continuous music of various styles, from every possible ethnic to electronic sounds: in general, everything, as well as everywhere in Cuba - fun and dances.

Cuba is a unique place. They do not go here for traditional beach rest and comfort, despite the amazing nature and wonderful beaches, and in desire to join the unique atmosphere that reigns here. Here, like anywhere else in the world, you can get an incredible charge of cheerfulness for a long time and get a lot of impressions for life.
