    Leaving for Cuba tomorrow...any tips?

    My lady and I are flying into Havana on Christmas Eve and will be in Cuba until Jan. 4. We don't have much of a plan at this point so any tips are welcome.

    Have a happy holiday everyone!

          Not to worry they wont stamp your passport.

          BUT if you are American, DO NOT USE AN ATM OR CREDIT CARD!!!

            Even as an Australian, since going to Cuba (been twice) I get shit from US Passport control, I didn't get my passport stamped, you don't need to.

              Passport control is an experience. You will feel guilty about something even though you are totaly innocent. Don't take any american currency or bank cards, use euros or sterling.

                    Sam you got some solid advice here. Also if you do decide to buy some local cigars, take the wrappers off, and then mail them.

                    Enjoy Cuba and Feliz Navidad!!!!

                      Near Trinidad is a park called El Cubano National Park. Within the park is the most beautiful waterfall I've ever seen. The trail to the park is postcard perfect every step of the way. There is a tribe of mountain people who still live the traditional lifestyle 3/4 along the way. Their barefoot kids can climb trees like Tarzans. Going for a swim in the pond surrounded by cliffs as Salto Javira creates a veil of water you can swim behind was magical. I highly recommend that hidden spot in paradise you won't find in any tour guide book.

                          If you dive go to the south mid section and see if you can get a boat to get even close to the queens garden.
                          It's probably the most pristine reef in the world.

                                  Americans do not and cannot officially go to Cuba. They're lessening the rules now. I know the port in Fort Lauderdale is gearing up for future boat charters to Cuba but if I can recall, its just for Cubans to be able to travel to their homeland. May be wrong. There are airlines you can currently charter flights to Cuba on but they also have rules.

                                  I think it has nothing to do with security and everything about the embargo and they don't want American money flowing into the country.

                                  Certainly not an expert. Never been and never plan to. Just bits I think I've read or heard over the years.

                                  edit: so the passport thing is since we can't go but Cuba doesn't care if we do come, they just make your trip off the books by not stamping your passport. It's like you were never there.

                                    It's only the Americans that are anal about people going to Cuba. Cubans don't discriminate and will welcome Americans with open arms. Visa to Cuba is a tourist card, so regardless of what passport you bear, it will not be stamped or have anything glued in it. US cash is accepted, however heavy penalty is imposed on exchange from US dollars so you're much better off exchanging for Canadian dollars before arriving to Cuba.

I went in 2010............... nothin too it. Its trippy how you can go 5 minutes out of the resort and be in the slums of cuba...........

                                                              fly into cuba from a neighboring island country
                                                              remove stamps/labels on any cigars purchased
                                                              yes street cigars are fakes
                                                              they will not stamp your passport
                                                              you will have a suspicious re entry stamp on your passport with no corresponding entry stamp. worse case scenario just get another passport reissued at a later date

THey work in the blistering sun all day, and can't take breaks. So while I was walking past em, I would ask if they'd like a drink from the bar. They're not supposed to take them, but probably won't turn down a water/soda, and will be thankful.

                                                                              As in any city be care in the streets and try not to buy anything other than nick nacs in the street.

                                                                              They will not stamp your passport.

                                                                              Try not to go the the popular tourist places they are very expensive and dont represent the real Cuba well.

                                                                              The national park is wonderful.

                                                                              Try to go to some of the pueblos or small towns. After a few days there you will start to get the feel for the place and then you will have a better idea of who to trust.

                                                                              Most people are trying to make a buck off of the tourist, what new.

                                                                              Dont get caught with a hooker, while the police look the other way prostitution is illegal and after the 3rd time the girl goes to jail.

                                                                              There are lots of places to eat in private homes that are incredible.

                                                                              On last thing, in Havana there is a large cathedral. Go, it is one of the few places on earth were you can actually feel the presence of an unseen power. Take it as you will but it is a really uplifting experience..

                                                                              Good luck..

                                                                                Also it's not like other countries, make sure you spend time leaving the tourist areas and wonder around off the beaten path and visit the side streets and neighborhoods

                                                                                                Also it's not like other countries, make sure you spend time leaving the tourist areas and wonder around off the beaten path and visit the side streets and neighborhoods

We aren't staying in any resorts and typically don't when we travel. Sounds like you and I like to travel for the same reasons.
