Americans can purchase a visa (also called a tourist card) at the connecting airport before your flight to Cuba. We purchased ours at the gate in FLL. If you are traveling as a tourist, choose “Support for the Cuban People” as your official reason for travel. Then, once you arrive in Cuba, stay in casa particulars or Airbnb’s ( not hotels owned by the govt.), spend your money in privately owned restaurants, and shop at independent markets. Basically, make sure your money is going to the Cuban people and not the government. Some of your money will probably still find its way in to the government’s hands, but try your best to support the people directly, and keep your receipts to prove it. We never had to prove anything upon returning to the US. They simply asked us if we had a good time, and we said yes. I would highly recommend going, even for the extra hassle for Americans. There’s no other place like it!

@JumpingPlaces 4 года назад

Thanks! That didn’t make it sound too hard really, I figured it would be a longer process to get the visa

@josephweeks820 Год назад

At least by August 2022 the currency situation has changed again as the peso is worthless. Most shops and restaurants are NOT accepting the CUP. Only hard currency via a debit or Visa card (NON American banks). Tourists can put there money onto an MLC card (basically a pre-paid card).

@orlandosanchez678 4 года назад

On the topic of money. If you know someone in the island on a personal level, chances are they know someone who will exchange it for you and you get a better exchange rate than at the airport or exchange locations. I've gotten $100 exchange to $95+ . The more you exchange the more you get per hundred. Exchanging $1000 will get you about $98 per every hundred.

A drone is on my Christmas list .... geez, if that one guy got 2 weeks of hard time for flying his, I wonder if you would have had to spend any time in the slammer just for bringing one into the country if they had discovered yours (!) ... yikesa .... Loved watching your footage, btw, of all those cool old cars in mint condition, with great paint jobs. The adventure continues in Mexico - will of course be watching....

@JumpingPlaces 4 года назад

From what i read, they just confiscate it off you and make you pay a fine and then you pick it up before you head back home. So I was basically accepting that was going to happen since i couldn't store it anywhere but fortunately they didn't even find it

@NickyDunn 4 года назад

@henryfitzthum7563 4 года назад

Thank you so much for the interesting tips.. I almost decided to go this week to Cuba.. and had to travel from Havana to the middle of Cuba to Ciego De Avila.. to spend Christmas with my Cuban friend... But she wasn't 100% positive about any of it too... so by that reply.. 1 week wasn't going to be long enough When the Cuban people don't know.... then plan it carefully as I didn't want to be stuck in some town for 2 days waiting on transport... As the transportation situation there is terrible... But thinking again flights from A to B within cuba maybe less of a line of people waiting... cause the average Cuban cannot afford it but the information I found seem very conflicting... So I thought well plan advance for another time maybe... I found away around the money exchange situation... but this idea only applies if you have someone you really trust as I do... Thank you for the heads up on the drone... cause I was planning to take mine... What about camera gear... I do a little photography... is it accepted do they frown upon it ?

@JumpingPlaces 2 года назад

Yes all our videos are quoted in dollars, not going to change it just for this one. 1 cuc = 1 usd, they match it to the dollar. I also don't spend dollars in many other countries, doesn't mean i can't say what the price is in dollar. For example i am in brazil right now, telling an international audience the price of everything in the brazilian real will be less beneficial than telling them the price in dollar, since many people know what their own currencies rate is against the dollar without having to look it up. the large majority of our audience are americans too
