Holguin City Tour | History and Tour | Holguin | Cuba 

Island time 😉 it's so relaxed 👍

Holguin is a wonderful little city! So happy that I had the chance to spend some time here.

Cuba is filled with amazing places, people and scenery. Heading into town is a great way to connect with the region and see what this area offers. Loved the music that we found here.

@@DestinationEarth thanks for the added information!

This is a nice little city actually! Quite clean (which can be hard to achieve in countries like this), the people are so amazing and friendly, and the history was nice. We tried so many forms of transportation on this trip - which we thought was really cool! Getting around by horse was one of the most unique - that's for sure!

Cuba is a very interesting country. Its unique in the fact that is isn't "Americanized" like a lot of other places. It has allowed it to be so genuine. Some people like that fact, others don't - as it's VERY different than other places across the globe. They have such great music - and music is very much apart of everything that they do there, so I loved that I could record some of it and use it in the videos.

Cuba has some of the nicest people you will ever met. Love 'em.

It's a wonderful little city that we loved exploring!

This is an amazing part of the country - and we loved being able to see friends while we were here. The horses were a really neat way to get around!

But it does run out of energy

It doesn't matter if we are in the country or the city - we love walking. We both feel that you can really connect with a place when you explore it on foot and can take your time. This was a great little town!

It's fairly far - so keep that in mind (about a 9 hour drive by car). We took the bus that took a little longer, but we were able to sleep during the night. Most people taking public transit (and not a car) will take the VIAZUL bus. It's the main coach bus company that goes from city to city. If you aren't taking your own vehicle, that is how I would suggest to go. That said, you can also fly, there is an airport in Holguin if you have the funds to be able to do that. Let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll be happy to answer. You can ask them at info@destinationearth.ca

it depends…there are approximately 700 kilometers….you can travel by plane ✈️ and book from your country of origin…from Havana to Holguin it takes an hour by plane…approximately, if you choose a bus or a train, it takes many hours of travel…[Major Airlines to Holguin Frank Pais Sunrise Airways.

I was in Holgain walk up the 454 steps. That was memorable.

Cuba is something special. We were very lucky to explore a lot of it! It's awesome that you found the channel - and I hope the gear is treating you well! (p.s. hope that bike ride was good!)

You could indeed work from your computer there, but it's going to be expensive and perhaps different that you think. Unlike in North America, there really is no such thing as "free" wifi. You can't go to a coffee shop or mall and just connect. Everyone has their own personal wifi that you can access by purchasing a card at the internet store (ETCSA or ETSCA I believe). Cards are about $1 USD per hour of internet time. If you're working for 8 hours a day, you're looking at about $40 a week - which is probably a lot more expensive than at home. In my experience, very few Cubans have "at home" internet access. Typically wifi is only available at parks. That's right, not only do you need to buy a card, but you have to be in a place where you can access the wifi. It's not like data where you can access it anywhere you want. A few things to consider!

@@DestinationEarth thanks for the detailed explanation

Although some of that list is true, places like Guatemala and Panama, etc are Central America, not North America. Someone else has also commented about Cuba being North America. Based on my understanding, we typically don't lump any Caribbean countries (or places like Greenland) in with North America. There are different ways to look at it though - as these are geographically North America, but they don't participate in the North America Trade agreement that you would see with Canada, United States and Mexico. With these differences in perspective, it's hard to say what exactly is true when it comes to lumping countries together, and there are probably several ways to look at it that makes these statements correct.
