Additional Information

​

  • "Visa" or Travel Card: You will need to buy your Cuba Travel Card at the airport. Please check with your airline as they are responsible for that. 

  • Online Form: You are required to fill this form before checking into your flight.  This is a Cuban government requirement.  You will get a QR code via email afterwards, which you are required to show upon entering Cuba. 

  • Money Exchange: Your guide will assist with money exchange as needed, as well as guidance on how to connect to the network  in Cuba.

  • Money: 

    • We recommend to budget about $150 USD per day.  This should be enough for meals, drinks. and tips.

    • Please bring cash as debit or credit cards don't work in Cuba.

    • Vendors and providers are giving better exchange rates than banks and ATMs.  In some cases the difference is 1 Euro/USD = 120 pesos (Official rate) vs 180 pesos (Rate offered by vendors/service providers)

    • We are currently recommending not to exchange all your cash up front, as more and more restaurants are now accepting USD/Euros as payment.  It is good to have some exchange to use at stores and vendors.

    • Please work with your guide to exchange money as needed.

    • Do not exchange at the airport or at ATMs. Work with your guide. 

  • Network Connectivity:

    • You can't download apps once in Cuba. Make sure you download in advance all the apps you need (i.e. Whatsapp, La Nave, VPN.)  

      • La Nave is like the Uber of Cuba. Although the guide will help with this so you don't have to worry about it.  

      • Google Maps file on Havana/Trinidad is also a good  download to have prior to the trip. ​

    • You can purchase a SIM card for your phone to access the Cuban ​network.  The guide can help with this.  Note: Androids work (Not iPhones)

    • You should have access to wifi at the hotel.

    • American banks don't let you access their apps while in Cuba.
