Top Choices For Great Cuba Holidays with added adventure and excitement
Adventurous travellers can look forward to fantastic, adventure-filled Cuba holidays if they know where to go in the island. Cuba is a fascinating nation that offers some of the best opportunities to indulge in thrilling land and water sports as well as discover enchanting forest trails, challenging hikes and admire amazing scenery.
Due to the restrictive nature of the government, the rate of development in the island is rather uneven, with some of the major cities being the most modern while others offer pristine "uncivilised" lands that an avid explorer will love to discover. This offers some rather interesting sights and experiences. The authentic experiences you will get in these forsaken regions off the beaten path will be truly amazing and there is a variety of native food to try in Cuba's un-commercialised countryside. Expressions of the culture can also be seen everywhere, from multiple murals of all descriptions to almost endless displays of various Caribbean dances at night.
There are a few restrictions, but great Cuba holidays are more accessible now to the average traveller than they have been in a long time. Take some time to do the research about the necessary paperwork and government agencies to contact to avoid any last-minute problems. There are also special holiday packages to Cuba available from agencies that specialise in selling adventure holidays to this vibrant and colorful destination. While the number and extent of restrictions has loosened, there are a lot of regulations to be aware of. One of the things Cubans are well-known for worldwide, the handmade cigars, are part of a variety of import and export restrictions, but they can be enjoyed freely while visiting and you can tour around some of Cuba's most famous cigar plantations and factories.
To prepare for great Cuba holidays, there will be issues with exchanging currency if you bring U.S. dollars. Because of international relations, there is a tax on every exchange, but a penalty is placed on changing U.S. dollars so bring British Pounds Sterling or Euros to avoid these additional taxes. On another note, something to consider money-wise is that there are reports that access to automated teller machines may be inconsistent, so it would be wise to weigh the risks and consider taking more cash than would be necessary, just in case.
Choosing great, action-filled Cuba holidays will create lifelong memories and offer extremely unique opportunities to experience a very interesting and colourful culture. Because of the island's decades-long isolation from the world, there are many very old vehicles that are still in use, but are kept in very good condition since there are not many options to find old replacement parts. This leads to some odd and peculiar sights, like people enjoying some of the finest cigars in the world, but driving an aging clunker of a car.
