Cheap Holidays In Cuba
June 17, 2010
Probably you have been searching for some cheap Cuba holidays options already and you have not been very lucky. I intend to give you some tips on how to safe money before you book you package holidays to Cuba.
One of the most expensive parts of your holidays in Cuba is definitely the transfers and almost all tour operators will include taxi transfers in their packages Taxis as you can appreciate are the most comfortable but also the most expensive way of touring around Cuba.
In this respect my advice is to take Viazul buses if you are travelling on a budget. With terminals in almost every location in Cuba Viazul can safe you hundreds of pounds or CUC’s
So that you have an idea of how much money you can safe let’s take for instance a taxi transfer from Havana to Trinidad. This journey takes about 5 hours and it will cost you around 250 CUC if you travel by taxi. Instead with viazul a ticket will cost you just 25 CUC.
Just imagine how much money you could be safe if you were to visit places like Havana, Vi?ales Valley, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara or Trinidad. Very easily the amount of money safe could be around 800 CUC if instead of taking taxis you use VIAZUL terminals.
Viazul has an excellent service. Their coaches are new and very comfortable. They come with WC, air conditioning and catering for long journeys.
Most people willing to travel to Cuba don’t know how large this island really is. Cuba stretches for over 1200 Km from East to West. Journeys like Havana to Trinidad take around 5 hours none stop by taxi.
Just one point I want to make clear though which is the fact that VIAZUL alternative will never be as comfortable as the taxi option but hey! We are looking at cheap options here not VIP service.

June 1, 2010
Cuba is the largest and most beautiful island in the Antilles. This amazing country offers a mix of culture, history, architecture, music and geography that captivates whoever visit it. There are plenty of tour operators offering Cuba holidays. All you need to do is find the one that offers what you are looking for.
If you are a water sports lover Cuba is the perfect destination, with astonishing white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, coral reefs and limestone formations just few meters away from the shores.
For SCUBA diving packages or sailing holidays to Cuba the best is to speak to a specialist. Only few tour operators deal with this kind of package holidays. They are more tailor made and it requires more knowledge and research from the agent.
For history buffs, the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Trinidad on the south coast, and the old town of Havana are must see places. At Guama there is an Amerindian village, which has been carefully reconstructed, with wooden bridges linking several islets. Visitors eating outside their hotels should be aware that outside Havana, restaurant menus may be more limited than on many other Caribbean islands, and will be dominated by locally available produce. In contrast, you’ll find no shortage of exotic rum cocktails.
Cuba’s main exports are coffee, rum and cigars, and these make up a good proportion of souvenirs bought too. Also popular are local crafts, widely available in souvenir shops, and usually hotel shops too. A great selection of goods, that will make interesting souvenirs of your Cuban holiday.
Package holidays to Cuba are offered by many tour operators but if you are looking for something more exclusive, lets say bird watching, horse back riding, escorted tours, history or architecture packages then you have to speak to a specialist. You could also stay with Cuban families if you want to get to know Cuban people. This by far is the cheapest form of travel. Most family homes will cost half the price of hotels.
