View Full Version : Travel Questions and Advice
Info please. Which Caribbean cities have the cheapest flights to Cuba? Can not fly from a US island like PR or VI. Any ferry boats from the Bahamas?
Will probably fly into Havana or any other city if less expensive.
Thanks,
P ChopCuba is a big country dude, which city do u want to go to?
There are daily flights to Havana from Kingston Jamaica.
The best all-inclusive package deals are from Canada. Either Montreal or Toronto. You can pay as little as $500 per person (depending on the time of year) for 1 week in an all-inclusive resort with the flights and airport transfers included.

I'll be flying into Havana in November on a flight that arrives at 12:40 pm. After customs and getting some local currency, is there enough time to get to the Viazul bus station to catch a 2:20 pm bus?

There's a viazul ticket station at the airport just outside after you clear customs. If you clear customs before 130pm it's doable if you can buy a ticket there.

If I get the ticket right at the airport, do I still take a cab to the Viazul bus station or is there a Viazul right at the airport? My destination is Pinal.

You still have to go to the viazul station in nuevo vedado. It's only a 10 minute cab ride though.

Dont waste your time with Cuban buses.There usually never on time.
A taxi from Jose Marti Airport to downtown Havana cost about 15 cuc.
Its only a 20 minute drive. Always qoute 3 different drivers for best price.
Going to Cuba in November but not sure where. Love travelling around Cuba. Been to Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos a number of years ago and had a great time in both places but from what I read things have changed. I guess I'm a trapper not a hunter since I prefer just hanging out and letting things happen as opposed to aggressive mongering and much prefer the GF experience over the stress and attitude that goes with the pros. Have always stayed in a Casas. Any recommendations on where to go this time. All responses are greatly appreciated.

Hey all. Will be in Havana from the 14th of October to the 28th. May make a sojourn to Holguin in the meantime. Anyone else going to be there at this time? Would be great to meet up! Let me know.

Relax, have a good time, and enjoy.

with the new and latest crack-down on jineteras, many girls are resorting to either cards that they have bought from their friends or are counterfeit. my question is how can you tell the difference, that way you can also protect your self from the **** jineteras.
btw, now if a tourist is caught with an **** jineteras(pre-sex), he/she will spend the rest of his/her vacation in a 6'x4' room, escorted directly to his flight (without his luggage)(now the property of the state), and black listed from ever setting foot on cuban soil again. the authorities will also call the tourist country and let them deal with him/her. you don't even want to know what will happen to you if you get caught(during or post-sex) with an **** jinetera.

that sounds like an optimistic scenario i've never heard, but i have heard and know of plenty examples of foreigners being given long prison sentences.... and they don't need to catch you in the act, just have someone say you did it.
you shouldn't spend anytime with girls that could be minors, even if they're just a friend of your friend. it's not worth the risk.
Does anyone have any advice? I need some dental work done and here in the states I am being charged $2000 and up. I also need to see some kind of doctor about another medical problem.
Anyone have experience with cuban medicine? Any email or websites I can use? I need to go ASAP. I would even call from here.
Thank You

A problem with medicine in Cuba is the lack of pharmaceuticals. The doctors otherwise are reported to be good.

A cab will cost you 60-70CUC, but you can try to hop onto a tourist bus of habanatur or the like. If they are there, the drivers will wait for tourists when you leave the airport. This will set you 20-25CUC back and take a bit longer, because you have to wait until the official tourists for the bus are collected.
Hi.
I'm stuck with a reroutable ticket to the Americas I have to use and am considering a few days in La Havana. At least because it's safe and I'm a cigar smoker (plus a decent spanish speaker ). Read a few pages of the reports and you are all talking about the casas. Is it because one can't bring girls to the hotels? What are the girlfriendly luxury options then, as I'd rather stay in 5 star like large suites or serviced apartments in most places I visit. What are the best options in that respect ?
Thanks

ThanksDepends on what you want to do. You can only register 1 girl in a hotel per reservation. To get another chica inside you will have to tip the security 50-75bucks or pay for another room. Its bullshit but its Cuba. The best hotel for me, and I've stayed in them all is Melia Habana-you can book through the internet no problem. They have decent internet coverage, nice suites (Royal Service floor is best) , decent food (Italian and sushi-japanese restraunt in the hotel). Also they have a GREAT cigar room where you can buy and smoke any type of cigar you want-great selection of Rum too. Its close to La Cecillia (best spot on weekends) and has a small shopping plaza next to it. But if you want to nail lots of girls rent a cheap casa on the side-theres several close to the hotel. The hotel security will drive you nuts if you want to bring lots of girls inside. Be carefull of pickpockets in La Cecillia. Suerte
Thanks Sabalo! I don't think I want to deal with a hit and miss security. Expensive also, I don't mind paying many times that per night for the room, but tipping the guard 75usd to get a girl who might be asked to leave or leave the room by herself after a few minutes doesn't sound attractive. Yet I don't want to rough it out either in Cuba in a cheap casa.
Are there options of luxury girlfriendly casas? I see people going to Cuba on business housed in some nice serviced apartments. Would those be easier to get a girl through the door?

On this link there are some nice casas advertised, revolico. Com / vivienda / alquiler-a-extranjeros, search for the ones with piscina. On more regular casa websites you will also find casas with pool and more luxury, an example is cubaccommodation. Com and you can make a reservation. I would not go to a hotel, you get more value for money in a casa and more privacy.
Thanks HabanaLover, some nice accomodations on the second link. And also cheaper than I'd planned.
Funny how they add :
" Note: When you Rent a Private House, Locals Are Welcome!"
Looks OK, what about maid services though, do you have to arrange it directly with the owner?
Anyway will call tomorrow the airline and try to reroute my ticket to Cuba.
Cheers!
Habana Lover
01-23-11, 18:52
Talk to the casa owner to be sure that you can bring girls. Usually, the casa owners will not invite girls, as it is tricky business, pimping is illegal by law (prostitution is not, but girls are prosecuted according to a more general law for 'anti social behavior. ') , so most casa owners do not get into the business of inviting girls. Go to one of the discos mentioned on the website.
Also, when you reserve a casa in Cuba, you can never be 100% sure the casa will be kept free for you, as there is no payment by credit card. So, after you get address and phone number, call beforehand to confirm.
Thanks HL! I really meant maids to clean the rooms actually, as I didn't notice such a service advertised on the website.
Besides do you mean it's fine to ask the owner if I can bring girls in the villa? Is there any kind of security to check who comes in and out in such casas anyway?
Well noted about double checking the availibilty of the casa, will do!
Cheers
Habana Lover
01-23-11, 21:45
I won't be difficult to organize maid service, just ask.
Yeah it is better to ask the owner if you can bring in guests. If the casa has a license (and I think the casas from that website all have a license) , your belongings will be secure, as the owner is in trouble when things get stolen. Therefore, it is also better to inform the owner about guests, so that he can check IDs. It is like in many countries where hotels register girls for the safety of their guests and not to report to the authorities.

I live in Colombia but am American and have an American passport. I was wondering when leaving and entering Colombia do they stamp my passport as usual and if so when I reenter the US how do I get by that obstacle. Where was I? Why do I have an exit stamp from Colombia and a reentry stamp.
Thanks for your advice. Because you went to Venezuela, and they didn't stamp your passport there.

Perfect. Thanks for posting!Thanks for the post brother. Hey, I have to mustering up my confidence to do Cuba. I've done Brazil, Asia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru just fine. I love DR and I'm there 3 time a year for a month or more.
Now my Spanish is not flawless but I'm far from beginner if I had to quantify my Spanish level, I would say advanced but not native. I have Mexican accent when speaking Spanish but have begun developing a Dominican one.
So my question is, how to I handle the immigration / passport / customs thing in Cuba when I arrive? So my plan is to go to DR and stay for a week or so then take one of the many flights from Santo Domingo to Havana, I think they have 1, 3 times a week.
I know I will have to show my passport when I get to Cuba but how is that situation handled? Or what should I expect when landing and going through the immigration process?
Thanks

Cuba immigration now is fast and easy, no hassle at all. They might harass you for a laptop or electronics. In this case they give you a piece of paper where you need to bring it back with you.

I realize this is an old post but I will post for informational purposes.
Private taxi Varadero to Havana will cost every bit of 100CUC ($100USD / 80EURO)
What you need to do. If it is in the daytime go to the bus station in Varadero. There you will find people with private taxi. You can get a ride to Havana for 10CUC. 15CUC max. This is someone with a private car. It is illegal (for them). At first they will quote you nutty prices like 60CUC but they will go for 10. I ride these from Havana to Santa Clara regularly for 15CUC and that is 180km further.
Okay It's going to be my third time in Havana Cuba, unfortunately my plane will be landing at Varedero. Does anyone know the actual price for a taxi from the Varedero airport to Havana Vieja, (near The Prado)?

Hi.
I've finally booked a trip for beginning of May and am about to book a villa 1min walk from La Maison (Bar, Restaurant, Nightclub and fashion Shows) in Playita de 16.
Do you know if this a good area for girls, and within walking distance from the old town?
Thanks

ThanksThe maison is in Miramar, quite a ways from old Havana. The Maison is a very small nightclub and always has a few chicas. I hang out there on Friday nights sometimes. It's a nice central area to stay in, close to La cecillia and Jonnys. You can take a cab to calle 23 and the malecon if you want to hunt during the day. I'm in Bogota right now then Cartagena for a week then will be in Cuba for another week until May 5. Send me a pm and I can fill you in on any info you need
I'm thinking of going to Guardalavaca, Cuba. Any of you guys been here? If so, can you share all the info you have.
What's it like?
Where to stay?
Clubs to go to?
How's the chica action?
Chica friendly Casa particulars?
Going rate for chicas?
Where's the best place to pick up?
What are the chicas like, attitudes, etc?
Thanks in advance.

As of the villa, I noticed they rent it out with 4 to 6 BRs at different prices. Does it mean if I rent 4 BRs that I might end up sharing the villa with someone else using the extra bedrooms ? I did ask to the website today when inquiring / booking it but some of you might know how it works in such a case.
Sabalo, I should be in havana May 5th in the evening as well, if you are still there we can hook up.
Besides will my mobile phone be working in Cuba?

many thanks.
La Maison is very close to the tunnel which connects Havana with Miramar. Theres not much happening up that way except for some of the Clubs like Johnnys. 1830s but its all hard core girls. There are alot of police who pullover tourists with rental plates on the Havana side of the tunnel so be careful if you have girls in your car.
The location is about 1 1/2 miles west of Cohiba hotel along the Malecon-Miramar is a beautiful place.
Hope this helps
Thanks Adinga, that's useful info! I'm exchanging emails now with the rental agent to clarify the situation, but might end up in a hotel suite if the owner stays in the same house.
Is there any 5stars hotel where I'm less at risk to be hassled by the security when bringing in girls? Cuba for sure doesn't look as much fun a dictature as Burma to monger and party.

If you are looking to hook up with girls you definitely want to stay at a private house. You may be able to get them into a hotel, but most won't want to, you will have to pay the security, a lot more risk with trouble from the police and after an hour the security will want to come collect them from your room. In the end, a huge hassle and headache.
You want to be in a private house where the owner is not anal about you bringing in girls (probably the majority of houses).

Well I paid heed to your advice but trying to rent a villa in Cuba has proven quite frustrating as they seemed to become unavailable as soon as I asked to book them. This and a couple of more points and this trip looked like a major hassle, soI finaly cancelled it...
I am looking for a cheap airfare from Los Angeles area to Cancun, which is from where I like to fly to Havana.
I found a RT ticket earlier, fly out mid May and fly back mid July (intend to stay in Cuba only 2 months) , for $600. 00.
If anyone has seen any cheaper fares lately, please let me know.
From my prior trips, and have not been back in about four years, the airfare to the third country is the only thing I can control, somewhat.
The rest, I know what to expect to pay. Casa, food, booze, girls, etc.
Helps a lot that I am a brown skinned latino. Speak fluent spanish.
Last time stayed put in one place in havana. This time going from place to place.
Thanks for any help. Please pm me.

I suggest you visit Nash Travel website for price information. They also provide a listing of all gateway countries and airlines which travel to Cuba.
Cancun is a good gateway because there are 2 or 3 daily flights to Havana except on Sundays. The airlines carriers which provide service were Cubana and Mexicana. This was as of 2009 so things probably have changed.
Two months in Cuba wow! Enjoy
I am considering a solo self-guided saltwater fly fishing trip to Cuba. Areas with mangroves and shallow water are ideal for wading for bonefish, tarpon etc. And Cuba's flatwater wees very little fishing pressure.
Two areas that I have identified are Bahia de los Cochinos and Cayo Romano. Have any readers had any experience in these areas, or with fly fishing Cuba in general?
Does anyone know if hiring a small boat by the day is feasible?
A third possible fishing area, near Holguin, is called Bahia de Malagueta.
I would like to do more than just fish. Any thoughts on how a gringo with fluent spanish would make out in rural Cuba?
Vagabundo.
If you fly into Jose Marti airport in Havana take a cab ride to the Hemingway Marina in Miramar. There are serious fisherman from all over the world from whom I'm sure youll obtain much information.
Spanish is a big plus but money is the key.
Figure $200 a day budget which includes casa, girl, food, drink, taxis (No rent a car)
From which one of the following locations should I fly? Where's cheap? Where's Expensive? What are the airfares? Are the airport taxes expensive? Easy or difficult connecting Flights?

Cancun, Mexico.
Kingston, Jamaica.
Managua, Nicaragua.
Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
San Jose, Costa Rica.
San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
San Salvador, Bahamas.
San Salvador, El Salvador.
Santiago, Dominican Republic.
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
St. MaartenSan Jose, CR is a REALLY good option. You should consider mongering there for a week or two, brushing up on your Spanish, and THEN going to Cuba from there. It'd be a good compare / contrast experience.

Hey folks,
I am thinking about visiting Cuba for the first time later this year (app. 18 Sept. 02 Oct.)
I have spent the past two days reading up in this forum and enjoying the posted pics. Thanks to all contributors!
Of course I will be the typical tourist: light skin, blue eyes and my spanish is limited to una mas, por favor!
I am desperately in need of advice where I can find a chica friendly place to stay.
Should I plan all accomodations from home or will it suffice to get a place to crash for the first night and go along from there, finding places to stay when I get there?
I will be flying Frankfurt to Havanna and back the same way. I want to start by taking in the flair of Havanna for a few days, before moving on to one or two other cities during my stay.
But where to go? I was thinking Hologuin, Camaguey or Santa Clara? Any Ideas?
Is anyone else planning to be in Cuba at the same time?
I am hoping for some good tips!
In return, if anybody is planning a stay in Frankfurt, Germany. Send me a PM.
Thanks,
Robert
Go to t Nash Travel website or Cubalinda for all gateway country flights, times and prices.
Best place to start. IMHO

RobertJust a few hints from my side:
Arrange tourist card and flight. Bring enough cash or credit card. Book a hotel for the first night (as a Cuba newbie). That's all for preparation needed. Don't worry about making reservations of a casa before hand. It is officialliy forbidden not to register your visitors. You will find enough owners who are closing an eye, but no one will tell you via E-mail. Find some addresses on.
https://www.mycasaparticular.com
And visit them directly.
You have three weeks. If you don't like Havanna, go to other cities, such as Cienfuegos, Holguíand, Santiago. Havanna has the best infrastructure for hunting. But it's picked mostly with professionals, especially in the clubs. Be aware to pay 50 CUC and upwards (up to 80 CUC max). If you have time. And three weeks is plenty. Try to speak to local girls during daytime in the streets and see what happens. The most common word nowadays is "necesidad". Everyone really needs cash unless they have a supporter in USA or elsewhere.
Don't make plans for your whole trip. Be prepared to adapt to your situation. Avoid Cuban males trying to help you, it only lifts prices up.
I like Havanna, because it is a really safe place. However, never forget professional girls are clever and the "chulos" behind them too. Have a great trip. More info, send a PM.
And of course it was better in 1999. But who cares?
Hi guys,
Do you guys know that I can rent a complete apartment in Havana? I am not looking for the usual renting a room or sharing with tourists. Price is not an issue.
Many thanks
Hey guys.
Cuba newbie here. Going from Tuesday July 19 to the 26th. Anyone want to me up? Will be in Havana primarily I'm guessing. Haven't book any hotels yet. Early 30's, fit, considered good looking.
Speaking of which:
Is it possible for anyone to PM me friendly casa's and where the hot places to meet ladies are at now?
Would love some current details on the situation.
Hi there,
I will be in Cuba for my first time for 3 weeks in January. I plan to spend a few days in Habana and then visit the other cities like Trinidad, Camaguey and Santiago. I am 33, dark skinned and good looking, fluent in Spanish.
I would really appreciate your help to find some casas that accept "company", if you know any.
Is it worth to buy a cuban SIM card for the mobile?
What do you think of the jineteras? They are cheaper than the pro, but would they spend the whole night with you? And how do you find them in general?
Thanks for your answers.

Would I look like a ridiculous tourist wearing shorts like I would in other areas of South and Central America? They are more comfortable in hot humid weather, and I wear them all the time in Thailand, but I prefer to blend in a little and not have the locals snickering.

I prefer to wear long pants, because all civilised mature Cuban men do.
Thanks. I guess I'll wear shorts during the day, but wear cool long pants in the evenings.
Is it possible to buy Cialis there?
Greetings fellow mongers,
First time traveller to Cuba, but not my first time to the dance, having travelled throughout the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
Have researched the forum, but still looking for some advice, pointers, from the more seasoned Cuba travellers out there.
Going to Cuba, Varadero, to an all inclusive for a one week, cheap and cheerful, holiday. Have read on the forum advice on casas, etc. Wondering if anyone here has any pointers on hooking up while staying in an all inclusive.
One my friends, who has been to Cuba a few times, who has stayed in a all inclusive, tells me this is how he operates. Check in, find a friendly hotel staff member, slip him $20 CUC, ask him to set you up with some female company, no friendly staff member, cruise along the beach, talk to the life guards as they seem to know woman who are up for play for pay, and if that is not successful, strike out on your own along the beach. Once he has met his new friend, he goes to the front desk, buys her a wrist band for the day, and they are good to go.
Any comments on this strategy? Any dangers, scams I should be keeping my eyes open for, other than the obvious, but unique to Cuba? Cell phone use common amongst the women? Good to hook up in discos, night clubs? Basically any heads up, advice, pointers would be much appreciated.
Will be in Cuba around the end of October for a week, will post in Travel Plans later, if anyone out there wants to meet up in Varadero for a few cold ones.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Thanks for any help you can give!Have you stayed in AI in SEA? Varadero is an enclave too remote from any action. My best advice, cancel your comfortable AI and head to Havana. Rent a casa.
The vacation will be fine. Mongering will be so. So.
Cubans cannot be trusted.
Its pretty much trial & error but remember if a Cuban asks for $20 counter with $8.
If you don't speak spanish be that more observant of your enviorment.
Greetings fellow mongers,
Have researched the forum, but still looking for some advice, pointers, from the more seasoned Cuba travellers out there.Like the previous poster said, cancelling the AI and heading for Havana for a casa may well be the best option. The feedback you received from others who have been to Varadero may well work. I myself have never stayed in an AI. If you do decide to stay in Varadero, I recommend you take off for a night or two and head to Cardenas or Matanzas, the former is a short taxi ride from Varadero. It is possible to hook up with a chica and either spend the night at her place or pay no more than $20 CUC for a room somewhere (She should be able to find a place) where you can fuck, fall asleep together and if you are up to it, get your morning wood taken care of.
The only down side to this arrangement is that you will be paying for a hotel room in Varadero and not using it, but that is Cuba for you. Over the years, I have paid for many nights in casas in Cuba and never spent the nights there, typically crawling in sometime between 7- 9am. I spent the nights at the Cubana's place or paid for an illegal casa where we could fall asleep together. Short term rentals are also available too.
There was a first time Brit traveller who went to Varadero recently and took some time to check out Cardenas. He reported here a few months ago. I hope you took the time to read his report. Good Luck!
Thanks for the info and advice, appreciate it. I am going the AI route because it is just so cheap to do from Toronto. An AI one week, last minute deal, can be had for under $500, taxes, air fare, all in. Taking your advice, may make the AI my home base and check out some of the areas that were mentioned, spend a night or two in a casa. Cuba sounds like a lot more work than SEA, this is just a teaser holiday, to tide me over, until I have the time to return to Angeles City in the Phils, a destination that should be on every man's bcuket list, for an extended tour of duty!

If you do not care about falling asleep cuddled up against a Cubana after mind-blowing sex, then you can easily get laid in Cardenas and return to your hotel room. Another thing to keep in mind, the younger the chica, the lower the probability that they have their own place and room where they can bring you to spend the night. I kinda stumbled onto that realization a while back when I hooked up with older Cubanas who did not hesitate to take me back to their places, whereas with younger Cubanas we had to rent a room for a while, or go to an illegal casa where I paid $15 CUC for the night, but she woke me up and we went our ways early in the morning (Between 6-7 am).
Doing some Cuba research on Trip Advisor and chatting with others who have been to CUba. A lot of people bring gifts for the locals, tolietries, shoes, clothes, etc. These usally end up in the hands of maids and bartenders, two of the most lucrative jobs to have in Cuba. A two part question. 1) Should I bring any gifts for my new female friends? 2) What should I bring that they would really appreciate, yes I know lots of CUC, but items they want, yet are not readily available. Thanks.
Two weeks and counting!
Will share my hands on research upon my return.
I personally don't take anything besides Dollars lots and lots of it they love the color green there LOL. But the things that they usually ask if I have any is Perfumes, makeup, lingerie etc.
I had a girl ones fall in love with my AXE dry deodorant and want it as a gift I didn't give it to her because I still had a few more days in Cuba and the deodorant they sale in the stores there suck.

Will share my hands on research upon my return.Jeans.
Blouses.
Things for the hair, like to hold the hair back (pick something with a bit of style)
Snacks, they love western cookies, cakes and brownies.
Underwear, something with a bit of style.
I am sure you get the jist, nothing too expensive but a daily item that will be appreciated and that is not readily available in Cuba.
They have more than you think. Most of its the cheap imitation stuff but it still looks good.
They love chocolate, American potatoe chips and razors for shaving.
When your with them in Cuba its Beer, cigarettes and an occasional meal.

Will share my hands on research upon my return.Some good suggestions already. I believe soap and toothpaste are no longer in the ration book, so that will be appreciated. Along with the soap, some good quality shampoo and deodorant will be appreciated too. Razors for shaving are good and the gift that people do not think about, but will be appreciated is a nice set of towels (Face, hair and body). You give a Cuban a nice set of towels and they will not forget you.
Bottom line, it would not be a bad idea for you to plan to give away most of the stuff you arrive with, including your clothes and shoes. Just ask the chica if she has a brother who could use your sneakers and even if they are the wrong size, someone will appreciate them

Recently the Cuban Central Bank has announced a change in the Peso convetible to Dollar exchange rate to 1 to 1. They seem to have kept the 10 percent Gravamen on the dollar. Does any one know if they are also reducing 10 percent from the Euro or Other currencies?

There is at least a 10% penalty for USD, also it is not quite $1=1 CUC when you sell.

Hey guys,
I am heading to Varadero with the parents from dec 9-16. From my research it seems like this area is pretty dry, but fun can be had if one is resourceful. Also, that it may be worth taking a trip to Matanzas or Cardenas. If someone has been to Varadero recently and had some experience with this, can you please email me? [Email address deleted by Admin]

If you've paid your dues you should be able to send private messages-contact Jackson.
Varadaro is pretty dry; sometimes you can get local talent through the Porters or Pool staff at the Hotels-only action at clubs is in Cardanes on the weekends but its pretty scetchy. Suggest you take a bus into Havana for the night and go to any of the clubs in the evening such a Casa the Musica. If you get a messaging account send me a note and I can give you my contact name and email in Havana. Happy hunting.

Anyone going to be in Havana this weekend? I'll be in town Friday to Sunday, would love to meet up for drinks and scouting.

I have mongered in Matanzas and it was very good. I have been to Cardenas but did not check out the nightlife, but there was someone who posted here a few months ago, and he had a great time in Cardenas. I suggest you read a little bit of the archived material.
Casa de la Musica in Havana has lots of chicks, but they are ALL hard core, experienced and aggressive jineteras.
Matanzas and Cardenas are not only closer to Varadero, but you will also find the "Girl next door part timer type" who fits the original description of jinetera. Read up on the archives and take notes.

Hey Man.I can only go by my experience-others you say had a great time in Cardenas-I was there in 2004, 2008 and 2009; to me its a shithole; but one person's gold is another's crap so who knows.
As for Matanza I was there in 2008 and 2009; maybe it changed since I was there but as far as I remember there was little happening unless you went on the weekend which I did not. I'm sure you can find talent anywhere you go in Cuba but if you do not speak the language you will have difficulty, especially Matanza. Havana has the most clubs, chicas and choice by far, but the cost is a little higher. I've been to Cuba over 20 times and seen over 100 chicas-I agree the ones in casa de musica, in Havana, are mostly hard core but there are some others there as well if you have the time to sift thru the garbage. You can't generalizeby saying ' ALL are hard core, experienced and aggressive jineterasas'- I found a couple of jewels there. As far as finding "Girl next door part timer type" in Cardanez or Matanza, in my opinion you're dreaming and misleading the Forum, if you think its easy pickin.

Varadero is dead for mongering and if there is the odd puta around you will have a ton of competition-Although Varadero is in Cuba its basically a man made western style enviroment for tourists-similar to Cayo Coco. Almost nothing on this board when it comes to mongering is related to Varadero-you need to go to Havana or another decent sized city. I can't tell you how many guys I've seen at the all inclusives in Varadero wondering where all the girls are. They go to Varadero expecting good night life with lots of chicas-it won't happen. You can find a few girls in Matanzas but without a bilingual guide you can trust, you will have a tough time. Its not impossible to find a chica but keep your expectations low. I was in a Varadero all inclusive last month with my cubanita for a few days and I had 3 different groups of guys approach me "where you find that girl". The hotel was a complete sausage party with a group of attractive single Canadian girls fucking the cuban dancers and dive instructors. I brought out a couple very hot girls for a few of the rich guys (I actually felt sorry for them because they thought they were going on a sex vacation) but it wasnt cheap-taxi each way $200 about $100-$150 per night for the girl=$80 per night to register the girl at the hotel-no entrance without registration. One of the guys actually fell in love-I don't know how because he spoke no espanol and she no engles-its amazing what a good cuban fuck can do to your average North American man If you have a few bucks to spend this might be an option. I would say your best bet is to get to know the bartenders-tip them well and they can probably find you a decent girl. Most of these guys have worked in these resorts for 10 years and know the system inside out-and probably won't fuck you around because they are employees and you will see them the next day.
Suerte
Sabalo, good advice from you. Funny, your report.
Hey Tank Not Mt,
You do have a good point about Matanzas and weekends. I was last there on a weekend. I did tell the poster seeking information (in a PM he sent me) that he may well want to get hold of an English speaking jinetero to set things up for him. I actually recall running into an English speaking guy in Matanzas. He sounded just like any Latino from the New York- New Jersey part of the US (Mostly Cubanos, Boricuas and Dominicans). He told me (even before I asked) that he had served time in prison in the US for drug trafficking and had been deported back to Cuba. I figured he had been asked that question a lot of times, from the way he talked and volunteered information.
Maybe the poster, AwesomeSauce, will run into this guy in Matanzas.
The poster does have the option of hiring a jinetero and looking in Cardenas and / or Matanzas for the following reasons.
Going by the prices that Sabalo reported, the cost of mongering in Matanzas or Cardenas (An English speaking jinetero plus a chica plus a room in Cardenas or Matanzas) will be cheaper than going all the way to the Casa de la Musica in Havana. Awesome Sauce also has to consider TIME, since he will be travelling with his parents. There is a poster here who once said he was hooked up by male employees in Varadero, so I hope AwesomeSauce has read the older reports.
Either way, good luck and please do give us a report when you return.

Awesome sauce here to report,
I have thoroughly read through every single post that has talked about Matanzas and Cardenas and have come to the conclusion that both are worth a shot. It is true, I am only in Varadero for one week with my father. While I will have a great deal of freedom, I do need to consider discretion and grace in my mongering activities, for my own safety and of course the honour of mi familia. SO here is my step by step plan. I arrive on Saturday morning. I'm going to shower up and head down to the pool and beach area. I am going to try to chat up some of the more morally-flexible looking male staff and see if I can have any chicas arranged through them. Ideally, would be great if they could find a girl, sneak them into the resort and send them to my room while my dad is taking a snorkeling class or something. If I am unable to find any industrious cubanos to assist me in my search for satisfaction at the AI, I will try some of the clubs that night to see what the action is like there. I hear that La comparsita is frequented by locals and chicas and I may be able to find soemthing there, but then there is the issue of where to take them, since casas are minimal if not nonexistent in Varadero. Next step would be to rent a scooter and head out to Cardenas or Matanzas, and try to find a jinetero to hook me up. Also, while not fluent in spanish, I do know some, perhaps enough to get by in Mataznas on my own. If all this fails, and I will probably end up doing this anyways, but I plan to spend a night in Havana which (through contacts provided by generous members of this forum) I will meet up with a man who will take care of my transportation, accomodation, and fornication needs (not personally of course.). So best case scenerio, Varadero barman sends up sum slutty maid moonlighting as a working girl to my room to iron out my wrinkles. Worst case scenario, I'm stuck on the beach drinking mojitos in varadero all day, party with las turistas at Saturday night, and I scooter out to Cardenas and Matanzas and try to score during the week, and I am still assured one crazy night in Havana. If anybody thinks I have overlooked something, please feel free to chime in with another post, or PM me with advice. This is my first time to Cuba and any and all advice and contacts will be appreciated. Thank you everyone for responding to my original quiery and keep them comin! I don't leave til the 9th, and I will be checking the forum regularly until then. Cheers

One more option that may save you time and effort is to hook up with a cab driver in Varadero who may take you right to the ladies in Cardenas. This was my experience. Cab there and back was 30 cuc, and girl was 30 as well. Find another lonely monger and split cab fare. I met a coupla guys there who spoke no spanish and were doing that every day, but were paying the girls up to 60 per pop. I speak spanish well and get along very well with cuban men and women so can usually knock the price down a bit.
I was only there for 2 days, one night and did recieve the 'look' from chicas while walking around town a few times, but never on the main streets, always side streets. I was staying in a casa paricilar (there are a few, just recently the laws were changed to allow them) and am pretty sure I coulda snuck them in but didn't bother.

I am hoping some ambitious cubano will proposition me, whether its a bartender, porter, cab driver etc. This may have both risks and benefits, but I suppose thats part of the adventure. Hopefully will find some like-minded individuals that can accompany me and share the costs of the adventure as well. I look forward to having some stories to tell when I return. Hopefully some pictures too. Thanks again for your response.
Veradero has beautiful beaches and is a very relaxing but theres no pussy.

Veradero has beautiful beaches (not as beautiful as the beaches in Villa Clara, I. E, the keys) and is a very relaxing but, there's no pussy.
Fortunately, Havana, is not where most of the pussy is, but, is indeed where most of the hard core girls are located.
Your best chances lie in the other provinces, excluding Santa Clara, because I swear, Santa Clara is on "lock-down".
If you had more time, you could hang out on badoo and meet a "non-pro" student, get her number and confidence, and meet her at her home and have a great time without dropping a dime. But it appears you have not done this foot work nor do you have the time to invest while in Cuba. I'd rent a scooter and start talking to all the chicas that interest me on the road and see where this takes me. Forget the jiniteros, their game is that you need them, YOU DON'T! They are a waster of time and money.
You decide.

So best case scenerio, Varadero barman sends up sum slutty maid moonlighting as a working girl to my room to iron out my wrinkles. Worst case scenario, I'm stuck on the beach drinking mojitos in varadero all day, party with las turistas at Saturday night, and I scooter out to Cardenas and Matanzas and try to score during the week, and I am still assured one crazy night in Havana. If anybody thinks I have overlooked something, please feel free to chime in with another post, or PM me with advice. This is my first time to Cuba and any and all advice and contacts will be appreciated. Thank you everyone for responding to my original quiery and keep them comin! I don't leave til the 9th, and I will be checking the forum regularly until then. Cheers
1.Some more Info on Varadero, Matanzas and Cardenas.
1) I visited recently and Varadero has changed somewhat on the Chica and Casas scene There are now legalized Casas in Varadero and I cruised the main downtown area at night. There are chicas walking around either in pairs or alone. I picked up one and went to a casa in Santa Marta (Just out of the Barrier gate) This is where majority of people working in varadero live. Ask around or google Casas Particulares for Santa Marta. There are many.
2) Security guards on the resorts beaches : Get freindly with them. They are excellent source for hooking you up with chicas, I speak passable spanish and one these security guys (lives in Santa Marta) took me next day to a place past Cardenas named Maximo Gonzales and another town named Agramonte. Plenty of chicas in these small towns, BUT you will need a cuban friend to introduce you. All 9's and 10's.
3) Show genuine respect and true freindhip to cuban male workers and you will be truly rewarded.
4) cybercupido. Com amd Badoo. Com have also worked for me everytime in past visits. Try and rent a car with a fellow Mongerer and you can keep costs down.
5) Visit as an independent traveler and not with package deals. Every dime you spend in government stores and resorts goes to "GAESA" Do some research on "GAESA" (http://www.autentico.org/oa09602.php) and you will find out a whole lot more of what goes on in that country. Spend your dollars at Casas and private restaurants (paladares) That money goes direectly to the cuban public.
I should let you know that I have been to Cuba 15 times since 2001.
Thanks

Let me say that I am in Cuba at least 12 times per year, and often twice a month. You do not need the assistance of Cuban men. Unless you are a complete ass and just cannot find your way. You do not need to end up with a pro or so called semi-pro. You do not need to pay anything more than $25 which should be offered as a gift not as a payment for sex. Enough said.

Sure, it is less difficult in terms of bringing girls into your room. There are the so-called girl-friendly casas.

Was in CUBA in 92, 93, 94, 95.
So times are chanching I see. What is the best destination right now for ST. LT for a cheap price.
Cuba? Dom. Rep. Ore Haiti.
I'm oit a cheap carly. But I'm on vacation 4 month a year. So sometimes I'm like it hot and cheap, etc.
Regards and thanks for every recomandet place in the careeb. Ore central America, etc.

You were lucky to experience Cuba during glory years of the 90s.
Cuba is no longer a cheap destination and part time girls are hard to come by.
Most of the girls today are hard core professionals working the club scene.
My minimum daily budget is 160 cuc or $200. I'm also a cheap charlie.

Hello, to everybody!
I am planning my 1st trip to Cuba (Havana) and I really have some questions for the more experienced.
1) I am thinking about June. Is it a good time? How is the weather? There will be many tourists?
2) I am thinking about renting a villa. Is it safe? Can girls enter without problem? Where can I look for one in internet? (I want to have arranged everything from here till I go)
3) I want to rent a car. Is it really so important? Is there any fear of theft during the night?
Thank you very much in advance!

Appollo.
First thing-spend the time and read the reports; especially in the Reports of Distiction there is tons of info there that will help.
SEcond pay Jackson his $20 and pm some of the senior members who have been there a lot and they can give you additional insite.
Some good tips:
1) June is a good time. Its not 'tourist season' so its not as busy and you can more easily find accomodations and chicas. Try to pu a good book or CD to learn a little spanish-it"ll go a long way; June is usually pretty hot. There are less tourists then.
2) There are a few Villa's available. You can find good chica friendly CASAs with a pool if you do some research here. Forget about finding anything on th internet and forget about trying to book there as it is first come first serve. (If you run out of ideas you can pm me and I can give you a couple of my Havana contacts).
3) No need to rent a car unless you are shareing with one or two friends; cabs are cheap and plentiful and most drivers are friendly and can help you. There are many clubs and bars you can read up on and good places to walk and pu chicas-again a little spanish will go a long way. For the most part Havana is very safe but you don't have to be stupid either.
Ps-there's a good chance I'll be back in June but maybe on a week long tour of the country.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply my friend,
It is important to book the villa from my country since I will not pay for the trip. It will be a gift. But it has to be booked before I go.
Is this site reliable. www.havanacasaparticular.com
I will go with a friend and we will rent a car.
In which area is it better to stay? Center? Miramar? Vedado?
As I understand, police checks everything relating to girls. Will it be possible to take girls in the car for a ride?
Thank again!

Hi there,
Currently I'm planning a four week trip through Cuba maybe in may and maybe some experienced guys here could help in answering some questions. I will arrive in Havanna and stay there in a Casa Particular for 4-5 days, then I plan to see some other cities and regions (not Varadero as I'm not looking for tourist spots). Viazul wil be used for longer distances, maybe also a train ride could be a nice challenge. My spanish is limited but I do not care about. Maybe most questions are more tripadvisor related than Jackson's forum but I will do a detailed report when I'm back. About Havanna and all other cities and girls I have visited.
- what daily budget is expected for a backpacker-like live in Cuba (excluding girls as this is a separate budget) , I will stay in casa particulars, use Viazul buses maybe every 3rd or 4th day and need to buy food and drinks. My expected budget for this is 100 CUC a day which should be ok.
- I will take either CHF or EUR with me (and a master card as backup) , and it seems that I need to change most of my travel budget at the beginning. Can I leave this in the Casa Particulars or do you advise me to better keep always all the money at the body, wherever I go?
- maybe you have some advises which cities to go in addition to Havanna. E. G. Camaguey and Trinidad are on my radar, knowing that the girls scene in Havanna still seems to be the best but I should also see some interesting areas, not only chicas.
Thank you very much in advance,

i have never used this site for accomodations so i cannot tell you if its reliable. i have my contacts who arrange accomodations for me. freinds i know have booked places and found when they arrived that for some unexplained reasons the places were occupied by others (probably paid more).
from my experience there should be many chica friendly villas avilable with a pool for a good price, in june-the best ones i know of are in vedado. i prefer miramar myself as it is close enough to the city and most of the good clubs, like la cecillia, are there. all locations are all good-but i would want to make sure they are chica friendly, otherwise you will need another place to party. i've never heard of anyone booking a villa in havana online but there's always a first. i'd be curious how it works out. let us know.
in regards to the police, the policy changes from year to year and month to month. generally the cops try to police prostitution and do a terible job. if you're at a club and pick up a girl; the cops are usually nearby and nab the girls if they go in a private car; even in one cab with a tourist. if however you are driving arround with a chica or 2 they will generally leave you alone. there is no problem with you-the cops will generally not bother a tourist unless you have drugs or **** girls-then you're in big trouble. otherwise if you get stopped-say for a traffic ticket (and if you don't know the local rules, it may be unexpected) you can ususally buy yourself out of trouble with a 10 cuc slipped into the paperwork. again, i don't recommend renting a car. if you're in a traffic accident, wether its your fault or not you may spend a few nights in jail, depending on how serious it is; or posting a $500 bond you may never see again. and if you have a chica with you it'll be worse for her. like i said before, in today's havana i wouldn't drive. 5-10 years ago it was different. you could drive by the malacon and pick up dozens of chicas and pile them in-not today.
good luck and be safe.

1. 100 cuc per day is more than enough.
2. Have a plan but do not worry about not following it as things change, the pace is slow in Cuba.
3. Havana is not necessarily the best place for chicas, you may find that Tridnidad, Sancti Spiritus, Holguin or some little shit hole town to be very good. Though your limited Spanish may be a problem.
4 Leave your rings, necklace and watch at home.

4 Leave your rings, necklace and watch at home.Hi Beersterry,
Thanks a lot for the quick information.
Depending on the forums I read, some say Havanna is the best, others say Havanna is the worst regarding chicas so I will try by myself. First some days Havanna and then more than 3 weeks somewhere else on the island. My Spanish is limited but good enough for some conversations so this should not be a serious issue.
The only fix date I will have there is my flight back home, so being flexible is also not an issue.
The question about the valuables was more related to the CUCs I changed at arrival, but this is also solved as I will use a mixture between CUCs and Visa (found a Visa card which is free of charge when using it at ATMs in Cuba. But also knowing that an ATM will not be available at every corner)
I will report early June about my experiences in Cuba. Really looking forward to visit this interesting country.
Stay save,
Hotzo
I was thinking of bringing some unlocked phones with me to give away or possibly even sell for a few CUC's.
They should work, any reason why they wouldn't if I got a sim card from one of the local phone shops in town?

You might also catch a hotel bus picking up guests. Worst case is CUC$25 but you might haggle them down to $20.
Taxi will be about CUC$70/80

Folks,
Just wondering when is the best time of year to travel to Cuba. Taking into account nice weather, girls available. Is it best to go in the low season and avoid male competition or are the number of girls low in low season or is it best to go in hight season and chase the girls. I'm interested in 9s and 10s.
Greatful for any useful info.

Hi folks,
Spending 4 weeks in Cuba soon. Do most casas particulares allow female guests or is it a hit and miss to find such casas? I will stay some days in Havana and then fly to Baracoa having about 3 weeks to head back to Havana. I prefer to feel the real Cuba adventures so I will not use a rental car. Just camiones, viazul and train.
Any tips for casas? Will write detailed reports about the different towns when I'm back.
Thanks in advance,

hotzoit is not a hit and miss if you talk to the owner upfront and let him / her know you will have "visitors." most of them will be ok and will lay out the rules (like no **** girls) , but you have to make sure they are ok before committing. it is also a good idea to stay a few nights to see how the place works out for you and then extend your stay.
enjoy your trip.

HotzoIn my experience most, though not all, will allow female guests. It's best to ask before you commit. It shouldn't be a problem if you are thinking of 'entertaining' just one
Chica. The problem could arise if you wish to have a succession of them! They will almost certainly be required to register, especially if staying overnight.
On the occasions I have been to Baracoa, even with regular girlfriends, most of the casa's I tried to book in with were not keen at all to allow entertaining of chicas! I found it best to concentrate on Santiago de Cuba or Holguin, when I was at that end of the island, which had no such problems!
Expect to waste a lot of time if using public transport. If you feel confident, and can speak some Spanish, my advice would be to rent a car. You will also find having a car will immeasurably increase your chances of a casual pick-up when travelling as there will be lot girls hitching en-route between towns.
Good luck!
Bonker.
Hi folks,
There is a good web page which guides you through some casas particulares:
http://www.alojamientosencuba.com/plano-habana.htm
This map allows to find.
- BLUE: Rooms located within the family's apartment (I guess they are mainly not chica friendly. Read the description of the casa as some of them will do)
- RED: Completely independent apartments (either separate entry to a private room or a whole separate apartment. Select one and look for "se admiten acompañantes cubanos / as" within the description)
- GREEN: Mixed, which could be separate room plus also rooms within the family's home or similar (look at the description if guests are allowed).
Anyway, when booking always ask explicitely if guests are allowed, even though it's stated on the web site.
Print the reservation and take it with you when arriving at the casa of your choice, it is easier to discuss with the owner regarding guests. If required at all. When it is written on the casa confirmation.
There are also casas listed outside of Havanna.
If anybody is in Cuba during May, let's meet for a drink.
Enjoy your trip (I will do also) ,

I can not show the front because her family is very high in the food chain. The pick is BacksideBestAss. She is the best piece of ass I have had in Cuba.
Enjoy gents. Guys, please do not go APE SHIT ON ME. I am just keeping it real and letting you gusy know my expenrieces in Cuba. I have also have pay 20 CUC for girls in the campos of Cuba.
When I session a girl, I want the whole fantasy. If they can not give it to me I DO NOT TAKE HER. I AM VERY UPFRONT WITH WHAT I WANT. IN RETURN I MAKE THEIR LIVES WITH ME A GREAT EXPERIENCE.El Cubanito,
Any possibility of telling me what city or town the girl in the first picture is from (the one reflected in the mirror) and what her name is.
She's a stunner!

Thought I would take a trip to Cuba to see a different world.
I am staying at the Iberostar Parque Central in Havana for 3 days and then Playa Real in Varadero for 5 days. Will I be able to meet and take girls back to hotels. Seems to be lots of conflicting reports about what I can and can't do so thought it best to ask the experts!

Looking for recommendations via PM if discretion is best:
- Casa's
- Clubs with less hardened girls.
- Day spots with girls.
- Edible food.
- Good internet access (like at a doctors house)
- Driver.
- Town near by to get away from the industrious feel of Habana

Cheers,
SteveNope. It is very unlikely that you can take girls back to these hotels. You may have to pay for extra occupancy which may be higher than what you paid for your room when you booked through your travel agency.
Your best bet is to rent a casa particular. Most of them are between 20-30cuc and chica friendly. Look for the blue anchor sign.
October will be my first trip to Cuba in over five years and I've lost all my previous contact info.
I'm looking for a casa in Havana (preferably central) and another in Holguin. It goes without saying that these casas should accept chicas.
I do realize that Holguin is a different scene and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When are you arriving. I am renting a house / mansion in Miramar. Has 6 rooms, and the house is completely private. Hence, no issues with bringing girls. You are welcome to rent a room from me (smile).

I want to go on a trip of self discovery and adventure aka starting to have sex with gurlz and I'm thinking havana would be a good destination since its relatively safe, innexpensive and close by (I live in canada=)
My question is this
Is it possible to find younger girls that are not really pros more like school girls that want to make some extra cash.
Ohh and by school girls I'm mean like 17 18 year olds (I'm 19 myself)
Any advice guiding me on the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Ohh and I don't speak spanish.
I would really appreciate to get info of chica friendly casas in Havanna. I speak moderately good spanish. Is there any unofficial brothels or if I meet a chica somewhere to go to her place instead of mine if my casa is not chica friendly, as I understood most arent?
I am not going to Cuba just for chicas, but it is high on the agenda. Looking forward to my travel.
Can anyone recommend a few good restaurants in Havana please?
I really like the buffet at Hotel Nacional, very good quality and super fresh.
I'm looking for any type of restaurant that is clean and has good food, preferably no tourist traps.
Thanks in advance.
Here are a few restaurants that are pretty good and resonably priced.
1) Castropol. Same street on the Malecon between old Havana and the hotel National. I had the fish baked in salt, very delicious.
2) Bom Apetite. Italian restaurant. I had the pasta with alfredo sauce. Better than most places back home because their alfredo sauce is not the thick stay at the bottom of your stomach kind of sauce.
3) La Rosa Negra. Very cheap restaurant. I believe the most expensive dish was $6. 00 cuc. I had the fish but the highlight of the night was the dessert. I believe it was called Alicia. It was a fruity dessert but after eating one, I was craving it the rest of my stay in Cuba.
Castropol and Bom apetite I tried two years ago. La Rosa Negra, by the way it's located in the Nuevo Vedado section of Havana, I tried it earlier this month.
Hope this helps,

Thanks in advance.My best luck with food in Cuba has always been eating at the casa particulars. You don't necessarily have to be staying at the place, just ask the owner. Don't confuse this with restaurantes particulares.
Have a fun trip.
Do you have any contacts of the first girl or second, she got a really nice one ass-
If not posible, any suggestions I should look for girls when I will be in havana? (this weekend)
Thanks
Here are some pic of 40 CUC girls. BTW, I also include a pic of the most expensive girl I have ever had in Cuba. I pay 100 CUC for this girl, but she was woth every little penny. I can not show the front because her family is very high in the food chain. The pick is BacksideBestAss. She is the best piece of ass I have had in Cuba.
Enjoy gents. Guys, please do not go APE SHIT ON ME. I am just keeping it real and letting you gusy know my expenrieces in Cuba. I have also have pay 20 CUC for girls in the campos of Cuba.
When I session a girl, I want the whole fantasy. If they can not give it to me I DO NOT TAKE HER. I AM VERY UPFRONT WITH WHAT I WANT. IN RETURN I MAKE THEIR LIVES WITH ME A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

Hi fellas,
I have a basic question. I tried to search threads from last 1 year and could not find an answer.
I live in USA and want to visit Cuba. We all know the travel restrictions. I do not understand how others manage to travel without having any problems. I heard somewhere that cubans don't stamp the passport. I am not sure if this is 100% true. What are the risks of traveling to Cuba with all the US restrictions? How do people manage to get away from this?
Do I have to travel from mexico?

I really appreciate your answer.No the Cubans don't stamp your passport. You can go through Mexico as well as through any country in the World that has flights to Cuba. Though it's obviously more convenient from elsewhere in the Caribbean or Central or S. America or even Canada).
There is very little risk. Thousands of Americans do it every year and have been for many years. The only likely way to get in trouble is to be very non-discreet that you are travelling to Cuba. If you tell the Border Agents that you are going or have gone to Cuba and that you are protesting the travel ban, then you will get fined. Outside of that, the US Government really doesn't want to bother.

There's a travel agency in Canada that specializes in trips to Cuba for Americans. It's called Nash Travel. Just add a dot com at the end of the name and check it out.

Then why you fly into Mexico again upon returning from Cuba you will get a second stamp. How do you explain that to US Border Control agents if they ask? At least with Costa Rica you can say that you took a drive to Panama or something.
Thanks!
I have used Nash Travel and found the service to be terrible. They will email you the electronic ticket but then you have to wait for the Tourist visa to be mailed to your home address. I waited approx 3 weeks before the Visa arrived at my house. Total cost for a round trip ticket from Cancun to Havana was $450. Its the cost of these damn gateway tickets which makes Cuba a very expensive destination.
The best way is to buy tickets at the Cubana window at your gateway countrys airport.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your reports about Cuba and value your information but it seems that some very basic and very important questions have come to your attention and yet have been disregarded. There have been specific questions regarding the legality of passport stamps in and out of Cuba as far as being an American Citizen. You're recent post's, in my eyes, do not answer the questions being asked. They in fact, divert the question. So, without any sarcasm, can you / anyone describe how to bypass the USA Customs with "two" entry stamps to Mexico when you're going through say Miami. Oh, and I have RTFF.

Not that you have to mention it. You will be asked what countries you visited on your trip. Answer Mexico (for example ). In my experience they never look at the stamps closely. I had a page with two Mexican stamps on the same page and the guy looked at it and didn't ask me anything.
Now in case if they do. You don't know why! Tell them you went to Mexico and that's all you remember. In fact you don't have to even talk to them in the first place!
You can also put Cuba as a country visited, I don't think current administration care about it anymore. Not one person was prosecuted for it as far as I know. ACLU is waiting for feds to try to prosecute someone for traveling to Cuba so they can rip them apart and change the law, maybe you can be that person to help them.

I'm planning a fun-based trip sometime over the next few months. Work depending it could be in 2 weeks, could be Christmas. Either way, I'm thinking Cuba is the best possibility as I'm a canuck and we have good deals to get in there. I'd need a casa to be sure.
However I'm looking for something specific. I got the cash to burn to get what I want, and what I want is anal sex. What is the availability in Cuba? Is it like the more-expensive Brazil?
So, how is Cuba for an anal monger like myself?

Well I'm planning on going on a mongering rampage. Depending on work it could be two weeks, or it could be Christmas. Either way I'm thinking Cuba is the best possibility because I'm a Canuck and it's cheap / easy to access. Obviously I'll need a girl-friendly casa.
More importantly are the services I want. I am an anal fiend, and the anal mongers thread is mostly just reportbacks. Are Cuban chicas, especially the white / lighter-skinned ones, open to taking it in the culo? If so how much am I looking at?

Oh, and I have RTFF.I went to Cuba when it was not opened up to Americans like now, about 10 years ago. If you go legally through the authorised agencies now, you do not have to worry about any stamps.
When I went, I went through Mexico. A Mexican travel agent arranged the package deal that included the cuban visa and health insurance. I cannot recall if the MX agent stamped my passport in Tijuana. The plane went from Tijuana to Cancun MX. Then it was an international flight to Cuba, Havana. On arrival in Cuba, the immigration did NOT stamp my passport.
Neither was it stamped on Departure from from Cuba. Cannot recall if my passport was stamped on arrival in Mexico. I do not thing so. They just looked at it and that's that. Same on arrival in Tijuana. No one touched my passport. Crossing the border into USA from Tijuana, I just used my CA driver's licence. No problems. Nowadays, I use my passport for crossing back into USA from MX and they never look deep into passport even though I have travelled to a lot of countries. There is nothing to worry about.

There is nothing to worry about.This is all very absurd is it not? A "free" country disallowing its "free" citizens to freely travel. Look, what do we know? 1. Cuba does not stamp the passport of an American citizen (nor others too, but it is the "free" American we are speaking of yes?) .2. The in-transit stamp one receives from Nassau or Mexico, or DR or any other nation begs the question upon re-entry into the USA, to wit, where the fuck were you. I'll digress on this point for a moment. On my first trip to Cuba with a friend of mine (his first trip too) upon re-entry he lied, said he was in the hills of Nassau, he did not realize he had an in-transit stamp from Nassau. The agent laughed and said "you were in Cuba right?" My friend admitted it and all was good and happy thereafter. I had a license to travel so all was good with me. This was the era of the paper license that was required for all legal travel to Cuba. Much has changed since.
Today, there are two forms of travel licenses, one is a specific license akin to the old rule wherein you actually obtain a paper license to travel. The other is a general license wherein you essentially self-certify that your travel is legal (e. g., you have family residing in Cuba, as do I). My experience, the agents have no idea what current law is. Their general impression is that all travel to Cuba, absent a specific license is illegal. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
I have read the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to these folks and although frustrated, they admitted I was correct.
Many Americans travel legally and "illegally" daily. So long as you do not engage in any business or investment in Cuba, and so long as you keep the rum and cigars in Cuba, there is no issue in telling the border agents that you were indeed in Cuba. Upon my understanding, the USA Govt. Has never fined a USA Citizen for mere travel to Cuba. There is always something more to the travel that draws legal action (e. g., attorney in Southern District of NY traveled with American client with the intention of investing in hotels in Cuba, criminally charged).
The restriction on travel to Cuba, however is not a technical travel restriction, it is the restriction on the expenditure of American currency in Cuba (that is why Cuba travel is covered under the U.S. Treasury Dept.), nothing more, nothing less. Hence, if your travels to Cuba were sponsored by Cuba, or a Canadian friend, then your travels are technically legal. But as I said before, this is all politics and smoke screens designed to convince the American traveler that he is indeed not free. You are free! I repeat you are FREE FREE FREE. Wake the fuck up damn it.
In any case, upon your entry, just say you have a child in Cuba, the burden is not on you to prove that, and I am certain Fidel is not going to share Cuban birth records with the State Department.

Hi everyone,
I am in the process of planning a trip to La Havana that would take place somewhere in June. (By the way, this would be my third time in Cuba and I have no problems speaking spanish. Also I'm in my late twenties)
Anyone has plans to be there during that period? It would be great to meet someone while there and hang out for a while.
P. S. The reason for my plans' vagueness comes from the fact that I still have to figure out a couple of details at work. Let's just say that, generally speaking, my schedule is quite flexible and open.

The non pro action is almost non existent on SXM. However, it is loaded with Colombianas, DR girls and few high priced Europeans in the strip clubs.Good to know. I've noticed that there are relatively cheap and direct flights from Paris. I've also browsed the SXM-related thread and was a bit put off when someone mentioned (was it you?) an unspecified number of ships docking there and consequently somewhat tainting the 'pool' of girls. Also, what I like about Cuba is the non-pro (to some extent) vibe that you can get even in the most extreme cases. I mean, everybody knows that you can find only pros at Salon Rojo but, even there, you approach the girls in a bar and not a strip joint. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, personally, I prefer to keep some appearances up.
But then again some other member mentioned several times that he had a GFE experience when he took the girls for 24 hours so: is it better to find a pro who gives you a pro-like attitude and services in a non-pro setting or a girl with limited experience that lets her hair down who you happened to pick up in a strip club? Obviously the latter. Let's just say my experience in Cuba has alllowed me to avoid quite easily the former!
I guess in the end that it's the closest you can come to having Colombian chicks in a paradise setting without all the hassle and concerns (and sometimes the benefits) of Colombia itself.
In any case, thanks a lot Vitrea for making this spot known to me and other fellow Cuba-addicted members. Cheers!
P. S. I might PM you at a later time to get some first-hand tips.
Decided to head towards Cuba again for some weeks. Looking for casa particulares with independent entry / total privacy, any tips (not only Havana)?
Will compile a list and send by PM.

A few things I think. One, just because there are practically no reports here does not mean there is no action. I have read reports elsewhere of random travellers who said that Moa was filled with foreign men working for that Canadian company, Sherritt. Given that most of the employees are men, and their families are not in Cuba, by default there has to be a way for them to release some steam.
There are plenty of tips here on how to hook up with Cubanas in small towns, it is a different set of challenges compared to Havana / Santiago so take some time to read up. Actually, you don't. I just looked up your posting experience and you have plenty in Cuba. If all fails, Baracoa is just down the road. Good luck!

Thanks for your help in advanceHey man, you have come to the right place. Just read as much of this forum as you can, makes lots of mental notes and have fun in Cuba. Yes, everything is possible even if you don't know Spanish.
You will meet a beautiful Guajira, full of innocence and passion. She will make love to you all night in her simple bohio (mud hut) , and you will fall asleep in her arms with the words to the song "Guantanamera" running through your mind. You will awaken to the sounds of your Guajira singing Buena Vista Social Club songs and the smell of fresh brewed cafe con leche. She will then make passionate love to you again, leaving you thinking that you must be the luckiest man in the world. That is the experience of 99% of us who go to Cuba. I hope yours is the same, just be sure to come back and tell us.
Canadian, so I have no visa issues. I speak fluent Spanish. I've mongered in various areas. I am also not an older monger (I look like I am in mid-20s) and so would not even look suspicious for me to be seen with an 18 year old Cubana, especially with my fluency. It seems from my extensive research that Cuba is very much a "tout" scene. I. E, you must be able to work outside of the clubs for value. This to me seems similar to other places I've been, where chicas in the clubs have horrible attitudes and want ridiculous amounts of money and where they are constantly trying to suck your money out of you by bringing you overpriced drinks.
That being said, should I stick to Havana for my first time or am I better off in some less touristy area?
Is it safe in non-touristy areas? I've been mugged before in an alley in Latin America so I am very wary of going places without police presence. But, where there is police presence in Cuba means no chicas.
I am definitely not going to stay in a hotel unless I do an all-inclusive. Either way I'll rent a casa for on the side action. Might actually be best for me to have a hotel + casa for secuity. If I am staying in a casa though 24/7. Is there any worry that the household will rob me?
Also, best beach towns for mongering in Cuba?

This robbery thing caught me by surprise last visit. I took a girl back to Casa in Havana and the Casa owners told me straight out to watch her at all times in case she took something. Luckily was staying at a resort and using the Casa as an overnight visit, so I didn't bring all my stuff. But she did take some of my things without asking, luckily they were small inexpensive items. But if I had valuables there I have no doubt she would have taken them. So basically watch your stuff and the stuff of the Casa owners because you will have to replace anything stolen.

Canadian, so I have no visa issues. I speak fluent Spanish. I've mongered in various areas. I am also not an older monger (I look like I am in mid-20s) and so would not even look suspicious for me to be seen with an 18 year old Cubana, especially with my fluency. It seems from my extensive research that Cuba is very much a "tout" scene. I. E, you must be able to work outside of the clubs for value. This to me seems similar to other places I've been, where chicas in the clubs have horrible attitudes and want ridiculous amounts of money and where they are constantly trying to suck your money out of you by bringing you overpriced drinks.
That being said, should I stick to Havana for my first time or am I better off in some less touristy area?
Is it safe in non-touristy areas? I've been mugged before in an alley in Latin America so I am very wary of going places without police presence. But, where there is police presence in Cuba means no chicas.
I am definitely not going to stay in a hotel unless I do an all-inclusive. Either way I'll rent a casa for on the side action. Might actually be best for me to have a hotel + casa for secuity. If I am staying in a casa though 24/7. Is there any worry that the household will rob me?
Also, best beach towns for mongering in Cuba?Once a chica asked me to get her a kleenex, I did and wasn't thinking but that left her 12 seconds in the bedroom by herself, which she snagged my camera out of a nightstand drawer. It took me all but a minute to realize once she was gone that I had no camera, I wanted to look at my pictures from the day. So I got dressed again and ran over to the area I was walking where I conveniently met this chick and found the guy I believed to be her pimp. I started bitching him out saying his puta was a thief. 2 cucs and 5 minutes later I had my camera back. After multiple monger trips per year, living in a mongering destination, and many other chicas, this is still my "worst story". Cuba is safe, I always stay in a casa and I recommend you do too.

Also, best beach towns for mongering in Cuba?Well "ridiculous price" is a matter of perspective. I've been able to consistently pull girls in Havana clubs for CUC 60, so yes it's a bit higher than elsewhere, but the choice and quality make it worth it. And I've never been dinged by an expensive drink scam. All girls in the clubs are freelancers and don't work for the club.
If you speak spanish fluently, then go beyond Havana. Havana is the closest thing to point and click in Cuba, but there are also great opportunities in other cities. Approach, approach, approach.
Cuba is generally safe, but petty theft is typical. Don't carry too much money, get a locking suitcase, keep valuables out of sight.
I'd actually suggest Havana for a "beach town". The local tourist bus from Hotel Inglaterra goes to Tropicoco beach very regularly, and it's only 20 minutes away from Havana Centro.

I went one place where the girl asked me to buy her a whisky so I said okay. Anyway, they end up giving her a "double whisky" in one glass and explain to me that it is double price because of that. I've never been to Cuba so I don't know what the situation is. It got to a point where I wouldn't buy drinks and then they started to tell me "you must buy drinks here" which is BS. Needless to say the whole club set up pisses me off and I try to avoid chica-bars as they usually have aggressive waiters / waitresses.
Basically the club set up is designed to fleece you out of money with all sorts of up-charges. The mark up is ridiculous and I leave clubs as a last resort if I am horny at nighttime.
With regards to beach towns, I'm ideally looking for beaches where I can go and meet Cubanas at the beach or be close to the beach and the action. I don't have high expectations though as there is probably a huge police presence at all nice beaches.
Are small cities terrible for meeting chicas or are they an advantage? I'd like to hear a breakdown from someone with experience on that issue.
After a few visits I think its time to give the newbies some advise. The cops are serious and don't play, so be on your best behavior. Cuba is very safe.
I exchanged 100usd for 88cuc. My Canadian dollar got. 93cuc. I would not advise a newbie to use the black market, to much can go wrong. Fake bills, ripoffs etc. Go into a place (hotel, bank) that has video of your purchase and take the hit. Nothing worse than having to explain to the police that you got bills off the black market that are fake. I felt like I had been robbed everytime I exchanged money in my hotel, but once I got outside and saw the pretty chicas all was forgotten. Also know the money. One girl tried to slip me a 50 of the national money instead of 50CUC when exchanging in the hotel. Always ask the hotel for a receipt when exchanging money to keep them honest. Some restaurants add a 10% tax, some don't check your receipts.
The airport has terminal one (American, Camyan, etc) , and terminal 2 (Habana, Copa) so make sure your taxi drops you off at the correct one. There is no shuttle and its a long walk, it cost me 5cuc when my taxi dropped me off at the wrong terminal.
Take the big packs of chewing gum, lotion, body wash and candy and the girls will love you. There is a photo place a block from the Iglatera hotel walking toward the Malecon. I go there and make digital photos (.25cuc) of pictures I have taken of the girls hanging out with me and leave them as a departing gift. The girls love this. I don't take nudes, don't need the problems with doing this.
The Malecon, calle23, Casa de musica and every side street have working girls. The t-3 bus in front of Iglatera hotel goes to Santa maria beach every 20 minutes. It costs 5cuc and is a great trip. The topless bus is 5cuc and worth the trip.
As a US citizen I have been concerned about traveling to Cuba. I have read in this forum and other sources on the net when you land in Cuba they do not stamp your passport which is a good. However, if you go via Mexico then you might get a Mexican entry stamp twice, first one when you arrive there from US and the second one when you arrive from Cuba on the way back. So a smart ass officer in the US border could ask how could this happen and suspect. When they suspect, then who knows where it will end.
So, here is some thought to be safe, veterans forum members can chime in and let us know whether this will work. I assume you can goto Mexico by road. If not, then it will not work.
Take passport and Passport card.
Go to Tijuana via road and show the passport card to the Mexican border officer. He will not even know you have a passport, so no chance of getting stamped on it.
Take flight, Tijuana-Cancun-Havana and back. As hoped, the Cubans will not stamp the passport.
If they do, then shread your passport into pieces in Tijuana and dispose it.
Cross the border using your Passport card and then apply for a new passport saying it is lost.

Just looking at the facts, no has been prosecuted for going to Cuba and thousands of Americans visit Cuba "illegally" every year! American celebrities go all the time and no one is in jail or even fined.
Second, contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal to go to Cuba. It is illegal to spend money there. It a treasury department issue and not really a CBP issue. The only CBP issue is your lie in the statement that says, what other countries have you visited you do not mention Cuba. That is the only thing they can harass you for. If you can have a good story of how some foreign citizen sponsored you, you are golden.
Third, you have a point and it might be obvious that there are two Mexican stamps but only if these are the only two stamps in your passport. If that is the case, you entering Tijuana by road makes logical sense. BTW, no one will ask you for a passport card or passport when you are entering Mexico by road from Tijuana.
Last and an almost full proof suggestion and this applies only if you are flying from Mexico back to USA, is to spend $100 and get a Global entry card. No CBP officer will even look at the stamps in your passport.

You can simply rely on your right to remain silent. I've never been to Cuba, but after reading a lot on the Internet one time, I decided to refuse to answer that question on my customs form returning from Mexico just to see what would happen. I had time to kill at the airport because my ride that was coming to pick me up was going to get there a few hours after my touchdown.
According to what I had read on the Internet, that particularly question on the customs form about what countries you have visited is there specifically to elicit travel to Cuba answers. Also, I read that their usual procedure upon someone's refusal to answer this question is to pull you aside for "secondary screening" in which they thoroughly search your belongings looking for receipts and any evidence that you might have spent money in Cuba. In my case, the customs folks didn't even realize that I hadn't answered the question and told me I was ok to go on. So, I specifically pointed out to the customs agent that I had not answered the question on the form and asked if that would pose a problem. My customs agent flat out didn't care about that question on the form and just told me to move on. I wanted to see if they would rifle through my belongings looking for evidence of travel to Cuba, but they flat out didn't care.
I suspect that the customs agents would have reacted differently if I had been entering the US through Miami.
By the way, this all happened in my much younger, stupider days.

Though IMO you're worrying too much, which is understandable. From what I understand, the Border Control agents don't give a shit.

Did you see how quickly they got the Beyonce and Jay-z visit off the news? They don't want this public news. At first the Republican south florida politicians raised hell then they quieted down. Also 90% of the country knows this is BS, its just about Fidel. I think Obama is waiting till his last year in office to make historic changes regarding Cuba. Its strategic because the Republicans don't want this issue in an election year. Raul has already stated he will step down in 2015 and there has been some loosening in the last couple years. Once the American dollars start flowing in, the Cuba we know now will be gone forever.

You can't use a US-based CC to book your flights. There are Canadian travel agents as well as TAs from other countries that can do it for you (for a fee of course). I've heard good things about Cuba-Junky. I think they are based in Europe, but it really doesn't matter as it appears you can reserve your flights on-line.

Service with a smile.I have use Holiday Market Travel in the past and I have had any problems or issues using them. A couple of years ago I miss my flight from Varadero to Toronto and it was after hours and I left a voice mail that I was out of funds and Sunwings wanted me to pay for a full fare. They got to me at airport and spoke to a Sunwings manager and were able to resolve the issues. The reason I miss my return was due to my car rental that broke down between the back roads of San Jose de las Lajas and Varadero. I was very, very impress by there service.
I tried Holiday Market Travel and all is well, I can recommend it.

i have traveled to cuba twice and both from tijuana. read my previous reports and i have explained in details how i did it and what nots. in short, it's quite easy and not as risky as it sounds. best of luck!i remember reading a report on traveling from tijuana, thanks. i did similar.
redwood city. san diego. tijuana. mexico city. cancun. havana. santa clara.
i did this because i thought if i fly sfo-cancun then the mexican guys would put a stamp in the passport. now, i don't care, i will simply do that.
the only problem is the flight cost. i can get sfo-manila. 13hr non-stop for $780 tax in, i can go from work to home, take shower and hop on the plane, drink and sleep and i will land there. i can bang every day two cuties, and when i am bored of banging, i can get my mind of the tight asian cookie crack with doing some work via high-speed wifi making my employer think i am working from home.
i would not do that if i could fly into cuba hassle free, at reasonable cost. for the price our canadian bros are getting, i will probably there every month.
i've done that tijuana-mex-hav flight before. i don't remember enjoying it. first, rodruquez airport is a shithole. then the flight leaves at 1:30am and arrives in mex at about 8-9am. i had to pay some weird transit tax because my flight started in mexico, and the place you pay tax wasn't easy to find, and because the flight i arrived on was domestic, and the flight i was departing on was international, i had to collect my luggage. then i had to find my gate in that massive airport, and somewhere in the afternoon, my flight to havana left. made for an exhausting trip. i think that was during the mexicana days. hope it's easier now.
internet is still pretty slow in cuba. not sure what the hold up is.

I took Virgin for SFO-SAN for $150, Aeromexico from TIJ-Cancun for $280 and Cubana from Cancun-Cuba for $350, so the total flight costs was around $800.
Next time, I will probably go SFO-Vancouver-Cuba or SFO-Panama-Cuba. The cost would probably same and I could by-pass the crazy mexican customs who held me for hours as I had no-name cigars.
What is the nearest hotel near the airport? I'm planning to visit on October.
What is the nearest hotel near the airport? I'm planning to visit on October.I am not sure which airport you are referring to. In my case, I took a taxi from Tijuana border to the airport for around 15bucks, and did not stay there. There are so many cheap options in the Zona there from 15-40bucks (I have stayed in Hotel Cascada, above HK Club). The disadvantage is that it is not close to airport, but right in the middle of action, which is probably useless as you are heading to Cuba. It would however remind you the difference,
20bucks-no sin ropa-one position-20minutes-quick fuck-and possibly getting frisked by police and mugged by gangs.
Vs
40bucks-sin ropa-all night-all positions you can imagine-long fucks-all you can eat-protected by the system.
Sure, you can get an all nighter in TIJ, but you are looking at big bucks.
I was only connecting via Mexico city & Cancun, so no need of hotels there as well.
Ok, I bashed TIJ a bit here, but the option of waking up in the morning and getting down to the street with a hard dick and pulling a chica up at will within a minute for a 10bucks BJ is something every monger should try atleast once. I have done that multiple times in Zona Norte, Tijuana and in the Sois of Bangkok. Is there any place like this any where else, let me know, I would love to go there.

Anyone knows if I can bring girls with no problem back to las Terranzas in Santa Maria beach in Havana?
Or I am better off staying at Tropicoco and paying off the guard $20 each time I bring a girl?
Let me know, I am going on November 4th.

ThanksYes you can bring girls back to Las Terrazas, I've done it before. If you are staying alone you are allowed to have 1 guest per day sign in with you free of charge. If you and a friend are sharing a room then both of you can each sign in someone.
If the girls don't want to sign in then for sure they're professionals and their names are on the "watch" list. However, the way Las Terrazas is set up it's quite easy to just walk in with the girl because you don't have to walk through the lobby to get to your room. All the rooms are accessible from the outside entrances / stairways.
I'm assuming you've never stayed there before, so I got to tell you. Don't expect much. I know the place is super cheap, but you always get what you pay for. In other words, if it was located in North America or Europe you would consider it a dump.
When I'm in that area I usually stay at Tropicoco or Atlantico and my friends and I rent apartments at Las Terrazas to do our dirty deeds. This way when we're done we can just walk back to our hotels and avoid having to find a taxi at 4 or 5am. It also comes in quite handy if you pick up during the daytime. I absolutely LOVE daytime fucking! LOL.

I'd rather prefer the one 40-bucks, where exactly in Zona? Actually accessibility is my first option even though it is quite far from Airport. Safety and comfort is my first choice.

I was comparing a 20dollar Tijuana quick fuck with a 40dollar all nigher in Cuba.
Yes you can bring girls back to Las Terrazas, I've done it before. LOL.Exactly, the hotel is ok. For $25, I did not expect anything nice. All I wanted was a good bed with clean linens. The bed was soft, found it difficult for missionary, even when the chica rode me, it was the same as the bed was bouncing. So had to ask the chica to bend down, and she can only take it for about 10minutes in that position. Then the light bulb went in the head, took the mattress out of the bed and threw it on the floor, it was not bad then.
There is no single entrance with security in this place. It is more like an apartment complex. So as mentioned earlier, it is easy to sneak the chica in. I had my chica come in late in the night, so there was no problem at all. Next day, the cleaning crew might have tipped the front desk, so they sent a guy asking me about the chica. I told him that she is a friend who had just come in. He would not buy it, so he took me to the front desk who demanded I pay $50. I was thinking they were joking, but they were serious. I said no problem, let me goto the room and get the money.
Returned to the room, first told the chica to go home right away almost pushed her out, then packed my bags and just walked out and got a taxi to my casa without checking out or seeing the front desk again.
So, if you are sneaking the girl in then you might want to hide her from others.

I've planned my first trip to Cuba (Jan. 22-25; 25th-feb. 4th in Cancun) and am waiting with building anticipation! Love me some big assed, passionate Cubanas! This site is a treasure trove of info for the noob international monger, I'm truly appreciative gentlemen. I'm fluent in Spanish, I've been reading up on this board and am lining up talent on badoo, cyber cupido & Facebook. Will give back to the board by posting report and any useful info for your use. I've got some questions:
Flying to Havana from Cancun and I'm wondering if I should purchase the ticket when I land in Cancun or should I go thru a Canadian travel agent? I'm wondering if the price of the flight will be higher once I'm in Cancun or if it will be the same if I had bought ahead of time thru the Canadian travel agent.
If I do go ahead and buy the flight to habana when I land in Cancun would it be too much of a hassle to get the visa & health insurance before flying out? I'm leaning to the easiest & smoothest method w / o any hassle from unca' Sam.
Thanks again,

:
Flying to Havana from CancunYou can certainly buy the tickets from Cancun, they would be cheaper as compared to buying from a Canadian travel agency. The concern more than price is whether there will be seats. Keep in mind the flights from Cancun are not big planes, so if there is an event then the flight can get sold out. When I took the plane, there were only two other tourists, the rest of the plane was sold out to the Cuban under 16 baseball team. So you might want to call the travel agencies in Cancun, and book your ticket from them and send them money by western union.
The visa is sold by the airline you are going to take, so no worries on that.
The health insurance is a funny thing. No one ever asked me whether I had bought health insurance the first time I went. So the next times, I simply scanned and edited my insurance documents, put the dates of travel and printed and took it with me. No one asked me again.
If you do not have one and if immigration asks you, then you can always buy it from the asitur insurance which has a booth in havana airport, and when I asked the girl she said it is about 3 or 4 cuc a day, I do not remember exact amount but it was less than 5cuc a day.
So, upto you to decide whether you want to buy or not.

ShakeForMeBuy the flight to Havana in advance from the Canadian travel agency you have in mind. Jan- Feb is peak travel time so there is a very good chance of the flights selling out.
I am an American planning on visiting Cuba through Montreal.
So, I'll return to the states with two Canadian entry stamps!
This has been discussed before but please, can someone reiterate that I shouldn't worry about it / personal experience?
Thank you!

Thank you!When I went to Cuba, I went legally. There are several exceptions by which Americans can go legally, and I took advantage. But I had previously researched going illegally.
People generally advised flying from Cancun or Nassau, a more tourist trafficked airport. Also, my advice would be to look into Global Entry before you go. The danger is when you come back in, and as you stated, being pulled aside to explain two Canadian entry stamps. With Global Entry, no one leafs through your passport.
Also, to clarify, it is not illegal to GO to Cuba. It is illegal to spend money in Cuba or patronize any Cuba owned business. Its an economic sanction, not a travel restriction.
I'm sure I'm "over-fretting".
Surely I won't have any receipts or Cuban merch with me.

Does it pay to buy a Cuban SIM card?
I read on LP that it costs 30cuc to activate.
How long are they good for- I'm wondering if it'll still be good on future trips.
Are there other options? I'll be in Varadero then Havana, BTW.

Any idea how this would hypothetically affect one's ability to hypothetically sneak into Cuba if one were to hypothetically be an American?

My prediction, no impact if you are, as they say in Cuba,"American American" (I. E, American born).
Why? I have never traveled directly from the USA to CUba. Not because I am not permitted to do so, but because it is too expensive. I suspect that those needing the Cuban Interests Section in Washington DC are not "American American". They are, more likely, new immigrants from Cuba who either left legally or illegally and are seeking authorization to re-enter Cuba. They are also likely old Miami Cubans who were born in Cuba. As we all know, Cuba welcomes "American Americans" perhaps for the same reasons the USA welcomes those Cubans who risk their lives at sea to touch American soil and, ipso facto, gain immediate legal rights to reside within the USA. In short Political bullshit. Cuba does not want to punish the brave American that thumbs his or her nose up at the American so called travel restriction. In fact its a money restriction, not a travel restriction.
Your fine you American Bunny Rabbit.

I am not sure Global Entry is a good idea. With Global Entry your itinerary is tied to your passport. So, very likely they will know what countries you visited in your trip. I am a Global Entry / Sentri holder and I traveled to Cuba twice thru Mexico. One time when I was walking back to San Diego after coming back from Cuba the immigration officer asked me if I left Mexico during my trip, of course my answer was no, then he flat out asked me if I went to Cuba. I was shocked but kept it cool and said no. He just let me go but he could have sent me to secondary and the shit could have hit the fan. I have been told that the officers have been told not to give hard time to people that come back from Cuba, something like an internal memo. The Obama administration doesn't want to prosecute / fine people for visiting Cuba. The Bush era was completely different thou.
I think one way to avoid this dilemma is to fly to Havana from Panama or another country besides Mexico and Canada. I have read somewhere that Canada, US and Mexico share the flights manifest in one database. So it is easy access for government. Another way, which may not be as safe, is to divide your trip to two reservation so your entire travel is not under one booking reference number.
I can give you reference for what I wrote, except my personal experience. Do your own research and then decide.
Good luck and enjoy Cuba! A country well worth the visit, even with the travel hassle.

Stop being so paranoid. The US Govt. Could care less about your travels to Cuba. Do not bring back rum or cigars. I am in Cuba every month and every time I cross the border I tell them I was in Cuba. They ask if I have rum or cigars, I say no, and I am on my way. Really, do you think the "land of the free" wants a reputation of restricting travel for its citizens? Of course not. Bad policy bad publicity. They do not mind the perpetuation of the idea that it is illegal or that you will get into trouble, yea they like that. When I was a child, I was afraid of the monster under my bed too, but then I grew up.
The Cuban Assets Control Regulations of the USA Treasury Department require that persons subject to USA jurisdiction be licensed to engage in any transaction related to travel to, from and within Cuba.
Transactions related to tourist travel are not licensable. This restriction includes tourist travel to Cuba from or through a third country such as Mexico, Canada or any other country in the world.
The Regulation is not that the Americans or people with permanent residence in the USA cannot travel to Cuba, the regulation says that the USA residendts CANNOT SPEND MONEY IN CUBA. Imagine your jenitera paid for your travel flight, food, beer and rum in Cuba, you would be perfectly legal.

Kalifornication,
I am with you on this. It is nothing to be paranoid about. However, it is naive to think there is no risk involved. A friend of mine that traveled with me to Cuba in 2012 was given a lot of hard time at Otay border crossing. He denied going to Cuba but he was made to go back to Mexico and leave everything he brought from Cuba there. They didn't report him to OFAC but the experience wasn't pleasant. Specially for me who had to wait for him for an hour to get out of the building.
Cheers!

And I agree with you. But, that is an issue of ignorance. I can tell you that 80% of the time I re-enter every month the folks at the border have no idea what the law is. Remember, they are border patro, not OFAC. They know very little about the travel restrictions. For that matter. 99. 9 percent of Americans do not even know Cuba even exists. Have you ever gone into a travel agency in the USA and seen Cuba as a travel destination option? Out of sight, out of mind. Most of these folks at the border bring their own bias, their own prejudice and their own notions about Cuba. They have never been, so they think it a dreadful horrible place where Cubans are suffering daily, poor and hungry. If you have traveled the world, then you know Cuban poverty does not equate to Mexican, or Hatian or Dominican poverty. The inconvenience of their ignorance is just something we have to deal with at times. The worst they will do, if you have cigars and rum, is take it. In the past I used to argue with these folks, now I am just the most polite person when I tell them I was in Cuba. They like feeling powerful, respected and in control. They then send you on your way. As for being reported to OFAC, I have been reported, for an unjustifiable reason at that. So have friends of mine. Guess what happens? Nothing.

Can anyone give me the scoop on the health insurance requirement for entering Cuba? If I have to purchase it there, what is the cost?
Can anyone give me the scoop on the health insurance requirement for entering Cuba? If I have to purchase it there, what is the cost?If I remember correctly, it's no more than $10 per day. They got me for it in January. But I've heard of other people never being asked.
No big deal either way.

Good luck and enjoy Cuba! A country well worth the visit, even with the travel hassle.Zebel is absolutely correct about the manifest lists. Long before it was common knowledge all Canadian flights overflying the USA to Cuba had to call into the USA authorities the names of all passengers on board. I was told this about 10 years ago when my neighbour was piloting charters from Toronto and Vancouver to Varadero which was long before I ever read about it in msm [mainstream media]. I remember a story in the news at least 5 years ago about a man flying to Acupulco with his wife and kids for a holiday from Toronto with a Canuck passport but an iraqi or iranian spelled name. USA authorites had the mexicans arrest and imprison him in mex. It turned out he had a similar name to someone on the USA hot list.
Can anyone give me the scoop on the health insurance requirement for entering Cuba? If I have to purchase it there, what is the cost?I once bought from Cubatur in the airport, not because any one asked me, the chica selling it was very cute. It cost me around 30cuc for 10 days, and it covered around 7500cuc per day.
Can anyone give me the scoop on the health insurance requirement for entering Cuba? If I have to purchase it there, what is the cost?Correction from my previous response. Just found the document from my Jan trip. It ended up being about $27 USD for 9 days.

Hey guys,

Thanks,
GuyThere are only 4 resorts, Mayanabo, Caracol, Gran Club and Be Live / Brisas. And they are all side by side in a row on the same street, so no need for taxis.
I've stayed at Mayanabo, Caracol and Be Live aka Brisas. Out of the 3 I prefer Caracol because all the rooms are junior suites that each have a living room, refrigerator, balcony, separate bedroom and spacious bathroom.
The staff are all pretty nice and accommodating. Including the security (I know them well and sometimes I just order a chica from the security on the beach. I tell them what type of girl I like and they bring her to my hotel room. This special "room service" costs $20 for the girl and $20 for the security).
For me Caracol has the best location out of the 4 resorts. As you walk straight out from this resort there is an outdoor bar to your immediate right where everyone hangs out before the club opens. There are always chicas hanging around there. Also, to your immediate left is the club, Mar Verde. It's an open air joint with nightly shows and a small cover charge ranging between $1cuc-$3cuc. 80% of the girls in there are ready for the taking and it's a lot less hassle than in Havana. Not to mention a lot more cheaper.
I've picked up girls there for as little as Free ($0) to as much as $20cuc (average price there is $15). There is a daytime bar on the beach between Caracol and Gran Club, there is also a little shopping centre there and a pretty decent restaurant that serves delicious Pizza and Seafood dishes. Watch out for the bartenders at the beach bar though, I've seen them rob tourists blind! NEVER RUN A TAB! ALWAYS PAY AS U GO. U order a beer, pay right away. U buy a chica an ice cream, pay right away. If you don't they WILL rob you!
Anyway, you can always find chicas and some gay cubanos hanging out there (some tourists are gay and they want action too, especially the Europeans. LOL). My friends and I have picked up chicas many times from this spot. One time I picked up a chica who was there "working" with her female cousin and gay brother. I saw her and her cousin head towards the bathroom which is in another building, I followed them slowly and waited outside pretending like I wanted to use the facilities. When they came out I smiled and said "hola", they responded in kind, then I looked at the chica straight in her eyes, winked and motioned with my head for her to go in the bathroom with me. She looked a bit confused turned to her cousin, looked at me and I again motioned with my head towards the bathroom. She gave her cousin the key to the bathroom, looked around to make sure the coast was clear and in we went. Her cousin locked the door and stood guard. LOL.
Once we were in she went to kiss me, I turned away, took out my cock and said "Chupa". She instinctively stooped down and took my cock in her mouth bareback. She sucked, licked, kissed, fondled and tickled my cock and balls with all the expertise of a little 18 year old ****. She really worked my Pinga and her legs were starting to hurt because it was taking me long to cum (it's very difficult for me to cum from a BJ). By now she got up, pulled down her panties, bent over and told me to fuck her till I cum. I said no because I didn't have a condom and there's NO WAY IN HELL I'm FUCKING WITHOUT A CONDOM! So down she went again, I closed my eyes and started fantasizing while throat fucking her, that seemed to do the trick and 10 minutes later I popped my load in her mouth. She spat it out and continued licking and sucking till every drop of cum was out my balls and my cock was clean.
I pulled up my swimming trunks, gave her $5cuc, she smiled and said "gracias". I then left the bathroom first and walked to the bar. She followed from a different direction a few minutes later. The Hope this helps to answer your questions.

Guys,
What's the best area to stay in Havana? I did book a 5 star hotel near Parque Central, but all the pick ups clubs like La Cecilia, Salon Rojo 15-20 min drive away.
I am also not a big fan of private casas, I prefer to be in a hotel settlement, do you think I can find my way paying the security and have girls in?

I am also not a big fan of private casas, I prefer to be in a hotel settlement, do you think I can find my way paying the security and have girls in?La C is open only on weekends and is in Miramar. Some folks prefer to take a girl into a casa of her choice for a short time and pay the owners. This is the only way if she is banned from a particular hotel, unwilling to go there or there is other reason. Salon Rojo is closer to PC and 5 CUC taxi one way.
Yes, you will be able to bring girls in. Learn fast the chain of command there before the night out and be firm. Likely it will cost you 50 CUC per girl. Check her carnet yourself and tell her where she is going to after you make a deal with her. In my view the best area to stay in Havana for the purpose of the hobby is Vedado, followed by Miramar, then Old Havana but never Central Havana. Miramar to Cubanacan overall is the best area. Good luck.

Good luck.I respectfully disagree with some of this. In a 5 star hotel they will be very strict and cautious due to the upscale visitors. They don't want to be perceived as a place for this type of activity and risk problems from the establishment. I stayed in a 3 star hotel and they watched the visitors like hawks, if she didn't check in with you it wasn't going to happen, so I thought. Me and my girl would go to her casa particular around the corner after meeting at the hotels terrace out front (for two days). On the third day my girl went to use the restroom inside the terrace and one of the security guys told her for 25cuc she could visit me in my room for a couple hours but she couldn't spend the night. They approached us, if you approach them without first establishing some understanding (which could take a few days of them watching you) then you could be giving away your hand and be denied. Some of these guys won't risk their jobs for 25cuc and be reported to the government.
Miramar is a middle class neighborhood and if you don't speak Spanish can be intimidating. I left "dos Cardeneas" and the yellow tourist cabbies weren't there. So I took one of the local cabs with the old cars. He ran out of gas after five minutes so I got out and walked. I walked a mile and didn't see any cabs. So I'm in a strange place with no cabs and no people around, very scary shit. Luckily my ghetto spanish allowed me to ask questions when I saw people to eventually get back to centro Havana.
I'm guessing from the original posters post that he doesn't speak any any spanish and wants to frequent the normal "point and click" spots like "Solo dojo" and "la C". Centro Havana has freelancers and places to hangout. Even with basic spanish a guy can walk around Havana centro and pull IMO. Can't comment on the other places so you are probably correct Sir.
I asked security at Havana Libre, Melia Cohiba, Riviera, Nacional and Ambos Mundos, same everywhere, one is fifty, two is hundred etc. It has be done in confidence. As for jobs I don't know, I think actually they have to make money this way to keep their jobs. Don't worry, they will know absolutely everything why you were there and up to what and the girls are all known and report to police.

First let me just say I am impressed from the good info out of this thread with much less BS. Compared to other cuban threads.
Now, I'll just give you my experience with travel.
I have traveled to Cuba 4 times between 2010 and 2012. Once through cancan and the rest through Toronto.
Never had an incident even though one time I returned from Cuba to Toronto and flew the next morning. The Canadian immigration guy looked at my passport and just warned me that US citizens aren't allowed in Cuba. I told him I didn't know that and he told me ok, just be careful and sent me through.
I never worried about it, however, I once was picked up for random inspection, not from Canada but from Colombia.
I had all kinds of pharmacy meds including steroids, HGH, depo provera. Etc not only that but I had a couple of Xanax pills too.
Initially what freaked them out was the depo provera. They were really suspicious about a single guy with 3-4 viles of depo provera. They then took me inside for "further inspection" and questioning. They then discovered I was deployed to Iraq, I had a couple of SIM cards and they found a female underwater in my luggage. ALL FLAGS WENT UP. LOL oh, I look like a Saudi or Moroccon or puertorican depending on your travel and cultural experience or lack of! So you can imagine!
They took my laptop, phone, and SIM cards and shipped it to their nerd unit to further inspect it. I had some really naked photos of chicas that could under the wrong eyes be misinterpreted! I refused to give them my password and my laptop and other stuff was mailed back to me within two weeks. I was turned over to Houston police for the Xanax. The Feds had nothing!
Why am I sharing this with you guys! Cause, at the time, I felt powerless and I know many have had similar luck and feeling. But we don't have to feel hopeless by sharing, advising and learning from each other candidly without the bullshit!

Cuba announce it is facing a shortage with condoms. And now have to import the Chinese made condoms which have expired dates.
So bring condo.

If I can share any of my travels.
This was my 4th trip over 10 years and lots has changed. If this is your first time, you will find it difficult to figure out all the rules, taxes, insurance, street police, CDR, what to take with you, etc. [Email address deleted by Admin]. Glad to share what I know. PLUS I found a good local guide to supply me with girls at his place. Drop me a line.
