Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be WiFi or Internet Service?
WiFi is still not widely available in Cuba except on a pay as you go basis in government hotels and internet cafes. However, inexpensive SIM cards can now be purchased on arrival – our local team can help you buy these. It may be advisable to ensure your phone is ‘unlocked’ and/or has a VPN service to ensure continuity of services when in Cuba. The situation is constantly evolving and improving so there is no need to be ‘offline’ for extended periods – unless you would like to be!
What currency or money should I take to Cuba?
Following the abolition of the CUC (convertible peso) in 2021 the only official national currency now in circulation is the Cuban Peso (also known as ‘Moneda Nacional’). However, USD and EURO cash is widely accepted and easily converted into local currency. Bank cards drawn on US banks are still not accepted in Cuba so US residents should bring sufficient USD cash for all your spending requirements while in Cuba. For other visitors, to ensure maximum flexibility and to achieve the best rate of exchange, we also recommend you bring cash – ideally USD or EURO. Although ATM machines are widely available throughout Cuba the exchange rate is not so good – we will show you where/how to change money into local currency during your ‘welcome camino’ after you arrive to us. Only government owned business accept card payments.
How long has the tour company been trading?
Corazon Cuba have been running programs & tours since 2015 combining learning Spanish, ‘dance & discover’ cultural excursions and meaningful volunteering into 'student' programs for all ages as well as tours around the country - featuring our network of personally inspected Casa Particulares - to help you maximise your time in this amazing country. Cuba is a country like no other – gorgeous neo-classical buildings rubbing alongside primary coloured classic American cars, overlaid with exotic afro-Cuba music and some of the most exciting nightlife you will find anywhere. So… if you are interested in having a good time and learning more about Cuba please get in touch!
What documents will I receive before I travel?
Once you have confirmed your arrival & departure details (ideally dates, times & flight numbers to help us schedule your airport transfers) we will send you your booking confirmation as well as a link to our Field Manual which has practical information you may find useful to help you prepare for your trip. We are also on hand 24/7 for enquiries by email or whatsapp for any last minute questions etc
Am I contributing to any charity by booking the tour?
By visiting Cuba and spending locally you are making a huge contribution to the welfare of local people by creating meaningful employment. Corazon Cuba work alongside local community projects to enhance welfare, facilities and civic pride in Habana Vieja and Centro districts of La Habana - we also run a volunteer program and welcome donativo (donations) to support these endeavours.
What happens if I need to change my holiday date once I’ve booked?
Please let us know of any changes to your travel plans at your earliest convenience so we can reschedule accordingly. We do not require prepayment/deposit which gives you flexibility to change plans as required.
Do I need a visa?
You will need to get a visa (also known as Tourist Card) to enter Cuba. These are easy to buy online – we recommend the following service, see; https://www.easytouristcard.com?aff=43 The standard Tourist Card is valid for 30 days. However, this can be extended twice when you are in the country on payment of a small fee – our local team can help you. This means you can stay for up to 90 days maximum on a single visit. From 1 January 2025 the Tourist Card will be replaced by an eVisa which will be obtainable in the same way as above. A pink coloured ‘Tourist Card’ is required when flying to Cuba directly from the USA and a green coloured ‘Tourist Card’ is required to visit Cuba when flying from any country except the USA. For US citizens / guests travelling directly from the US to Cuba we recommend the following service, see; https://www.onlinetouristcard.com Our programs comply with ongoing US travel restrictions and are 100% legal for US and non US citizens alike. It is no longer necessary to apply to ‘OFAC’ for special permission to visit Cuba. When flying direct from the US to Cuba your airline will require you to sign and retain a one page ‘affidavit’. This document lists 12 permitted categories of travel to Cuba. Please simply tick the box marked ‘SUPPORT THE CUBAN PEOPLE’ as this is a travel category our programs comply with.
Will the accommodation included meet local health and safety regulations?
Despite being a materially poor country Cuba is well organised and there is a lot of civic pride which is one of the reasons Cuba is such an enjoyable destination for first time visitors. There are many rules and bylaws required to operate a tourism business such as our and we are 100% compliant with all relevant rules and bylaws.
