Overview
A lot of us have heard
that Cuba is one of the hot spots for sex travelers. This is so,
however Cuba has its ups and downs depending on the crackdowns it
endures every so often. What may true about the sex scene today,
can be different tomorrow. Its been a hit and miss lately. In the
early 90's it was said that you could get laid for an ice cube,
a hair brush, or a bottle of shampoo. Now a days the reality of
prices for sex can range from $15-45 and as much as $100, depending
on the quality of the girl, your looks, age and how well you can
speak Spanish.

Women
Cuban women love sex and they do not get offended by overtures
the way cold blooded American women do. The normal Cuban girl begins
her sexually active life by the time she's 12. A 16 year old
girl has reached her prime and anything over 20 is already over the
hill.
The typical Cuban girl with whom you might seek a relationship with
will in all likelihood will be highly educated, such as a lawyer,
doctor, optometrist.
The Cuban girls tend to have “dark” features. Their eyes are dark
with thick eyebrows and thick bushes between their legs. They aren't
into shaving. Cuban girls tend to be tall and slender. |
|
|
| |
Cost
The prices are between $15 and $40. The difference in price depends
on how well the girl likes you. In the Disco's the price ranges
from $35 to $70. The best Chica's want up to $100. It helps if you
have little gifts for her like shampoo, t-shirts, make-up, etc. |

What to Expect
(A Member Writes) "I made out with her, then I stripped
her down and licked her body like a dog. I licked her pussy and ass
for a while. I put my finger up her ass. I was as hard as a rock and
ready to fuck. I humped on her for a few minutes then exploded. She
wanted a condom, so I said..... how about just oral.. So we swapped
doing each other orally till she came.. Then I had her lick the end
of my cock while I masturbated and came on her tongue."
"Age
or looks are irrelevant here to the girls. Your heart (and sometimes
your pocket book) is what counts. I dated two 18 year olds and they
felt like real girlfriends (yes, I know this is fantasy island). Some
girls just want some chocolates from the dollar stores, some wanted
nada, some a friend in the U.S and some wanted $$ -- you'll will meet
them all. A good girl (even though she sleeps with you in two hours
of meeting you) will be insulted by money offers -- take her shopping
or buy her a real dinner or use your imagination. Sex is part of life
in Cuba, as we learn how to drive, the girls learn how to please --
they are all experts and sex is part of their daily routine."
|

|
| |
Legal
Prostitution is illegal but widespread. Customers are not prosecuted.
It is no problem for a 16 year old Cuban to fuck a 14 year
old girl. But it is a *BIG* problem for a tourist to fuck any girl
under 16. You can go to jail for this for up to 20 years.
Age of Consent
Age of consent is 18 years old. |

Weather
Worst Time To Go: September, October and November are the worst
months to travel, it's too wet then. January to March is warm and
rather dry, but occasionally the Nortes (cool North winds) spoil
the weather for some days. Cubanas don't go to the beaches a lot
at this time, too cold for them (not for us).
Best Time To Go: July and August are better because the weather
is as hot as the Chica's and the beach life is great. Also electricity
outages (apagones) are less frequent during holidays. Rain is normally
limited to some afternoon showers.) Cubans take their hols in July
and August, so this is when the local beaches are most crowded.
Christmas, Easter and the period around 26 July, when Cubans celebrate
the anniversary of the revolution, are also very busy. Havana is
always great though. Another advantage to going in June July and
August is it's low season and the island isn't overrun with sun
worshipping frost bitten Canadian and European Touristas

Events
The Havana Carnival in late February and early March features parades
in front of the Capitolio or along the Malecón on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday evenings. The Jornadas de la Cultura Camagneyana is scheduled
for the first two weeks of February, and the Havana International
Jazz Festival happens every second year in February. April sees
the Semana de la Cultura celebrated in Baracoa and the Electroacoustic
Music Festival in Varadeao. The first week of May has the Romería
de Mayo in Holguin, and at the end of June Trinidad hosts the Fiestas
Sanjuaneras. Carnival is celebrated in Santiago de Cuba during the
last two weeks of July and the first week of August to coincide
with the holidays around July 26. Carnival marks the end of the
sugar harvest and originated as a period in which the slaves were
allowed to celebrate. For those 10 days the drum is king. The Festival
of Caribbean Culture is celebrated in June or July, October has
the 10-day Havana Festival of Contemporary Music and the Semana
de la Cultura Trinitaria happens in Trinidad in late November. The
International Festival of Latin American Film is held in Havana
in December of each year

Getting There
Almost all visitors to Cuba arrive by air, with scheduled flights
arriving from Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South America,
and Europe. The main gateways for US travelers continue to be Cancun,
Nassau and Toronto. There are direct flights available from the
USA, but US citizens will need the permission of the US Treasury
Department, which restricts travel to Cuba to journalists, researchers
and a handful of other groups. There are no direct flights
between the United States and Cuba. Consequently, Americans have
to travel via a third country. Going through Canada or Mexico is
some options, Mexico being the cheapest way. Each of these
countries host several tour companies that cater to Americans wishing
to travel to Cuba.

U.S. Citizens traveling
to Cuba
Legal lowdown, plain and simple, traveling to Cuba is not against
the law. However, traveling to Cuba and spending money is, unless
you've got special travel status as a journalist, humanitarian worker,
or dignitary. Though most of Americans don't fit into those categories
and would want or need to spend a little money while on the road,
an adventure to Cuba isn't impossible.
Thousands of Americans travel to the tropical island every year
estimated 50,000 in 1999 alone. Due to the 1963 U.S. trade embargo
placed on our 90-mile-away neighbor, traveling to Cuba does require
a little extra preparation and planning especially since there are
no direct flights from the United States to Cuba.
Payment for airfare to Cuba and for Cuban accommodations
is made to a transit country " Canada " travel agency,
not a Cuban one, so main travel expenses remain kosher with U.S
Treasury regulations. Once you arrive in Cuba, any U.S. dollars
going directly into Cuban hands from taxi fares to drinks at the
bar do so against Foreign Asset Control rules. But these transactions
are made in cash, making such purchases difficult to trace.
OFAC reports only 16 prosecutions since 1983. furthermore, only
two of these prosecutions resulted from travel violations, and only
one from illegal dollars entering Cuba. U.S. customs officials who
discover an unlicensed traveler are lax to take action beyond confiscating
Cuban goods. Americans who take the back door into Cuba spend only
cash while there, which is easy since Cuba doesn't accept any Credit
Cards or traveler's checks drawn from U.S. banks. They practice
discretion before re-entering the
United States by removing Havana baggage tags and discarding boarding
passes. American travelers do not get Cuban stamps in their passports,
and they don't advertise their Cuba travels on customs forms. Most
importantly, they take the opportunity to step inside and experience
a vibrant country that supports one of the most free-spirited, friendly
and optimistic populations in the world.
Dexter Horn Inc. doesn't
encourage U.S. citizens to travel this way, we are just letting
you know the facts.

Getting Caught
If you get caught by immigration in the U.S. and or fined you may
want to contact the center for constitutional rights, in New York
at (212)-614-6464 or/and CCR@igcapc.org
they deal in this problem and is probably the place to contact.

Canada to Cuba
To enter Cuba you will need a Cuban tourist card issued by
your Tour operators or Air liners,
cost is $CAN 16. to $CAN 20. and a passport that has been valid
for a full six months prior to your travel.
There are no additional visa or passport requirements for Canada
or Mexico entering the United States from Canada or Mexico requires
only a copy of your birth certificate and a valid photo ID. Take
both, they'll come in handy if you accidentally get a Cuba stamp
in your passport. Since there is no U.S. Embassy in Cuba, we advise
taking two photocopies of your passport.
If you lose your passport while there, you can use the passport
photocopies to exit the country.
Customs & Bureaucracy
During the flight from the United States to Canada you will be asked
to fill out declaration form.
Canadian customs will collect the for, proceed to your carrier's
Airline ticket counter or your tour operator agency's booth to pick
up your documents. At the carrier's or tour operator agency's counter,
ask for your tour operator representative so you can pay for or
pick up your travel package.
With tickets in hand, you can now check in for your flight. Note
that most carriers only allow one carry-on. Be prepared to check
all other bags.

Airport to Hotel
You will be arriving in Jose Marti Airport. Never get in a Cuban
taxi without discussing price before especially if you don't see
a meter. never tip the driver if the meter is covered up either.
Four Types Of Taxis
1) Tourist taxis which are the most expensive ones.
2) Pannataxi which are real cheap if the taximeter is running. If
you bargain a fixed price beforehand you may pay more.
3) Taxi particular which are old cars with a incredible smelling
of gasoline and are more expensive than Pannataxi with a taximeter
and not worth the price.
4) So called Peso-Taxis which are the cheapest ones if they take
you.

Customs and immigrations
Arrive at Jose Marti Airport in Havana, deplane into the spacious
red-roofed, white-beamed facilities, and follow the yellow and black
signs in English to the immigration desks.
Havana's customs and immigration is less casual than Canadian but
nothing to get in a sweat about. Immigration is composed of about
20 stations, each with a short hall, small office, teller-style
window, exit door and one agent. Most agents and airport employees
speak some English.
As you slide your tourist card and passport across the counter to
the immigration agent, you should politely request that the agent
stamp only your tourist card and not your passport.
Immigration agents are quite used to this request from American
travelers, aware of the legal nettles that could arise from a Cuban
stamp on a U.S. passport. They will oblige your request, generally
without remark. Once your tourist card is stamped and your passport
examined, the agent will press a button unlocking the door for your
entry to customs.
Cuban customs X-rays your carry-on baggage, just like in any other
airport, as well as frisking you. This is low key and pretty informal
a female security agent checks female travelers, and a male agent
checks male travelers.
Collect your luggage at baggage claim, but keep your passport
and tourist card handy. You'll have to show them to one more agent
before you leave the baggage area. He or she will make sure you
have your tourist card, glance at your passport photo, and casually
ask if this is your first time visiting Cuba, how many days you'll
be staying, and the name of your hotel or rent a room address.
Immigration officers frequently ask tourists for a hotel voucher.
You are not allowed to enter the Country without an address where
you will be staying. If you are unable to supply the officer with
the address of your accommodation you can be forced to make a reservation
for a couple of days at the port of entry. Instead of the name of
a hotel you can also enter the address of the casa particular you
will be staying at.
Transportation from the airport should be included in your travel
package. A driver, who received your name via the tour company,
will be waiting along with a coterie of fare-ready taxi drivers
right outside the baggage claim area. An appropriate tip for an
airport drive is $ 2.
When returning to the United States the above steps basically work
in reverse. Instead of paying an airport or departure tax to your
transit country, you must pay $ 20. departure tax in Cuba. If you
are traveling on the sly, having circumvented the license application
process, exercise discretion by removing Havana baggage tags from
your luggage and discarding any goods or papers including boarding
passes.
When completing your reentry to the United States, don't advertise
your travel time in Cuba. As far as anyone is concerned, you've
been in Toronto or Montreal.

Customs Tips
Travelers can bring in two bottles of liquor, a carton of cigarettes,
personal effects, photographic equipment, typewriter, personal jewelry,
etc., all duty free. They cannot bring in firearms, narcotics, pornography
or Cuban currency. Durable goods or valuables acquired in Cuba must
be declared upon leaving the country, showing receipts.
|
|
|
| |
|
Passports and Visas
U.S. citizens are required to have a valid passport and a Cuban
Tourist card to enter Cuba.
|
|
|
| |
|
Traveler's Checks
Traveler's checks issued from a U.S. bank cannot be used. You can
purchase traveler's checks from Thomas Cook or Visa in Canada, but
this will require that you first change your U.S. dollars into the
Canadian dollars, then purchase U.S. dollar traveler's checks. This
is generally a money-losing endeavor, not counting the fee charged
by the company issuing the checks. In addition, hotels charge a
hefty 4% commission for cashing traveler's checks, and banks charge
between 2% and 3%. But if a traveling mishap occurs, the security
of "emergency funds" can be well worth the exchange rate
and commissions. We suggest purchasing a small sum of "emergency"
traveler's checks while in your transit country, either from a Thomas
Cook or a Visa office in Airport.
|
|
|
| |
|
Credit Cards
U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens are prohibited from
using credit cards in Cuba. U.S. credit card companies do not accept
vouchers from Cuba, and Cuban shops, hotels and other places of
business do not accept U.S. credit cards. Neither personal checks
nor travelers' checks drawn on U.S. banks are accepted in Cuba.
|
|
|
| |
|
Tipping
At client's discretion, not included in bill. Normally tourists
give to the waiter 10% (cash) of the bill.
Bring lots of small bills -- no-one can break 50ís or 100 dollar
bills Cuban tourism workers rely on tips. People who deserve a US$1
tip include museum staff who give you a complete tour, hotel guards
who watch your rental car all night, helpful bus drivers, attentive
wait staff or anyone in the service industry who goes beyond the
call of duty. Do not offer money to officials to obtain preferential
treatment; governmental corruption is rare in Cuba and attempted
bribery will only make things worse.
Taxes: Nothing is taxed anywhere in Cuba.
|
|
|
| |
|
Cash
There are three types of money in Cuba. The Cuban Peso which is
the national money. The Convertible Peso which is used as Dollar
and de USD itself as the third used type. The convertible Peso and
Dollar are called divisa or "Fula", too. You can change
the Convertible Peso into USD at the airport before leaving the
country, because it doesn't have value out of it.
In Cuba you need more Dollars or Convertible Pesos which are the
same. All hotels, private houses Taxis (Pannataxi, Touristaxi, Havanataxi,
Taxi OK etc.), shops (called in Cuba "shopping") only
accept USD.
You can change your USD into Cuban Pesos in the money change
Houses, called "CADECA". You receive 21 Pesos (January
2000) per each USD. There are CADECAS in big cities only, that's
why you need to change a lot of Dollars if you want to travel for
a long time into the country side.
If you go to Cuba for one or two weeks, and if you want to stay
only in touristic places like Vedado, Havana, Trinidad, Santiago
de Cuba and so on you don't need Cuban Pesos. But if you want to
go the the country side traveling like Cubans and like I suggest
it at my page you need the national money!
Take lots and lots of $1 bills and even lots of US Coins.
You must pay for almost everything you buy in dollars, and unless
the seller has small bills (not likely), you will get virtually
worthless pesos in change, making costs even higher than they already
are.

How much to bring
Below are costs for tow places in Cuba to compare a higher priced
area to a lower priced area.
Casa Particular: $25 Cienfuegos, $35 Havana
Casas are the best way to go. See how truly wonderful Cuban people
are as you share their house with them. They are always clean, comfortable,
air-conditioned casas in very safe areas (which is just about anywhere
in Cuba) that have attached full bathrooms with hot water. Food and
ancillary services such as food and laundry are almost always available.
Of course, if you prefer, there are many world-class hotels that you
can stay in in Havana and a couple of nice ones in Cienfuegos.
Food: $20 Cienfuegos, $25 - $30 Havana
Typical breakfast in casas consist of fresh fruit, Cuban coffee, an
omelets with toast and fresh squeezed juice. Typically, it costs $4-$5
per person. Lunch can be had at any Paladar for about $4-$7 or at
a number of fast food establishments (El Rapido, Rumbos) for about
$2-$3. A typical Cuban dish of Chicken with Congri and fried Platanos
is about $8-$10 in a Paladare.
Transportation: $10-$25 Cienfuegos and Havana
Taxis are cheap in Cuba, typically $1-$2 for short hops to $5
across town. The bus ride between Havana and Cienfuegos (one way)
on a beautiful coach with A/C and movies is only $20. on Viazul.
If you'd like a driver, with car, at your disposal for the day, they
are available from $25-$35 a day.
Personal Expenses: $50 a day Havana and Cienfuegos
Now that you've got the basics covered, this would include anything
from alcoholic beverages, entrance fees to events, shopping....whatever.
Of course, it could be more (up to the per diem rate) or less depending
on your spending habits.
Getting Laid: $20-$100 per day. |

Casa
Particular
A Casa Particular is Cuba's equivalent
to Bed & Breakfast. The plural of casa particular is Casas Particulares,
not casa particulars. They are basically people's homes and they rent
out a portion or a section of their home, maybe even a separate guest
house.
There are two kinds of houses: an official private house and
non official. An official house the owner
of it has to pay tasks (fees) to the state. In general these tasks
are very high for the Cuban people, between 100 USD and 250 USD per
month. It depends on the region. For instance, in Vedado (part of
Havana) the tasks are of 250 USD per month, in Viñales (Pinar del
Rio) the owners have to pay "only" 100 USD per month. Living
in these houses you'll not have problems with the state, neither with
your own security, but the situation in the houses without license
(no officials) is really different.
If
you're in doubt if a house is official or not, there's a easy
way to find it out. At every house which rents with a license you
will find at the main port a sign (image). A blue one for people renting
in USD, a red one (hard to find) for people which are allowed to rent
in Cuban Pesos.
The prices for renting a house (a room) in Cuba are between
10 USD and 30 USD daily for each room. If you compare it with other
countries you'll see it's rather expensive in Cuba. The reason is
because of the tax that has to be given to the state.
Many times people will come up to you and try to get you to rent a
place that they know about that is a good deal. These people are working
on a commission basis, which they will receive a lot of money. The
problem is that the owner is not who has to pay the money, but you!
I can give you an example. A house or a room in Trinidad normally
costs 10 USD per day, but when the owner has to pay commissions it
costs 15 USD, 5 USD for the person that showed you the house. He/she
will receive it each day that you stay in the room. The same for the
meal prices. They will cost also more, for each meal the hustler receive
a commission!
The private houses in Cuba are as different as the Cuban people.
There are houses where you feel as a "Member of the family".
These are very nice families and there are others where you are totally
independent of the family. You'll have your own key sometimes also
your own entry, a room with air condition, television, refrigerator,
etc. There are families interested in you, there are others only interested
in your money. There are houses where the owners give you a big breakfast
with fruits and a lot of other things, but in others in the same town,
the owners say that is impossible to find fruits.
A Member writes: "You'll
enjoy the freedom you gain from not being in a hotel e.g. It is illegal
for any Cuban to enter a hotel room. You can quickly develop genuine
Cuban relationships and become deeply involved in the culture. Before
you know it you'll be part of the family. If you are single, they'll
make every effort to match-make you with their most attractive friends.
You'll be made to feel very special."
Casa Tip: Always take a suitcase full of clothes and cosmetics
and the like to give to the Cuban family who's casa particular you
stay with. |

Hotels
The hotels are not "SEX TRAVELER" friendly. I mean the
hotels are bad for the single adult travel man. In each hotel you
must pay the gateman at the entrance, if you want take a girl to your
room. In some hotels you must register the girl. All girls ask if
you stay in a hotel or a casa particular. Most girls offer you a private
house for a few hours if you say you stay in a hotel. In which case,
you will wind up paying a commission for the room she gets and her
fee. It is better to stay in a casa particular (a private house).
Then you have no problems when you want a girl for the entire night.
The normal range for private houses are from 15$-35$ per night.
Prices for hotels:
Budget: US$15-25 Mid-range: US$25-100 Top-end: US$100 and upwards
Cuba is still reasonably affordable, though not cheap. A double room
in a medium-priced beachside resort runs US$50, US$100 all-inclusive.
The same room in a state-run hotel costs around US$35, and in a private
residence US$15-25.
One Member wrote: Since this was my first visit and I wasn't
familiar with the "Casas Particulares," I stayed in a hotel.
This posed a problem when it came to bringing women back to the room;
I spent twice as much money as necessary because I had to give the
concierge a hefty tip to allow the women to come up. The rule in the
tourist hotels in Havana, and elsewhere in Cuba, is the following:
no women allowed in the room who aren't registered at the front desk.
When the manager was in, I couldn't persuade the concierge to accept
the "mordida." In these cases I'd have to take the woman
to a "casa particular" and pay $20 for an hour--along with
her own rate.

Food
and Drink
Cuban food is highly seasoned, but does not use hot spices. Traditional
dishes are generally based on rice and beans, pork, and fried or bodied
root vegetables flavored with onion and garlic. Meals are usually
accompanied by beer. Seafood is of excellent quality and taste. However
it has been reported by many travelers on our site that the food is
not very good in Cuba, however in our members section you might find
some good places to eat!
A Budget meal can cost US$5-10. A Mid-range meal can cost US$10-20.
And a Top-end meal can cost US$20 and upwards.
State Run restaurants: A meal in a state-run restaurant is
US$10-15
Paladar (privately owned restaurant) averages US$7.
Rum is the drink of Cuba. There are extra dry and aged rums of magnificent
bouquet. The white rum mixes with practically everything and is ideal
for cocktails. The traditional drinks of Cuba are the Cuba Libre,
Mojito, Mulata and Daiquiri. There are various brands of beer as well
as carbonated beverages.
Do NOT, under any circumstance, drink water
unless it is in a bottle. It costs depending on where you buy it,
65 cents to $1.10 for 1.5 liters. Drinking tap water will make you
sick.
Bottled water is available all over the island. |

Photos
You can take a camera with you but do not take anywhere near military
and prohibited zones. The girls are very shy when it comes to getting
pictures taken in the nude but some can be persuaded. A digital camera
is the best. No developing and no worries about film being confiscated.
Some put the memory card inside your wallet or even sock when exiting
the country. |

Words
and Phrases
Jiniteras: Many girls who are prostitutes do not use that word
themselves. They prefer to call themselves "Jiniteras."
Anyone who makes a black market living on tourists is a "Jinetera"
or "Jineteros." The word means "horse rider."
The horse in this case is the tourist.
Paladar means a private restaurant. Cubans are allowed to operate
some small restaurants. The law says that this restaurants can't have
more than three tables and twelve chairs. They have to pay a high
tax, the tax depends much from the place.
Carnets: These are Cuban ID's and you will see the police checking
the girls ID's from time to time. |
|
|
| |
Touts
and Beggars
Refrain from handing out money or anything else to children or
beggars on the street. Cubans are not allowed to beg from tourists,
and plain clothes police are on duty in most places where tourists
and Cubans mix. It may be gratifying to hand out trinkets to people
you view as needy, but these people could be questioned as soon as
you disappear from sight, and you may be personally responsible for
sending someone to prison.
Avoid Jineteros (touts) who offer to lead you to a room or
restaurant, unless you don't mind having an extra US$5 or so tacked
onto your bill.
Cubans on the street: All they want are your dollars! They
will offer you casas, cigars, Chica's or whatever you want. Ignore
them, you will never make a good deal on streets. |

Girl
Tips
Cuban girls love sex and they do not get offended by overtures
the way cold blooded American bitches do.
The normal Cuban girl begins her sexually active life in the average
of 12 years of age. A 16 year old girl is in the best years
whereas the 18 - 20 years old ones seemed to be already old.
The typical Cuban girl with whom you might seek a relationship with
will in all likelihood will be very skilled, maybe a lawyer, doctor,
optometrist.
In general, the Cuban girls have “dark” features, and their eyes are
dark, some with an almost single eye-brow - thick eyebrows, don’t
shave, and have HUGE fucking forests growing between their legs.
The Cuban girls have a somewhat longer nose and broader nostrils....
slightly protruding forehead.. Makes them look “angry”.. And though
they can be “sweet” they can look absolutely fucking hideous/evil
when they get angry or demanding - which some of these girls do get.
Bring all condoms you suppose that you will need. All Cuban girls
(including the professionals) has no condoms.
How Cuban Women Feel Towards Men: "Age or looks
are irrelevant here to the girls. Your heart (and sometimes your pocket
book) is what counts. I dated two 18 year olds and they felt like
real girlfriends (yes, I know this is fantasy island). Some girls
just want some chocolates from the dollar stores, some wanted nada,
some a friend in the U.S and some wanted $$ -- you'll will meet all.
A good girl (even though she sleeps with you in two hours of meeting
you) will be insulted by money offers -- take her shopping or buy
her a real dinner or use your imagination. Sex is part of life in
Cuba, as we learn how to drive, the girls learn how to please -- they
are all experts and sex is part of their daily routine." |

Security
Cuba is a hospitable country. It is easy to find help whenever
you need it. The streets are safe and attacks are rare. There are
tourism police in hotel areas. |

Medical
Facilities Medical care does not meet U.S. standards.
Many U.S. medications are unavailable. It is useful for travelers
to Cuba to bring with them any prescribed medicine, which is for their
personal use. A copy of the prescription and a letter from the physician
explaining the need for prescription drugs facilitates entry into
the country. U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the
United States. Travelers have found that, in some cases, supplemental
medical insurance with specific overseas coverage, including provision
for medical evacuation, has proved to be useful. Useful information
on medical emergencies abroad, including overseas insurance programs,
is provided in the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs
brochure, Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad <medical.html>,
available via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page <http://travel.state.gov/>
at http://travel.state.gov and autofax service at (202) 647-3000.
Tourists needing medical assistance are usually steered to
the CLINICA CIRA GARCIA, at Calle 20 # 4101, Miramar, tel. 33-2811.The
fully staffed hospital is entirely dedicated to serving foreigners.
You pay in dollars-credit cards are acceptable unless they're issued
on an USA bank- (in which case, cash are required)
Low income patients are served by HOSPITAL HERMANOS AMEJEIRAS,
at the corner of Padre Varela (Belascoaín) and San Lázaro, in Centro
Habana, tel 70-7721.
You can buy medicines at the FARMACIA INTERNACIONAL, at the rear
of the CLINICA CIRA GARCIA. It also has a splendid range of Western
drugs. |

Health
Tips
Cuba’s quality public health system extends across the entire
country and is free for Cubans. In emergency cases tourists are also
given medical care free of charge.
Cuba is a very healthy country. Hepatitis A is a common problem among
travelers drinking tap water in areas with poor sanitation.
Getting Rid of Lice
There is a product called "RID", that takes care of
body lice, head lice, as well as pubic crabs. Its sold over the counter
and is also available from drugstore.com. It isn't a spray but
it is a type of shampoo. Probably a good idea to lather up before
you go home just to be sure.
There are different anti-lice shampoos. The ones with the active ingredient
permethrine 1% is best (easy to apply), malathion 0.5% is also good.
Permethrine is the most expensive one, but still quite cheap: about
$6 for one bottle.
Adequate antibiotica against chlamydia or gonorrhea is not expensive
as well (I don't know the exact costs). |
|
|
| |
Shopping
Duty free shops can be found in all hotels and airports. Cuban
cigars, rum, liqueurs, arts and crafts, t-shirts and other souvenirs
are good buys. All goods taken out of the country must be accompanied
by official government receipts, as well as a stamp of approval for
certain arts and crafts. |
|
|
| |
Transportation
Tourists can go anywhere in the country with complete freedom,
at any hour of the day or night, by foot, by taxi, by plane, by train,
by bus or by rent-a-car.
In Havana town, a taxi will cost 2 to 3 US$.
Taking the bus or train runs about US$4 for 100 miles (160km), while
a rental car could cost as much as US$100 a day.
Tip: Before you take a taxi, ask how much it costs. Always
arrange a price before you get into a taxi. |

Areas,
Towns and Cities
There are different cities, towns and areas in Cuba where you
can find Cuban women who want to have sex with you for very little
or no money at all. The rule is the same for anywhere in the world
that the bigger the city, the more expensive the sex will be; supply
and demand. If there are a lot of tourists or foreigners in an area,
then the prices will usually be higher, in most cases. For example,
take the city of Havana. Havana is probably the most expensive place
to find sex with women. It can cost between $50 and $100 for a girl.
But there are other cities and towns that sex can be found $15 a session,
or short time. In our members section we have a list of places in
Cuba where you can find young Cuban girls that will have sex with
you that are sweeter and with less attitudes. Below are some of the
places in Cuba we feature in our members section. |
|
|
| |
Havana (La
Habana) is the largest city in the Caribbean and the center of all
things Cuban. In Havana you have towns, areas, hotels, streets, beaches,
clubs and discos that all have horny Cuban women looking for foreigners
to have sex with them.
Havana
Other places in Havana include:
Vedado: This part of the city is occupied
primarily by office blocks and hotels, business is centered on La
Rampa. At night the area known as La Rampa in the Vedado area of Havana
is literally alive with pretty young girls roaming around hoping to
link up with a tourist for the night or a few days. It is unlike anything
you have ever seen.
The
famous waterfront street, El Malecón, is the place to see the Havana
skyline and glorious Caribbean sunsets. In the summer months, the
walled beach boulevard, the Malecón, is filled with people sitting
on the seawall. Just walk along the Malecón after sunset and you will
be approached. Chances are also good that you will find someone during
the day.
Palmeder: (spelling?) just outside Cienfuegos. To get there,
go down the Prado about 15 kilometers. If you end up at the ocean,
you went the wrong way. There are lots of non-pros wandering around.
Rent a car and cruse around. In no time you will find yourself a cutie
you can take back to Cienfuegos and bang for a week. Do not pay the
girls from Palmeder more than $10 or you will fuck them up as well.

Ciego
De Avila
Cuba's best kept secret is Ciego
de Avila. It is dominated by Italians and a few older Canadian guys
also go there. The short of it is they have a lot of beautiful non
pro Chica's, very affectionate and gF types. They are happy with $20.
Police are not a problem. Casas are inexpensive. Hotel Ciego de Avila
is also good. |
|
|
| |
Cienfuegos
Cienfuegos means "100 Fires" while locals often refer to
it as La Perla del Sur (The Pearl of the South) or La Linda Ciudad
del Mar (The Beautiful City by the Sea). The famous Cuban performer
Benne More sang "Cienfuegos the city I like best".
Getting There: The easiest method of travel for Americans is
to fly from either Toronto or Mexico. There are flights daily from
most major American cities to Toronto. Tickets in Toronto can be purchased
over the phone and then picked up at a booth in Toronto International
Airport two hours before departure. An air-only return flight for
one or two weeks will cost from $130 to $330 USD depending on season.
It is recommended to call several agencies as prices will often vary
between agencies. Book your casa in Cienfuegos on line before you
arrive in Cuba.
Food: These are pictures of El Rapido in Cienfuegos.
The name means fast, but this place does not know the meaning of fast.
You can live off the food but do not expect a Big Mac. The menu consists
of Ham/Cheese sandwich that is either 1/2 frozen or so hot you cannot
hold it. $1.50. Hot Dog that is usually stale $0.65.
Small microwave pizza that tastes bland $1.50. Chicken leg that
is cooked in magic grease that requires you to wash your hands 4 times
to get them clean and of course there is no soap in the bathroom..
The chicken is also, $1.50 and you get 4-5 cold French fries with
it if you are lucky.
Hotels
Hotel Jagua. The only 4 star hotel in Cienfuegos. It would
not be considered a 4 star hotel in other countries. The dinner buffet
is okay here for $15.00
What To Bring: Toilet Paper, bug repellent, suntan lotion and
bandages, good supply of diarrhea medicine, condoms.
Soap and Shampoo: You cannot buy good soap and shampoo in Cienfuegos
even in the dollar stores.
Plenty of T-shirts: Cubans will always ask for clothes from
tourists.
Portable Flashlight: Power grid often goes out and many streets
have no working street lights.
Presents: If you are the generous type, here are some things
that do not cost too much that Cubans often like as gifts. Medicine,
pens, pencils, note pads, small toys for the children, (I often see
children using condoms for balloons as they cannot afford balloons),
baseballs, fake jewelry, any type of clothing including children's
clothing, sun glasses, hats, books, magazines, newspapers (English
students often have no up to date material to read), baby food, paper,
music on cassette, nail polish, lipstick, compact cassette players.
Medicine: Bring a good supply of all medicines you might take
such as painkillers, allergy pills and cough medicine.
Safety: There is little crime against tourists and it is more
than safe to walk down the streets at night. Although the odd pick
pocket may occur, violent crime against tourists is almost unheard
of. Caution should only be given while walking down the poorly lit
back streets at night.
The Pussy Situation: There are only two main places to meet
ladies at night and it all centers around the Malecón and Rapidos.
The Rapidos is an open-air Burger/King. At night (good time to start
the hunt is around 10.00 P.M.) it swarms with pros, amateurs, couples
and everything in between. Across the street is the Malecón and some
girls sit on the bridge awaiting some eye contact. If there is any
sort of Police around, they all go to Rapidos and chat with their
girl friends -- this is the safe area!
Malecón is found by walking down the Prado towards Hotel Jagua
Fishermen can be observed in the daytime while it becomes the cities
entertainment center at night.
Girls here are different than Havana. Seems to be no distinction
between short time and long time and girls will ask for $30.00 and
settle for $20.00. Just make sure she has her id and is of proper
age.
Night Clubs And Discos: Disco La Carabena is one the town's hot
spots. You'll find many Chica's here that will give you a good time.
Be careful of pick pocketing here. The place is located about three
blocks away from the famous El Rapido (across the street and away
from the center of town). Every night (with the exception of Saturday,
which was curiously empty), there were plenty of Chica's to choose
from. Very much like Rio's "Help" Disco. Don't expect
the dancing to start before 11:30 p.m. There is a $2 cover charge,
and all drinks are $1 a piece. Almost all of the girls there are regulars.
The music is reasonable, with a mix of disco (mostly), with some salsa,
reggae, and slow dances at the end of the night (4 a.m.).
Benny Mores: Located (very close to Park
Marti on the pedestrian mall street). Typical Cuban yuppie club. Live
music. Ladies are more "upscale" here and if you like a
"challenge" this might be the place for you. Drink prices
are very expensive here.
Arte EX (two blocks away from Carabena), and the basement of
the Pallacio de Valle (several blocks further out of town along the
Prado, across from Hotel Jagua).
Club Caribbean: (in Punta Gorda, one street parallel to the
Malecón towards the water). Probably the only "happening"
disco in Cienfuegos. Two bucks to get in. Ladies $20 for the "evening"
or "two hours"
in some cases. |

Pinar
The 'action' is concentrated
in two or three places. The most important place where tourists
look for Chica's (and v.v.) is without question Cafe Pinar in
Calle Gerardo Medina (opposite to the Coppelia). Here you can
find young girls from noon till midnight. Of course, the choice
is much larger in the evening, but in the afternoon, there are always
a few cuties trying to attract the attention of visiting tourists. Pinar
Most of these girls are teenagers (from 18 up). Eye contact,
a smile and a nod are enough to have them at your table in a few
secs. But be aware, they hunt in packs. Most likely, several of
her girlfriends will join her at your table. And they are always
very thirsty: a beer, a refresco, how could you refuse? Without
knowing it you are easily 10$ lighter before even being to the point
of getting the girls' name right. So it is wise to make your pick
quickly and disappear with your latest sweetheart to a more private
place.
At night (from 22:00 onwards), the place gets usually very
crowded, especially when there is life music. Both tourists and
Cubans have to pay entrance fee in US$ but tourists pay twice or
sometimes trice as much - I never quite figured out the entrance
fee policy of the Cafe Pinar. At night, the ratio of girls to tourists
is less than 2:1, so it is better not to wait too long before making
your choice.
Another nice place to go is El
Criollo, which is an open-air cabaret close to the pub La Taverna
at Calle Solano Ramos. There is dancing after the show and there
are always lots of gorgeous chicks around, most of which are very
available. The Criollo is not open every night of the week, but
there didn't seem to be any fixed days when I was in Pinar. Better
ask around first if you want to go there.
Very good places to pick up girls in Pinar are musical events in
the streets. Lots of very pretty girls in skimpy dresses dancing
seductively and smiling all the time.
In Pinar, you can find girls of
any size and color available. The racial mix is comparable to
Havana. But the similarity stops there. In Pinar, most Chica's are
very simple peasant girls without any sophistication or interests
beyond food and clothes. Oh yes, and sex of course. This is not
too bad for a one-night stand but it lacks stimulation if
you prefer a GFE.
Police: There is heavy police presence in the main streets,
especially at night. It is not as bad as Havana though, and they
do not seem to bother any girls in the presence of tourists. They
also don't bother the tourists, of course. However, touts, 'guides'
and other Jineteros are really afraid of them. At one night, there
was a platoon of 10 cops taking siege of the Cafe Pinar and arresting
every young Cuban guy who was even speaking with a tourist. I heard
that they get heavy fines (75US$). Cops are always present on Marti
between Isabel Rubio and Colon, checking cars on the (illegal) presence
of tourists. The drivers usually know how to avoid them.
Better stay clear of the girls INSIDE the fancy clubs...
they tend to be the hardened pros and if you don't speak Spanish
it's hard to correct their attitude. Well they have shelled out
a lot of money already and want it back (from you!). Girls OUTSIDE
the clubs are better, they don't have the money to pay the admission
fee (can be 10 or 15$) and are much nicer if you treat them to a
nice evening.

Prices
for Sex
The prices are between 15$ and 40$. This is also depends on your
age, your looks and if the girl likes you. In the Disco's
the price ranges from 35$ to 70$. The best Chica's want up to $100.
It helps if you have little gifts for her like shampoo, t-shirts,
make-up, etc.
A member wrote: "A reasonable price for a young (18-20
year old) hot prostitute is $25-30. A few at clubs tried to charge
$80 or more, but I didn't pay it! There are literally thousands of
young ones that you can pick from who will accept $25-30, since this
is a huge sum today in Cuba. |

Clubs and Discos in Cienfuegos
D'Prisa: (On the Prado, just
up from El Rapido) As Of August
2000, this is still the main "hotspot" in Cienfuegos. It
doesn't start hoppin until after midnight. Hang out with the locals,
drink, dance and have a good time. Free. It has been know to have
police in it every night so the selection is getting very limited.
Many are underage as well.
Bene More: (At the end of El Boulevard near Parque Marti) High
end disco. Real nice with live music. Good place to bring your
Chica. $3 admission. It is also known to have girls who all want too
much money. And there is often a line to enter so I do not bother.
Casa Verde: Prado e/ Ave 4 y 6. Located near Hotel Jagua with
mainly Cubans with a strong party-vibe all nights but even more concentrated
at the weekends. Entrance: 1 USD as well as the price of each beer.
Open-air with sea-view and swimming-pool.
Discoteca La Caribeña: Calle 35 e/ 20 y 22
A terraced garden with dance floor and bar. 1 USD for entrance and
usually attract very much young people and a lot of Jiniteras
and Jineteros as well.
Discoteca El Benny: Ave 54e/ 29 y 31. Entrance: 4 USD. Very
polished to be a Cuban disco, reminds of a European one. The prices
still are 1 USD/beer and the dance floor has the best light equipments
in town.
Discoteca Jagua: Hotel Jagua. New-opened (25th of July) disco.
1 USD should do the entrance and it should have the newest sound-
and light-equipments. |

Clubs
and Discos
Some of the clubs you walk into looks and feels and sounds like
any other club in the US. It's packed with people and especially young
(18-21 years old), well-dressed, and attractive girls. Then you discover
that almost any of those girls are "available" to you. You
sit back and check out the wide array of beauties until you find the
right one. Teen fantasy girls with huge tits, cuties with small tight
asses, black girls with round butts, you name it. The most attractive
women at some of the clubs, however, will ask for a lot of money,
especially if they suspect that you are new to Cuba and don't know
the ropes. Finding out you are from the US can jack up the price to
$100, especially if you don't speak Spanish. After some negotiation
the price can come down to $45-$50.
A Member writes: "One 19-year-old fantasy wore a short
red skirt barely covering her firm round ass. Fifteen minutes after
I first met her, I had her on her hands and knees at a rented room,
with her skimpy skirt pulled up and resting on her back. It quite
frankly was the best piece of ass I've ever had, She was incredibly
tight and dripping wet!! She told me the youngest guy she had dated
was 15 and the oldest was 74!--no doubt a tourist. I plowed her beautiful
young ass the following day, which was even tighter than her snatch."
Clubs and Discos In

Great music too with a cabaret show to boot.
Impanema: ( AT the Hotel Copacabana) Small place with

Legal
Age
Age of consent is 18 years old
It is no problem for a 16 year old Cuban to fuck a 14 year old
girl. But it is a *BIG* problem for a tourist to fuck any girl under
16. You can go to jail for this for up to 20 years. Not only could
you get in a lot of shit in Cuba, imagine if the newspapers at home
picked up you did a 14 year old and wrote you were some pervert taking
advantage of these poor children.
ID Cards
On the ID-card front side is a big number that starts with expl.
811208.... means she is born on the 8th of December 1981!
If the girl says she does not have her ID she is for sure a minor.
All Cubans must by law carry an ID card. Often the 15 year olds will
say they lost it and assure you over and over again they are older.
If you are in a licensed house the owner will not let these girls
in anyway. So, do not waste any time and money on a girl who does
not have an ID card. Also, you will often see cards with the picture
stuck on with tape on the back, these too are minors. Sometimes they
will say they have fake ID because they do not want to get in trouble
for being a Jinetera, but it is more likely they have fake ID because
they are a minor. Look VERY closely at the pic of the girl as well.
If she sticks her thumb over the pic when she shows you the ID, just
go look for another girl. I have seen underage girls MANY times with
someone else's ID but say it is them, and I have seen many tourists
tricked by this. If a minor stays in a rental house, the owner goes
to jail so they check for sure. |

Beaches
Best time to go to Cuba to enjoy the beach activity is in the
summer months, June, July and August. There is one beach one of our
members writes about that is a half hour taxi ride east from central
Havana) where there are hundreds of young and attractive thong-clad
ladies basking in the sun and walking about the sand.
Mar Azul: (now also called Tropicoco)
Our Member recalls his last trip to Cuba as of July 2000: "I
was there the first week of July, when many young women are on a break
from high school and are in Havana, or other tourist spots, to earn
money, so the average age of the girls was about 18. It looks like
any other beach you have been to before--until you realize that most
of the men there are foreigners and all of the women are young Cubanas.
You discover that almost all of those bikini-clad girls are "available"
to you. Again, you wait for the right one (pretty brunettes of every
skin color, including dark-skinned mulattos). I was taken aback by
the sheer array of young beauties on this beach. I could have had
two or three cute 18-yr-olds if I had wanted. One tanned young cutie,
with the tightest ass and perkiest tits I have ever seen, strolled
by me in the sand. I smiled at her, she immediately came and sat next
to me. We negotiated a price ($30), and after a ten minute taxi ride
I had the lovely girl bent over a couple of pillows with her bikini
bottom at her ankles, while I pounded her for all she was worth, first
up her snatch, and then finishing in her ass!" |

Hooker
Areas
Malecón: If you cruise the streets and the Malecón, you can find
plenty of women for 20-25 dollars.
In Malecón you can find a few girls waiting for customers in front
of the Habana Riviera and the Nacional hotels, and on brightly lit
parts of the road on the way to the Commodore Hotel.
Inside Hotels: Similar quality pussy also hangs around some
of the 3-5 star hotels at night. Sometimes they even manage to get
inside and sit in the lobby’s bars. Try hotels Caribbean, Deauville,
Habana Libre, Inglaterra, Lido, Nacional, Capri and Plaza (see addresses).
Daytime: In day time girls hang around Cafe (Cafeteria) Monseigneur
at O, entre 23 y 25, which is near the hotels Nacional and Capri.
They are mainly black girls.
Several girls out on 5th Ave between Vedado and Miramar....
between 3 and 5pm is best...
The most notorious places to pick up a hooker are the 5th and
23rd Avenues in Vedado, the boulevard Prado in La Habana Vieja, and
to a lesser extent the beach boulevard Malecón. Come here after sunset
and girls will approach you. Prices are around $50 for the whole night.
Cathedral/el Patio in old Habana-afternoon/evening.
Other parks in old Habana and around Paseo Prado.
Playa del Este in front of Tropicoco (weather permitting). |

Travel
Tips
Tip #1: Make a hotel booking before you get to Cuba. We didn't,
and arrived in Havana to be confronted by very surly officers who
made us wait for three hours while they tracked down the tourist agent
who proceeded to show us a list of hotels that we were to choose from
if we wanted to be let through immigration. (The cheapest was about
US $30 a night!!!)
Tip #2: Do not get a ride with the taxis that hang outside the
immediate exit of the airport. These guys charge ridiculous prices
(US $50 to get into town). We hung around looking a bit confused for
a while and were soon approached by a guy who offered to take us into
town for only US $5.
There is one thing that I learnt while in the country, and it was
that patience is definitely a virtue. Without it, and a sense of humor,
you will go bonkers in Cuba!
Tip #3: The best food is that you get in the private
houses. As of March 1999 it's illegal for house owners to serve food
to people not staying in the house, but most will do it anyway if
you are discreet about it. Without exception the food is good, plentiful,
natural, and healthy. Costs run from US$5-7 for dinners and $2-3 for
breakfasts. Some will illegally sell lobster and shrimp dinners for
$7-10.
Tip #4: Bring earplugs!! Cuba is definitely a very noisy
country where people often get up early and there is always a neighbor
putting on a radio very loud at 8 in the morning.
Tip #5: In almost every city the streets are called
by their old names by the Cubans and not by the new ones carrying
"revolutionary" names - even on the cards for the tourists.
Tip #6: As you are no doubt aware passports are not stamped on
entry into Cuba (for obvious reasons). Instead a piece of paper is
stamped and placed inside your passport, the cost of which is $15USD.
Well on departure I had to hand over my passport in order to get a
boarding pass, and when I did, my visa had disappeared! Naturally
no one could find it and eventually after paying a further $15USD,
and a considerable delay (during which my passport was checked on
a computer to ascertain that I wasn't an arms dealer or a member of
a Columbian drug cartel) another visa was issued so that I could leave.
My advice to travelers therefore is to staple the visa to your passport.
Tip #7: Toilet paper: Take a little of your own when you are
walking around town and expect to use a restaurant or public toilet
(seriously). This is one thing that the Cubans are short of.
Tip #8: Take just enough money for the night... without paying
up-front if you intend to bring a girl back to your casa (which is
THE major reason for getting a casa!). Carry a PHOTOCOPY of your passport
- NOT the real thing... and photocopy of your driver's license and
credit cards...- from a color copier...take several with you in case
you lose one or two... then you will NOT have to worry about losing
"EVERYTHING". Also, carry wallets, money in FRONT pocket
- it is MUCH harder to get into those without being noticed... |

What
to Bring
A Good camera, extra batteries, and plenty of film. Spanish phrase
books and/or tiny dictionaries. A small flashlight. A credit card
size calculator. Medical Kit: keep prescribed medications in their
original containers with readable labels. Bring vitamin pills (if
you normally take then), moisturizer for your skin, good sunscreen

Sex
Experiences
A member writes: "I spotted a sweet teenie all dressed
up. She was thin with short auburn hair. 18 y/o. Police were around
so she wasn't very responsive at first. Then she walked down a side
street and I waved at her to wait. I asked her jokingly "where
we going?" I had a load built up for a few days ready for her.
We found a casa for a short stay for $10. I started making out with
her and then stripped her clothes off to see that tight little body.
I fingered her and took a little taste of her pussy. very clean
down there. We did 69 and I licked her ass. I only lick those little
asses. Big asses make a lot of doody. I put on a condom and fucked
that tight pussy. It was hard to go in and out at first but then her
pussy got nice and slick and I pumped her good until I squirted out
a big load. I gave her $30.
A member writes: "I took a little afternoon stroll down
calle 37 towards hotel Jagua and saw 2 little sweethearts. Exactly
what I was looking for. I took both to a casa. One was light blonde
and the other was a little dark. I made the dark one suck my
dick while I ate out the blondes pussy. I fucked the dark one first
because it would be easier for me to get it up again for the blonde.
After I was done pumping the dark one I rested about 5 minutes. I
got hard again and penetrated the blonde girls pussy. while I was
pumping the blonde girl I sucked on the dark ones big firm tits. They
never mentioned money. After I was all done I gave them $15 each."
A member writes: "I made out with her, then I stripped
her down and licked her body like a dog. I licked her pussy and ass
for a while. I put my finger up her ass. I was as hard as a rock and
ready to fuck. I humped on her for a few minutes then exploded. She
wanted a condom, so I said..... how about just oral.. So we swapped
doing each other orally till she came.. Then I had her lick the end
of my cock while I masturbated and came on her tongue." |

Internet
Cafes and Phones
Internet access Internet is not easily available in Havana - there
aren't any internet shops however if you go to the big hotels you
can access internet there like Hotel National in Vedado I know has
internet access. The 20th floor of the Havana Libre would have access
also, however, I am not sure whether the access is restricted to its
hotel guests. You can also send and receive e-mail at the Infotur
offices at Avenida 5ra esq. 112 in Miramar, tel. (7) 24-7036, e-mail
address infomire@teleda.get.cma.net, and Calle Obispo e/Villegas y
Bernazas, tel (7) 62-4568.
Phone
International country code: [53]
Selected city codes: Havana

Dialing Cuba from Overseas
To call a Cuban number from overseas, dial your country's international
dialing code, then 53 (the country code for Cuba), then the city code,
and finally the number.
Assistance Numbers
International Operator (U.S.)
119
Information (daytime) 113
Local Calls
Local calls are best made from the hotel.
Long Distance Calls
To call within Cuba, dial area code + number. If not from the hotel,
domestic calls can be placed from telecommunication centers (centro
telefonico) in Havana or Varadero.
International Calls
The best bet for direct dialing is from a hotel where the operator
will have the available codes: 88 + country code + area code + number.
Hotels will implement a surcharge of up to 20 percent on the already
high overseas rates. Collect calls are not allowed unless you are
dialing from a private home.
International calls can also
be placed from the telecommunications centers that offer two types
of phones (domestic and international); however, these do not allow
credit card or collect calling. Calls may cost from US$2 to $2.50
a minute.
You may reach an AT&T operator
from Guantanamo Bay only.
AT&T Direct 935
Public Telephones
Public phones are available, but many don't take phone cards.
Calling Cards
Phone cards are available for public phones, or from the hotel desk
for the hotel's own card phones.
Fax machines are very difficult
to find in Cuba. Some top-end hotels may have them. |
